Was Hillary's loss the best thing to ever happen to the Democrats?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

We'll have a definitive answer on Nov. 6. If Dems get at or above 240 house seats, it was definitely worth it.

On the Supreme Court: Liberals never really had it in recent times. Kennedy wasn't really that Liberal, it's just that the media over-obsessed whenever he didn't vote conservative. Same goes for O'Connor. And as much as some Atlasians treat Garland like the second coming of Christ, remember that many progressives see him as a squishy moderate who might just be a slightly more liberal Kennedy.

And then on the Circuit Courts, Dems right now still hold a majority on 8 of the 13 appeals courts, and a 9th court is tied. Even if Trump filled all 15 announced vacancies tomorrow, Dems would still hold a majority on 7 of the 13, with 2 of the 13 tied. So Liberals still have the circuit courts, even after 2 years of Trump.
