In 2008 Democrats accomplished the political trifecta that had eluded them for more than 40 years: get a progressive president elected and win landslide victories in the House and Senate at the same time. The question is, was that the high point for the party? Or was it just the beginning of a Democratic golden age? As author Dylan Loewe compellingly argues, Democrats w have a unique chance to make their majority permanent and to dominate politics for a generation to come provided they recognize their opportunity and employ the right strategies to capitalize on it. From the midterms and redistricting to Obama s reelection, from the search for his successor in 2016 to the changing political landscape in 2020 and beyond, Loewe walks readers through what it will take for Democrats to stay in power and why the possibility of turning the nation permanently blue is suddenly so bright.
