No it isn’t. You know what’s devastating? Attribution of what appear to be minor to moderate setbacks to a pattern of LOSING. You know who never does this? Republicans.

That’s how they reemerge from catastrophe: they lick their wounds for 2 or 3 days and come back with redoubled efforts. When are we gonna learn how to respond and put our pedal to the floor?

Enuf pearl-clutching.

“Devastating” is when your candidate dies in a car crash two weeks before an election. And you know what? If you’re a Republican, you find an advantage in that occurrence, blame the “Democrat” Party (sic and sick) and move on and quite possibly win posthumously.
