nobody destroyed down-ballot like Zero, yet they stuck with him through two terms.
. . . but in fairness, Obama only had one loss - the House in ’10 - before his reelect. And he did win in ’12. And the Democrat loss of the Senate - to the surprise, evidently, of "Reid Rule Harry" - wasn’t until ’14.
in this China Virus quasi-national-quarantine situation, ALL “down ballot” positions favor incumbents. And the longer it goes, the more incumbents will be safe. In most of these cases (House, lots of the state seats in blue states) , the DemoKKKrats would be the beneficiaries, even in a Trump landslide.
Interesting. You don’t think the Republicans can wrap Muellergate and Impeachmentgate - obviously doing nothing to support Mr. Trump’s agenda and everything to subvert it - around the Democrats’ necks?

Anything the Democrats try to criticize Trump for failing to do to prepare for the Chicom Virus ™ can be answered with, “Other than obstruction, what were the Democrats doing at that time???"

See you’re talking issues. I’m talking structure. It is simply a matter of fact that you can’t beat something with nuthin’, and so long as opponent candidates of either party are locked up, it’s incredibly hard to beat the “something” in office.

The election window has been sliced from nine months to six at best. The further a candidate has to climb, the worse that short window becomes.
