Posted on 11/28/2016 3:45:03 PM PST by Son House

Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan told Chris Wallace that the Democratic caucus' failure in this past election is due to the fact that their legislators have not concentrated enough on economic issues.

Ryan, 43, who is challenging Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for her House Minority Leader position, said "a robust economic message that covers everybody" is the best prescription for Democrats' success in the future.

Didn't concentrate? Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) has been in the house since January 2003, and he's now figured out Democrat legislation hasn't been good for the economy? How long is the learning curve for Democrats?

Good he's finally caught on, but these should be the people confronting the leadership before they pass utopian economic legislation. How many times were we told "jobs, jobs, jobs"? Too many. their legislators have not concentrated enough? Just a couple of the many examples of 'concentration' efforts by Democrats;

Those were tops on my list plus; there is no way in hell I would ever, under any circumstance, vote for a (D)Marxist.

The idea that the Obama Economy was thriving was a too hard to swallow.

He makes more sense than Peelousy does, but that isn’t saying much.

Peelousy is 76, Spendy Horror is 77, and Clyburned is 76.

They do need someone younger.

Dems keep telling us about how “nuanced” they are. Nope. Just like the RINOS, they still don’t get it.

And they nominated Hillary Clinton, a veritable icon of all the things people despise about the Democrats.

Dems focused on the economy all right. They focused on killing the economy. Unfortunately for you, some of your own constituents noticed that.

You failed because your candidate was a bitter product.

Trump was a better product...

Now, swallow your pill and move on...

OTH, how could you say it was because you didn’t focus on the economy?

To hear your side, everything is fine.

Lowest job rate in history - Lie
Economy is doing swell - Lie
Longest continual job growth int he history of the country - Lie

Etc, Etc, Etc...

Pelosi is proof positive that Liberalism is a mental disease. Economy?? Does she mean the one that was run into the toilet and flushed by her cohorts?

“We didn’t focus on the train wreck we’ve made of the economy!”

So simple and so right. Yet Hillary ran on that same "middle-out" economics -never been proven to work in any state or country, but sure rates high in the poll tested phrases...
