Reeling from its midterm losses last year, the Democratic National Committee is planning a multiyear strategy to recapture Democratic seats downballot by reworking its messaging, easing ballot-access restrictions in several states and by playing an active role in redistricting.<>

During the Obama administration, the Democrats have lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats and 910 state legislative seats. A Gallup poll measuring trends in party affiliation since 2004 found 29 percent of Americans identified as Democrats in October, compared to 38 percent in March 2009 after Mr. Obama first took office.

Members of the DNC group that put together the report, dubbed the Democratic Victory Task Force, deflected any criticism of the president’s policy or agenda as the reason for the losses, placing an emphasis on voter turnout instead.

As bad as things are in this country in general, the democratic party is self-imploding, which is a good thing.

I hope the 'rats party's support of their precious Syrian 'refugees' will be their final downfall.

Americans don't want much, we mainly want to feel safe.

Even the low-info, 'rat voters aren't happy.

If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

Same for donkeys.

They should replace the donkey symbol with a llama, to endear them to Hispanics.

If 'truth in advertising' rules applied, their symbol would be a close up of the East end of a donkeym walking West.

"by reworking its messaging, easing ballot-access restrictions in several states and by playing an active role in redistricting."

Great, that's 3 things that have nothing to do with ideas or leadership. Since that's also all the RINO's are interested in now, it's no wonder we're where we're at.

How about the GCT Party? Graft, Corruption, and Treason.

At least it would be truth in advertising.

...

At the federal level the Uniparty rules so those losses made no difference.

In fairness, I am no longer a Republican either. I would like to see the numbers of registered pubbies also. It is certain I align with republicans on some things, but I find myself truly a Constitutionalist.
