Democrats blame losses on lack of narrative, white votes
Washington Examiner ^ | February 21, 2015 | Brian Hughes

The Democratic National Committee Saturday released a report blaming the lack of a central narrative and waning support from Southern, white voters for "devastating" losses in midterm elections and at the state level.

“It is strongly believed that the Democratic Party is loosely understood as a long list of policy statements and not as people with a common set of core values (fairness, equality, opportunity),” said the long-awaited DNC autopsy of what went wrong for the party in 2010 and 2014.

Democrats, most recently President Obama, suggested that Americans side with liberals on most issues — they just say the party has done a bad job selling their ideas.

In the last six years, we democrats have lost control of 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, 910 state legislative seats, 30 state legislative chambers and 11 gubernatorial posts because we didn't have enough catch phrases and hashtags ... and because, for some mysterious reason, stupid bigoted white voters have left in droves.

Rather then waste their time trying to win some black votes, the Republicans should focus their attention on increasing their share of the white vote.

If the Republians were to capture 70% of the white vote, the Democrat party would be relegated to the history books.

Could it be that the Obama era has shown people what happens when you put liberals in charge of our government??? And they don’t like what they see when Democrats are running things??? Isn’t that just possible??

Not lack of narrative, lack of honesty, morality, intelligence, believability, etc, etc.

Democratic Party, for when you absolutely, positively have NOTHING to add to the human experience.

Well there will always be a core group of white liberals, especially the bicoastal liberals, who will be Democrat voters.

The Democrats have an image of being the party of homosexuals, illegal aliens, enviro extremists, race baiting apologists, etc. Every crazy liberal policy idea is embraced by Democrats. The Democrats whether they know it or not, are perceived by many in middle America as a steady parade of kooks and crackpots. The lunatc fringe finds their political home in the Democrat party. This turns off huge numbers of middle Americans.

"... we democrats have lost control of 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, ..."

It doesn't make any difference if Democrats become the minority in Congress as long they a pResident who just writes and enforces his own "executive orders and selectively chooses to enforce or ignore any laws he chooses. And having a helpful Republican Speaker and Senate majority leader doesn't hurt either.

The Democrats have discovered that the old set of lies isn’t working anymore. What they need, desperately, is a new set of lies. After all, it takes time for people to figure out that they are being lied to, especially if you have a smooth talking pathological liar like Barack Obama to keep the stupid fooled.

While they are worried that the old blue collar base of the party are leaving in droves, they have a plan: more lies, more free stuff, and import enough illegal immigrants to make up for the lost voters. Watch what happens at the polling places and with absentee ballots in 2016. A major objective of the new set of lies will be to divert attention from their main effort, voter fraud.

Yeah well, we have lost trillions of dollars squandered on payoffs to Obama supporters, lost complete control over our government employees and the courts, lost the respect of the rest of the world. Not to mention unemployment, immigration, health care, race relations, religious rights, gun rights, states rights, etc.

Could it have something to do with the current occupants of the Get Whitey House?

Yep, and those black voters most of them will gravitate to the Republicans when Republicans put forth a clear, contrasting agenda promoting freedom and opportunity.

A good strategy to be sure.

Actually Republicans need not lift a finger b/c Democrats are doing an excellent job relegating themselves.

Dumbos self-absorbtion is proving to be their death knell. They stupidly put out as spox Pelosi Reid and Michelle...which made voters run headlong away from them.

Marie Harf, Jonathan Gruber...Obama himself bashing Chrisitans.....are finishing off the Dems.

“Well there will always be a core group of white liberals, especially the bicoastal liberals, who will be Democrat voters.”

Do you think so? What about after they are attacked by roving mobs of blacks and Latinos out to punish whites for their lack of success? The demonrat party taught them to hate whites, now they will reap their reward for that.

Where do these roving black/Latino mobs all live? The exact same place white liberals live...big cities!

Even white liberals will wise up once they get their teeth kicked out by their most loyal voter base!

I predict the cities will turn into a war zone before the 2016 elections, and liberals will take a really bad hit for what they created.
