yes that was it!
nevermind your failed policies
Their message “struggles for clarity” because they couldn’t tell the truth and still get elected.
It was the normal cycle of the mushy middle. Party of the sitting president gets handed their butts in the second midterm unless the other party completely blows it (1998).
How many people, beside Dingy Harry, even know who the Koch brother are, or can care less?

“Their message “struggles for clarity” because they couldn’t tell the truth and still get elected.”
It’s the “cognitive dissonance” between the obvious economic malaise, general decline is the standards of...well, virtually everything...the jihadist attacks,and the shooting of violent crooks causing race riots, which everyone can see and hear with their own eyes and ears, and the administration’s sunny economic numbers, raced-based investigations, and policing of “extremist workplace violence”.
The Dems make sooo much noise about the Koch Brothers and the money they donate to GOP candidates.
I wonder when they’ll show the same concern about labor unions and trial lawyers and the large amount of money they funnel to Dem candidates?
Crickets...I’m hearing crickets...
They did plow an awful lot of time, effort and money into attacking a couple of guys who are totally anonymous to the vast majority of Americans.
I thought it was “Bush’s Fault”
Exactly.
And it’s too bad that that too many Americans have been so indoctrinated that they choose to believe what they’re told rather than their lyin’ eyes.
We all get checks from them. It's awesome!
why the democrats lost both houses and will likely lose the WH in 2016 is because their policies have succeeded as intended
Oh YES, rats, keep on believing that...
Well, it’s Friday, and I still haven’t seen any joe 6-pack polling whether they approve Abbott’s and Hansen’s case and ruling, so I guess the news must be horrific for the RATS.
I swear, Democrats are simply incapable of honest self examination. Yet again, they prove that they don’t have the capacity to inspect a failing area and determine the cause through analysis of real world facts.
If they actually surveyed the American public, they’d find that they lost the last election because the public hates, and is horrified, by their destructive policies, agenda, and actions in government.
But that would make too much sense.
Much better to dream up some cockamamie theory, then invest all of their problem solving into fixing something that has no relationship to their failures.
Let us hope they continue.
I don’t know about that. Their message was pretty clear to me.
We Democrats hate America,
think blacks can’t tie their own shoes without government assistance,
think Americans are stupid enough to believe man made global warming is the most threatening issue in the world,
think any criticism of Obama or his administration is all racially motivated,
think that income redistribution is the answer to income disparity,
think that wind and solar power can replace coal fired power plants
and that everyone should just do what we tell them because you all didn’t go to Harvard like we did.
They’re right. In Iowa, Joni Ernst was attacked as a Koch brothers stooge, which was only a bell for Pavlov’s Democrats. No one else cared. Some of the Democrat stooges even mistook Koch Brothers Office Supply in Des Moines for the billionaires and phoned in death threats.
Thats just it, it’s incredibly hard to make an election revolve around a specific individual (or, in this case, brothers) other than the President.
The Dems should have learned this lesson with their 1990s attempts to focus on Newt Gingrich, or going after Rove 10 years or so ago. The GOP certainly DID by not focusing on Pelosi or Reid or Soros. Once you move beyond the President, no one really cares to know (let alone vote on) who the players in the political sausage factory are.
The only way a bogeyman like the Koch’s help is in sucking donations out of the already well-motivated side of the base. Thats really about it.
The same applies to issues. The Dems lost a CO Senate seat by trying to make the election all about the tired old War on Women meme. With the result that even supporters were deriding their incumbent as “Senator Uteris”
