"What can you sell when you do not have the White House, the House, or the Senate?" the presentation asks. The answer: "Save the country from trending toward socialism!"

This is what Democrats face this year: aggressive, fear-stoking tactics from a party with little to lose; a party currently demanding compromise and bipartisanship.
Remember to vote Tuesday, May 18.
