Sunday Reflection: Failure and Success

"Failure isn't so bad if it doesn't attack the heart. Success is all right if it doesn't go to the head. I learned much more from defeat than I ever learned from winning." -- Legendary sports journalist Grantland Rice, whose elegant style of writing on sports set standards for decades to come.

Dems learned a lot from the 2016 elections, which they are applying to this one. One is work hard every day and not take anything for granted. Another is inaction in the face of daily assaults on our democracy only emboldens the negative and authoritarian forces in our country. We have the opportunity in this fateful election to take our country back from those forces, led by the malicious presence in the Oval Office and his enablers. We have to take it back.

Well said. And Democrats did learn from 2016 and have campaigned well. It will come down to how well we can preserve the sanctity and safety of honest vote counting.
