Grieving is over - Why it's actually a great time to be a Democrat

Our future leaders are unlikely to come from the Senate anyway. Future leaders are more likely to be drawn from among the 1,000 plus office holders (many younger) most of whom are in the fly-over country.

We do absolutely need Congressional term limits. No more half-cenutry politicians.

Don’t know if I can stand all this winning that keeps coming....yes yes I can!!!

“Our future leaders are unlikely to come from the Senate anyway.”

Hopefully NONE of them will ever become leaders. My point is that as an institution, The Senate is a disgraceful place for worthless men and women to join and stay for the entirety of their adult lives while doing absolutely nothing to improve our country. The Senate has devolved into a little group of 100 people who act like the “fat freddies” that run Saudi Arabia. Perhaps if we went back to the founders vision of the Senate being a body filled by the state legislatures, it might possibly get better, but as it stands, it’s merely a roadblock to successful governance.

LOL! Good grief. DEPOPULATE d’rats from the body politic. Posts BUMP!

Your education is indoctrination into dream world socialism.
That education, your tolerance, and your youth won't help you, or us, against the sword of Islam. -Tom

We are the young, the diverse, the tolerant and the educated.
Don’t forget ‘the arrogant’.
The diverse and tolerant only apply if you agree with them.

[ConservativeDude]

I’m not sure that “dwarf” is politically correct, that is, unless we are talking about Lord of the Rings.... :)

Dear Dave,
Grow a pair.

What this dope calls optimism falls more correctly into the category of delusion. No party owns its voters, and a successful Trump administration will permit the GOP to realign the politics of the country by solidifying and expanding support from traditionally Democratic voting blocs. The GOP has both the stronger position and the political initiative. That is a tough combination to beat.

[Brilliant]

NJ, CA and IL will probably be bankrupt by the time 2020 rolls around so that list will look like a list of ne’er do wells even to Democrats but then.

[Trillian]

We are the young, the diverse, the tolerant and the educated.
LOL, they are so delusional.

[kearnyirish2]

Either way, she got a lot of votes.

[stevio]

California use to be a swing state.

[tinyowl]

I find myself past the 5th stage of grief

Evidently then their grief progression is a circle rather than a line.
