Category:Video editing softwarePolitics: The Democrats have lost the moral high ground. The GOP is now the party of children.
So that’s pretty much what we have right now.
From the Washington Post:
The world is still on fire. The U.S. economy is still struggling. And Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
And the Democrats are losing the presidency.
In a new memo, the Party’s data guru predicted a “grim” year for the blue team. It may be the beginning of the end.

The memo cites a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, which found that Democrats only won 40 percent of college-educated white women, leaving them in a tough spot.
“They are going to be boxed in,” said Jennifer Duffy, who analyzes House races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. “The reality is, at this point, they aren’t going to win the majority of college-educated white women, and that be359ba680
