Not really; Romney was a terrible candidate, a Democrat in everything other than the (R), and McCain pulled for the bailout.
IOW, the stuff the Republican party has been offering has been very much along the same lines as the Democrats; they either have no vision or share the Democrat's.
Yup. Romney wasn’t running as a conservative.
He never really laid a glove on Obama.
When I saw that during the presidential debates, I should have known the election was lost.
Except Maine! Nyuck nyuck nyuck.
“I think in the long term, the Democrats will have a White Flight problem. Whites are leaving the Democrat party in the South, and this will spread across the US. Democrats have long promoted diversity and Affirmative Action. This identity politics has made the White middle class Democrats feel unwelcome.”
Very true. Whites are now a BLOCK VOTE, 75/25 (at least) in the South, and there A LOT of us. Hispanics are splitting their votes almost 50/50, at least outside of California and the Northeast.
The Dems are left with the black vote (90/10), fighting to get just a majority of the Hispanic vote, and being annihilated by the white vote in the South. It’s over for them in the South, and if the whites firm-up as a block vote elsewhere, we’re looking at Reagan-style blowouts in the future.
Exactly right....plus, the “white guilt” coalition wont pay attention anymore.
Unfortunately the Democrat Party isn’t hollowed out far enough. A lot more work needs to be done.
Clinton and Truman were also reelected after getting their @sses badly kicked in the preceding midterm.
It’s not enough. Those rat swine should have less than a third of Congress, and less than a 4th of legislatures.
We’d be pretty close to 2/3 in the Senate if not for every bungled and stolen race.
Reagan was half-way through his second term by the time he was 76.
Bill Clinton’s talking member, the old neo-socialist hag will revive the party. Run Hillaryous, run. (Although there’s talk about about a middle-aged, neo-socialist, Franken running. Put Feinstein as veep and the Frankenstein ticket can’t be beat especially that soon after Halloween in 2016)
What's that old saying? A liberal's a liberal until it gets mugged?
Obamas been mugging the hell out of everybody and democrats finally noticed they were bleeding like everyone else.
Kind of a hollow victory,since the punk POTUS has decided to leglislate via EO, and had decided to break his oath of office to uphold the constitution.
Theres a truth in your statement that you may not have even realized.Obama wants his legacy to be exclusively for the Democratic party. I don’t think thats been discussed in the numerous article about his legacy in the post election period.
Yes!
He kicks 'em where it really hurts and gets away with it.
Bttt
You are an astute observer, my friend. Scott Walker is the one and only landslide-electable Repub candidate for pres in 2016. He da man!
You are two astute observers. Walker walks the walk.
Totally agree on Scott Walker.
Policy experimentation?
Yeah, when one experiment fails, you Rats try something even worse. Then when that one fails...
Cuomo Says Obamas Woes Hurt Democrats in New York Races
BUT IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE MIDTERM DEM BLOODBATH, HOUSE DEM CHAIR STEVE ISRAEL QUIT---AND SLAPPED-DOWN CUOMO... Israel suggested, Cuomo could have done more to help Democrats running in New York.
We had conversations several months ago with the governors staff about helping to organize and coordinate a campaign and I didnt see the fruition to those conversations, Israel told The New York Times.
===============================================
It was instructive that abortion-worshipper Cuomo was given virtually no airtime on NY broadcast TV. One brief shot showed his live-in---Braless Chef Sandra---hanging over his shoulder, straining to gain attention for herself.
Heh---history repeats itself---that's what broke up his marriage to a Kennedy---not showing enough deference to His Majesty.
