Democrats notice they’ve abandoned much of the country, painted themselves into a bi-coastal corner

Bi-coastal, or bipolar? Incapable of understanding that their problems lie not with the voters, but with their own unalterable, unpopular, and unworkable goals.

If you watched any news over the holiday weekend (personally I try to avoid as much of it as possible) you no doubt saw Barack and Michelle Obama’s final “Christmas Greeting” video. I put “Christmas Greeting” in quotes, because that’s not really what it was. Like most of what Obama does, it was less about the big picture and more about selling the notion of his own greatness.

Just look at this passage, where he outlines his many achievements:

Another definition for “bipolar”.

The good news for the rest of us is that almost two months after the election, the Progs don’t know what hit them!

The DemocRats are the party of liberal cities. Hillary won barely 450 counties while Trump won over 3100.

It isn’t Coastal - it is Urban.
The Democrats own Urban America.
The bad news is that it gives them a plurality in total people.
The good news is that this majority is in states like NY and CA that are already heavily Democrat and don’t give them any more electoral votes.

And IIRC, Obama had pledged to get people to move back to the cities and wanted to get trains going again. Just like in Europe. Really glad he failed at that!

BUT, they’re spreading out to other states like Oregon and Washington. Both states are run by Portland and Seattle.

The DemocRats are the party of liberal cities.

And, for the umpteenth time, I thump the tub for awarding Electoral Votes by Congressional Districts. That breaks the ability of the Metro areas to deliver the State's entire EV. Under the EVs by CD, the city and it's suburbs would only have one vote each, giving the rural areas a voice. As it stands now, they might as well stay home. Look at California or any other state where large Democratic Metro areas routinely override rural Conservative areas.

Shrillary got the popular vote, so MORE folks voted for her than for President-elect Trump.
What does that say for American voters? Nothing good.

Don’t get to smug. Hillary still won the popular vote. And our cheap labor loving country club establishment is helping the ‘crats bring in more Democrats from abroad and they will still demand that we give them lower taxes instead of controlling the border.

“The greatest gift that Michelle and I have received over the last eight years has been the honor of serving as your president and first lady. Together, we fought our way back from the worst recession in 80 years, and got unemployment to a nine-year low. "

Gee, I was expecting him to continue in this manner, it wouldn't seem out of place

Obviously Obama took no statistics courses in his educational odyssey as a "foreign student".

There is one Democrat who is ethical, intelligent and would make a good President (considering he’s a Democrat). Pat Caddell. He has an excellent speech up on YouTube that he delivered at Hillsdale College about the state of the Democratic Party, and he nails it.

Well worth watching.
