I know it's a strange thing to say, but I am not despondent about the mid term results. The American right is, in some ways, the victim of its own success with Trump. The ability to slough off the foreign interests and corruption was made impossible because of the victory. Now, the way is opened up to remove these factors for future campaigning so the same mistakes won't be made twice. It's painful but necessary.
