Democrats' only choice? Defend Hillary Clinton
CNN ^ | March 5, 2015 | Gloria Borger

Posted on 03/06/2015 9:23:55 AM PST by fifedom

Democrats don't actually have the luxury of standing by and seeing how this all plays out. Hillary Clinton is their candidate; their putative nominee. Over the past six years, there's been a sharp structural decline of elected Democrats everywhere below the presidential level. Sure, we all know about how the Republicans regained control of the Senate in 2014, but what about the fact that blue-state governors fell like tent poles? Or that GOP governors now outnumber the Democrats by almost two-to-one, 31 to 18. Or that Republicans have complete control of nearly three times as many state legislatures as the Democrats, 30 to 11. And down the ballot, Democrats under Obama have lost more than 900 state legislative seats: the worst showing of any modern president. That's eye-popping.

Obama was the ONE (and only ONE.) Now we are being told Hillary is the ONE (and only ONE.) There must be some reserves on the Democrat bench. And I do not mean Elizabeth (Dances with Fractions) War-Hen nor do I mean Mark O’Malley. How about Jim Webb or Harry Reid or Diane Feinstein or Barbara Boxer or Nancy Pelosi Galore or Debbie Wash-yer-mouth Schultz. Yes, most of those people would make poor candidates, but that is not my fault. The Democrats have destroyed their bench depth and have disassociated themselves from the rank-and-file mistaking the very vocal villains on the far left for rank-and-file Democrats.

Cry me us a storm.

In spite of heavy embarrassing loses democrats go on TV News shows giving conservatives free advice on how to win.

Are they nuts?

Dems pile on concern, "oh be careful - you don't want to shut down the government - you'll lose if that happens'... "Don't stand up to illegals coming across the border - they'll be voting soon..."

How many seats do we have to win before it occurs to Democrats that the golden age of liberal elites is O-VAR?

The only 'young people' in the party are paid shills... ten bucks an hour trolls - bought by George Soros.

I can see it now... Republicans control every seat in Congress except 12 - and the Presidency AND most of the Supreme Court and some Democrat will go on CNN and lecture a Republican about what the Republican should do and not do to win elections.

So "bed-wetters," beware. The truth is simple: Your job is to defend Hillary Clinton, not to bury her. Yes, it can be hard. Even annoying. But think about it this way: If you don't, her problems become your own.

LOL, here come the loyalty threats from Hillary's enforcer bitches.

Naked thuggery - what a surprise.

Potential challengers are already licking their chops. O’Malley is in, and Warren is a possibility as is Cuomo.

Who was Obama when he was nominated?

A U.S. Senator whose sole accomplishment was giving a DNC speech?

Given the extremely high black turnout was the only thing that got Obama elected (and Dems saw what a disaster midterms were) I wouldn’t count out Cory Booker. He’s young and black. Blacks would turnout.

Hillary is a terrible candidate. She can’t do an interview without a huge easy-to-disprove lie. She’s not attractive. Her voice is annoying and her laugh is worse. The more you see of her (and there’s more to see every year) the less you like her.

The NY SLIMES story was a signal that the powers that run things realize Hillary needs to go. That was a light shove for her and Bill to step aside. If they don’t get the message, look for things to get worse. There are way too many buried bodies out there (Bill’s underage girls, Hillary’s home computer loaded with top secret documents, lying about Benghazi and God knows what else, etc.) for them not to be able to put the squeeze on.

They’ll find a woman or black or Hispanic and try to sell that person as the “next Obama.”

Los hermanos Castro no hablan español. Pero, yo hago, y soy anglo.

If I dabble, at least I try to do so seriously.

Could you maybe work in a shot of her wearing the fake beer goggles? When she was ducking questions about Bengazi because her eyes were crossed from begging for money for her “foundation”.

They got that with their poisonous old hag of a mom's racist milk.

The State AG (now the new gubbernor) last year had to do a fast save of the Alamo by taking it away from the Daughters of the Texas Revolution and asserting direct, sovereignty-protected control, to keep it away from the Castros.

About 23 years ago, Mama Castro hatched a plot in the San Antonio city Council to take over the Alamo and turn it into a "museum of Hispanic civilization". That was squelched, but last year they tried again, this time going to Obama and the Department of the Interior, who sponsored the site as a UN World Heritage site, which would have meant its takeover by the Global Dictatorship Club.

The UN reportedly would be asked to turn it into, guess what, a Hispanic Civilization museum (no whitey scumbags in coonskin hats allowed, no Texas flags, hell -- no whites, ergo no racism, period!).

Democrats under Obama have lost more than 900 state legislative seats: the worst showing of any modern president.......there's a sharp structural decline of elected Democrats everywhere.....Republicans regained control of the Senate (and gained seats in the House) in 2014; blue-state governors fell like tent poles; GOP governors now outnumber Democrats almost two-to-one, 31 to 18. Republicans have complete control of nearly three times as many state legislatures as Democrats....

The treasure trove of "The Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby" and down-ticket state wins have yet to be fully- mined, but this we know:

REPUBLICANS WON STUNNING HISTORY-MAKING ELECTORAL VICTORIES

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of Democrats and liberalisms;

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> 110 Of 140 Southern States election districts went Republican.

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><> GOP now controls the MINN State House.

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D

<><> Britt Hume: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass.

<><> GOP holds every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses.

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed.

<><> "War on Women" became a ntl joke.

<><> Clinton's labeled politically useless---most candidates they flacked lost.

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> Arizona House recount race went Republican.

<><> AZ Republican McSally wins last open House seat (Dem Gaby Giffords seat),

<><> Repub McSally's win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in AZ congressional delegation,

<><> Repubs hold 247 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman admin after WWII.

<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.

<><> Republicans hold the largest House majority in 83 years.

<><> Republicans holds 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

<><> 2015 Republican grip on state government has not been seen since the 1920s.

<><> Republicans hold or share control in nearly every state (7 states' legislature and Governor are Dem-held).

<><> 12 states, including Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, NC will push income tax cuts and fiscal reform.

<><> Illinois’ new Repub Governor’s top priority is reforming its nearly-bankrupt public pension system.

<><> Vermont Democrats allied w/ VT conservative Repubs to ward off voter backlash

<><> controversial and seemingly incompetent VT Democrat governor did not get the requisite votes to stay in office.

<><> VT poised to install Vermont's first Republican governor in over four years

<><> Republicans now control two-thirds of the state legislatures.

And with all that, Obama continues shredding the Constitution and fundamentally transforming this nation into the dreams of his fathers, Alinski and Soros.

RINOs are worse than Democrats. They will snatched defeat from the jaws of each victory. The GOP is dead if the elites stay in control. Unfortunately, so is this once great country.

The federal government can be summed up in one phrase: treason abetted by traitors...
