The Democrats extensive losses in the 2010 and 2014 midterms (as well as other off-year elections in 2009, 2011, 2015 and the Governors races in 2012) have left their party hollowed out beneath the White House, which is one reason why the top two contenders in their presidential primary are a 68-year-old who arrived in Washington in 1993, and a 74-year-old who has never held a leadership position in Congress. But beyond the sheer numbers of losses in the Senate, House, Governorships, and state legislatures, there is also the fact that the GOP is building a strong, deep farm team while the Democrats are aging and not replacing their leaders with much in the way of new blood.

There is a deficit of Democrat candidates near Obama's age, who was the youngest one of recent memory, born in 1961.
There are practically no Democrats of note who were born in the early 1970s. Why? Well, what happened around then that could have stopped that from happening?
Simple. Roe vs. Wade.
We warned Democrats about the Roe Effect, telling them they may be aborting the next Rembrandt, the next Mozart, the next Einstein, the next doctor who could cure cancer.
Little did we or they know that they were probably aborting the next statesmen who could save their political party.
You forgot they are also talentless, without morals, and sleezy.
Simply means that party is ripe for a takeover by raging young Communist radicals. Be very afraid.
Wasn’t RedState one of the most virulent #NeverTrump websites? I think I am now #NeverRedState.
The democrats simply don’t care about being best. Only “first.” They have also displayed pure contempt for all things non democrat and their supporters are so single issue focused they can never build broad support. If obama weren’t half white he would have never gone further than Hank Johnson.
Also the few national level people they may have left all claim victim status. And even then, their two latest victim-candidates are out of the Prez picture - Obama (Raaaacism!) & Clinton (War on Wymynses!).
Yep!
Sanders and Warren seem to have inherited the party by default, but there is a younger generation in the House.
The ones to watch for now are Tulsi Gabbard, Keith Ellison, Xavier Becerra, Donna Edwards, Hakeem Jeffries, and Ruben Gallego. There’s more too of course, but these are short-list of youngish, extreme leftists, whom we should be opposing at every turn.
Add Corey Booker.
An example of why they have this problem: Teddy Kennedy. After being diagnosed with incurable brain cancer, did he step down to make room for a successor to carry out his ideals? No, he literally died in office. This is the kind of people leftists are: selfish, power-mad, delusional.
If trump cleans up immigration and cleans up voter fraud 2020 is a slam dunk.
Yep, as a matter of fact, let’s keep adding if anybody can think of some, and include Sens. and Govs, if any. We need to know who to watch for.
I’d like to see every one of these challenged in their district.
Their re-education camps worked well. They raised an entire generation of liberals that can follow without question but have no ability to lead.
Under Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats.
Does anyone have data for the new total losses following this election?!
She will repeat the pattern of her husband and shillary.
She will run for Senate and then the Presidency.
She will will the Senate race easily and will have a very good shot at the presidency...especially if she is the first AAW to run.
And you thought voter turnout for junior was high.
Corrupt doesn’t like to share. The younger ones will have to wait for the leadership to all die of old age.
Add Corey Booker.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
I think when he was Mayor he sort of ‘backed’ Bill Cosbys take on what is ‘wrong’ with the American-Africans.
Green’’ you mention Donna Edwards
Is that the same Donna Edwards from MD?
Think she rankled some feathers when when she sort of said WTF when the MD & National Dems ‘picked’ VanHollen(??) over her.
You know those guys are just supposed to sit there and eat the scraps that are thrown to them...
The D party shiites on them continuously and they still go after the likes of C Thomas, T Sowell, W Williams, B Carson, LTCOL Green etc...
If todays AA are looking for direction they may start with any of the handful I just posted....
That’s been the case for a while. The biggest difference this time was the emails. The emails verified what we have known for a while. The media was protecting the Democrats and lying to us. It also showed us the brazen behavior of the Dems. They never thought they would get caught and lying to us was just SOP.
13% of black men voted for Trump as did 33% of Latino men. That could have provided the unanticipated swing in key states. They didn’t want to vote for the old white bitter woman.
Yet the GOP is only able to muster up 51-53 seats in the Senate.
Let's not kid ourselves either. A lot of former Ds just changed the letter after their name. I see it a lot here in GA.
Now let's look at the big picture.
We've made no inroads in the upper NE part of the country.
Formerly reliable Virginia, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico have turned regular Blue.
North Carolina is now a battleground state.
GA was a lot closer than estimated.
Trump won the Brexit states not because more voters turned out for him, but fewer voters turned out for Shillary.
As the demographics in this country change the GOP needs to be adopting its message. I'm not sure what it is or should be.
This notion that the democrat party is toast is ludicrous.
Look out for Kamala Harris of California.
This woman is being groomed for the presidency the same way that Obama was. She will run for POTUS in 2020 and most likely win the rat nomination. She is a Marxist, just like the nut job Attorney General from Pennsylvania, Kathleen Kane.
When your scapegoat for many years has been white heterosexual Christian males, particularly males raised by married couples, why would you expect any alpha white males on your bench?
I am not sure black males that meet these criteria are necessarily welcome in their party either.
