President Obama on Sunday refused to blame Hillary Clinton for the Democrats' failure to win the White House or take back the House or Senate, and instead said improved messaging and better luck will help Democrats in future years.

Aside from messaging, Obama said another reason Democrats didn't do well is the "nature of our system." While some Democrats have called for an end to the Electoral College, Obama didn't go that far, and instead indicated he was talking about how Republicans have a natural advantage in the Senate.
"As long as Wyoming gets the same number of senators as California, there's going to be some tilt towards Republicans when it comes to congressional races," he said.

We should repeal the 17th and the Senate would look and operate a lot differently.
More like what the founders intended.
The Democrats would have half the number of Senators that they have now.
Memo to Obama: The dogs didn’t like it.
Well, guess what dude....with your feet up on the desk.....WE WON!!
He must be a vampire as he has zero reflection
I guess the world famous Constitutiona Law professor is not aware that the Constitution specifically and without question makes the makeup of the Senate, two from each state, permanent and unalterable by the amendment process. Of course our Progressive countrymen are long known for their preference for govt by plebisite, i.e. rule of the mob.
It’s those danged white people in Wyoming! Yup! That’s it. They should only get 3/5ths of a vote or something...
“improved messaging” = “We need to dumb down our enlightened message even further so that even these numbskull voters can grasp it.”
Arrogant Aloof and Unprepared
This National nightmare is almost over
Liberty’s alarm clock rings January 20, 2017
The absolute ignorance of this community organizer is just astounding. He is a typical leftist despot — and like them he wants change the “rules” to benefit his party in the future. Just look at what Leftist California has done.
Obama blames messaging, bad luck, 'our system'... anything but himself.
It's not the messaging- it's the message that people reject.
I live IN CA. this state has been LOST forever due to illegal immigration, the ILLEGAL immigrants are voting and NOTHING is done about it EVERYONE who lives here feels like they are living in Mexico!!!
He blamed Republicans for gerrymandering. Has nothing to do with his failed policies.
Classless and clueless to the very end
With record numbers of elected republicans across the nation (66 of 99 legislatures to be exact), Obamas approval numbers do not compute.
I read fear of saying disapprove or more fake polls.
The more clueless they stay the more we can reset the damage they have done.
Selling BS as providing for future growth.
