Democrats always had the White House — until last week.
As their majorities in Congress slipped away and they ceded the lead in governorships over the past six years, President Obama and his top lieutenants comforted themselves with the changing demographics that they said would make it impossible for a Republican to win the top job.
Donald Trump punctured that belief in stunning fashion last week, sending Democratic voters scrambling to make sense of their losses and igniting a new battle for the party’s soul that promises to last for months.

I wonder what ever happened to this “demographic realignment” that we keep hearing about from Dems and RINOs, in which minority voters are going to overwhelm conservatives and usher in a progressive era for decades? I guess it will have to be put on hold for a while.
Please, please, please put that dirty muzzie as chairman of the DNC.
This from the party of tolerance and inclusion.
Why in the world were they decimated? It can’t be happening.
In the near term, some Democrats are vowing massive resistance to anything Mr. Trump proposes, saying he is an incorrigible racist.
Maybe someone should tell that their RACE CARD has been cancelled due to being overused.
Obama doing a good job. LOL. The demos lost a lot of state houses too.
...see, to narcissist Obama, even his own 'rat party was beneath him.
...but please, go ahead and exult him..
...SUCKERS!
IMHO, They should have run O'Malley.
Even if the losses are cyclical, it’s a major letdown for a party that, a little more than a decade ago, was basking in predictions of an emerging, long-lasting Democratic majority, based on the party’s ability to build a coalition of expanding minority populations such as black, Hispanic and gay voters, young people and women.
Each of those “minority groups” have different and sometimes competing goals. The only way you can keep the coalition is by promising one thing to one group without the other groups learning about it. In this day and age of social media it is going to become impossible to do.
They failed because they made promises that they did not or could not keep. It is not going to get any better as time goes on.
The dems have exhausted their supply of BS.
No longer will we pay attention to that snarky old harpie Pelosi...her stupidity knows no bounds.
Cranky old Harry Reid is a babbling old fool whose venom is way past its expiration date.
Kerry thinks he’s a big wheel because he walks in circles with one foot nailed to the floor.
Obama...time will expose him for the ridiculous clown that he is.
Hillary will get a job in Romania testing pickle jar lids and perfecting unbreakable glass ceilings.
Aw, that’s a shame.
Trump flipped a surprising number of Hispanics to pull the “R” lever. Give him four years and he’ll do the same with the black vote.
tolerate and include every bully, that is. the ones who are ACTUALLY oppressed? forget about um.
/s
When Trump is done, they will be able to write Obama’s legacy on a cocktail napkin.
...in crayon!
Trump needs to bring back the Melting Pot and remind everyone that at the end of the day, we are all Americans.
Lose the hyphens.
LOL - democrats are still making self-serving excuses for themselves... the political cycle? Yeah, right. As long as democrats keep giving themselves 'easy outs', we'll keep winning. Go for it guys...
Good. I laugh at them. I find them worth much ridicule. Bwaaaaaaaahahaaaaa.
