HuffPo Editor: With The Democrats In Ruins, You Have To Ask Whether Obama Was Good For The Party

Even The Huffington Post cannot let the down-ballot gutting of the Democrats go unnoticed. Senior politics editor Sam Stein was on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Wednesday, where he said that while Obama was re-elected twice proving himself to be an excellent candidate—his party has suffered catastrophic losses during his presidency. In all, the Democrats have lost 1,030 seats at the state and federal level, a wipeout of at least a generation of Democratic talent. Stein added that with such a political butcher’s bill, you have to ask whether this man was good for Democrats (via The Hill):

Reminds of Time cover "Is Rush Limbaugh Good for America"

Obama bad for Democrats, but they will learn nothing. Place the blame everywhere else.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Barack Obama was good for Barack Obama. What else do you want?

Democrats could have survived Obama, had they not gone all in..and I mean ALL IN, protecting him at all costs and calling anybody and everything that disagreed with Obama in even the slightest way a Racist, Sexist, Misogynistic, Homophobe, Xenophobe, Phobaphobe.

[EQAndyBuzz]

What I find hysterical about all of this is now they are blaming Obama for their losses. I really hate to tell the media this but, “in 2007, we told you Obama was a POS and you refused to listen.”

This is the MSM’s fault. They destroyed the Democrat party by supporting candidates and writing stories which went against the fabric of American exceptionalism. They chose a path of picking failed candidates who supported a failed ideology and regressive policies than presenting true progressives who would still have lost, but at least given the party some room to select better candidates.

Obama was bad for the RAT Party (which is good) and bad for the country (which is bad).

[ronnie raygun]

wa wa wa what! the rats going after the poor black man, now thats racist

[JudyinCanada]

Obama was GREAT for the party.....the Republican party! His greatest achievement was the change in climate that cause the rise and election of Donald Trump! It’s the only real climate change that mattered!

Keep Obama, dems. Make him your leader, your mascot, your go-to guy. His record is irrelevant.....continue to bow down to him.

[KyCats]

Dems need to follow-up the Obama debacle by choosing Ellison as new party leader. That should pretty much eliminate the party at the grass roots level in most states.

[Robert DeLong]

What they need to be asking is has the Democrat Party been good for America. the answer is a resounding no.

[LydiaLong]

Is this the same HuffPo that licked Obama’s feet for 8 years and panted breathlessly how wonderful he was?

[lurk]

Dems will be back. Fighting dirty.

[Savage Beast]

You morons should have asked that question 8 years ago.

[Cowboy Bob]

Ha! The Democrats screwed themselves with Obama.

They thought with Obama, they thought they were invincible. No one dare oppose Obama out of fear of being branded a “racist.”

But now, with Obama self destructing and dragging the party down with him, they dare not criticize him out of fear of being labeled “racist.”

I'm enjoying it!

[SkyDancer]

With all politicians it’s always what’s good for the Party and not what’s good for America.

[Leaning Right]

So Huffington Post senior editor Sam Stein is criticizing Obama. According to liberal dogma, anyone who criticizes Obama is either a racist, or a Russian plant, or both. I’m guessing it’s both.

But wait...maybe Stein is criticizing Obama because he, Stein, secretly hates Michelle. I’ll bet that’s it. So Stein is a racist, AND a Russian plant, AND a sexist.

If anyone wants to launch a Social Justice Warrior campaign against Stein, and the Huffington Post, I’m in. Power to the People!

They wanted the symbol and thought it would be good for them.

They had to take the actual man with it, and he wasn't.

“Dems need to follow-up the Obama debacle by choosing Ellison as new party leader. That should pretty much eliminate the party at the grass roots level in most states.”

And Trump needs to “follow up” on the GOPe to make sure that they are unable to derail his reforms. In two years we have an opportunity to make the Senate fillibuster-proof with 25 RATs and only 8 RINOs up for re-election. Hopefully, by replacing RATS and most of the RINOs too, we can finally get a Senate that does it's job instead of sitting around playing with their privates.

With The Democrats In Ruins
Best. Election. Ever.

[peeps36]

I think it shows that he only won because of voter fraud. How could he get reelected when he caused so many fellow democrats to lose their seats? People voted against democrats because of obama.
