That’s what they said about PUMAs in 2008. That’s why McCain won.

We dismantle the GOPe. Dems can dismantle the DNC. It’s all good.

While all of those losses were occurring for democrats, nobody dared say a word, for the country was undergoing the joys of the first Black President, and negative commentary would be racist.

He will be replaced by the first Woman President.

Difference I see between now and the last Rat POTUS, is Bill Clinton would try to moderate when voters got upset. Obama goes further left, no matter the consequences.

Surely Hillary’s voice will turn off enough people. But, then again, it would have to turn off enough people to over come the vote fraud that the gopE assists.

I dislike articles like these because they encourage an underestimation and fosters comfortability.

Yep. All those Republican gains have been for naught. How many have been co-opted by the corrupt GOPe or simply went along with the status quo?

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing.

Then again, if the GOPe steals the nomination from Trump and DNC does the same with Bernie, what happens next? Do people the both sides of the aisle protest by not voting, or do they vote for what they perceive to be the lesser of two evils?

In other words, does everybody hold their nose and vote for Hillary, Yeb!, Mitt, or whomever the logical elites offer as candidates, or do we all stay home on election day?

This nation needs an enema. I suggest we start with the elites and bureaucrats in D.C. Long past time for the Tree of Liberty to be watered with the blood of tyrants.

Just saying.

I agree in part with this article. It will be the Sanders supporters who will turn the tide one way or another on Hillary.

“Americans have made it abundantly clear this election cycle that the status quo is no longer acceptable.”

I am telling you right now, if Hillary gets the nomination, the Sanders supporters will revolt in large enough numbers to throw the election to Donald Trump if Trump is the nominee. Because enough Sanders supporters will either stay home, and a few will even vote Trump.

That is why Trump wins.

But if Hillary wins the nomination and Cruz wins the nomination for the Republicans, the Sanders voters are so revolted by Cruz, who will already be facing an uphill battle with most Americans as being seen more as a religious campaign than a political campaign, the Sanders supporters will vote for Hillary and Cruz will lose the election.

If Rubio gets the nomination, the Sanders supporters will not vote for Hillary and not care if Rubio wins, but that is a mute point since Rubio will not get the nomination.

So the defeat of Hillary isn’t as much about what the Republican base wants, the majority supporting Trump, but rather the defeat of Hillary is in the hands of the Sanders supporters.

Trump will defeat Hillary, but not Cruz.

Sanders is a patsy in this election. Nobody else wanted to take on the anointed Hillary and her cash and FBI files. Bernie was a logical choice to make a coronation campaign appear competitive. The DNC didn’t foresee the number of hardcore communists in their party, and Bernie’s ability to connect with these parasites.

If the Bernie faithful figure out they have been played like fools, there will be a revolt. Hillary is counting on them to be too stupid to figure this out, which is likely the case.

Except if Hillary names Sanders as her VP.

In fact, O may have reserved the right to do so as a term of his agreement to pardon her after the election.

In that event, even if many of the pi$$ed-off R voters showed up at the polls the D's could easily have the popular vote.

...Sanders' emergence as a viable contender for the Democratic nomination. As former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich recently wrote, these candidates are a symptom of rebellion, not the cause of it...
Nope. Sanders, and his supporters, and the Eighth Dwarf there and the idiots who share his ridiculous ignorance on Facebook, are Party-First, Nation-Last straight-ticket single-party-state a-holes. They may say, 'we'd take Trump before Clinton', but they will never bring themselves to cast a vote next to the "R" on the ballot line.

This just looks so good in print I have to repeat it...with my corrections...

Since 2009, the Democratic Party has lost 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats, over 900 state legislative seats and 12 governorships. Although most presidents' political parties suffer losses in Congress, Republican America's gains under Barack Obama's administration have been unprecedented.

Any time a democrat is defeated/replaced America gains. Now, if we just get the GOPe out of the way, we could really see some improvement!

If democrats don't toss the DEMe soon there won't be enough of them left to 'be' a party.
