Democrats are tired of losing and the accusations are flying.
After going all in and coming up short in Georgia's special election Tuesday, Democratic lawmakers and political operatives are venting their frustration at losing every competitive special congressional election so far this year.
Many were upset that Democrat Jon Ossoff blunted what was arguably his greatest asset — antipathy toward President Donald Trump — by going relatively easy on the president and avoiding controversy at all cost. Others, however, countered that Ossoff was a fine candidate who was the victim of a party that is too cautious and has lost its ability to connect with voters.
“One important lesson is that when they go low, going high doesn't f**king work,” tweeted Neera Tanden, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress think tank, referring to Michelle Obama's maxim from the 2016 campaign.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee quickly sought to move past the Georgia debacle by distributing a memo to staff and Democratic lawmakers officially declaring — for the first time — that Chairman Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) believes "the House is in play."
"I don’t make this statement lightly — I’ve never said it before," Luján said. "This is about much more than one race: the national environment, unprecedented grassroots energy and impressive Democratic candidates stepping up to run deep into the battlefield leave no doubt that Democrats can take back the House next fall."
And former Obama White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer warned Democrats to avoid yet another round of self-flagellating recriminations.

On the plus side 40mil bought a lot of abortions that won’t get done.
I pray the winning continues.
Schadenfreude! Democrat morons make Trump look good.
No wonder they’re angry and are climbing the walls.
How many elections can they lose?
And hand grenades. Don't forget about hand grenades.
Basically, the Democrats think they can yell and curse their way back to the majority.
How would she know? I haven't seen Dems 'going high' since like ever! All they do is 'go low'....................
When have democrats ever taken the high road!?!
Close is good in nuclear warfare also.
Basically, the Democrats think they can yell and curse their way back to the majority.............
Not to repeat myself but:
Being pro-American seems out of the question for the Democrat Party.
Doesn’t mean they can never win. Only that they have to keep refining their suite of frauds, canards, and dirty tricks.
I’m sure many of them toke up before they get out of bed in the afternoon.
Maybe it’s time for Democrat voters to leave the Democrat party and become Americans.
GO DIMS!! Keep it up.
I am sure, The Russians had something to do with the Republicans winning. I bet you The Russians were so mad that Bush intervened with the Russians in Georgia, that The Russians saw this election in Georgia as revenge. That’s my theory, and I am sticking to it. ; )
What indication is there that Dems are tired of losing?
Have they changed their message? Or maybe found one?
Have they moderated their rabid hatred of anyone who disagrees with them?
Have they suddenly acquired a modicum of common sense?
What about their sense of history and how their policies have produced endless misery if not mass death in example after example?
It’s like a dog returning to eat its own vomit and I see no reason to disabuse them.
Lujon said “Democrats can take back the House next fall”.
This is the superstar who is 0 for 5 this year.
Hey—he participated. Let’s give him a trophy anyway. :-)
LOL!
