Of course it's where Dems will most oppose anyone you like. After primaries it's Dems versus Republicans. It's wild you'd think it would be different.
Gloat would imply I'm happy about the current arrangement. There was a scientist in antarctica who had to perform surgery on himself. Do you think he was gloating before the surgery finished? No, the political environment sucks right now. I want it changed, because if it keeps trending the way it does right now, I'll be killed. Doing nothing isn't a solution to my problems.
