“The Democratic Party left me...”
By all means, the DNC needs to be as ideologically pure as still being Muslim Brotherhood friendly can still be. It is a winning strategy for them and I’m shaking in my boots that they’ve hit on the idea.
There is no room for southern white males in the democrat party. They tried a white male carpetbagger that didn’t even live in the district, but that didn’t work out for them either.
My Father and Grandfather were “yellow dog democrats”. I had never heard the phrase “blue dog democrats” until maybe 10 years ago. Now it seems to be the preferred one.
Jimmy Carter did the impossible. He got my Father to vote for a republican. He voted for Reagan and never looked back.
I agree! Keep the Identity politics and love for Islam going Dems!
There are no blue dog dems. They are extinct. ComDems ended them.
I think the opposite.
If the GOP doesn’t stop wasting its time on a counterproductive effort on healthcare, and start actually doing the things Trump was elected by Americans for, he is going to squander his edict, and leave a severely damaged GOP which will once again begin it’s downward slope of globalism, which had been completely destroying it for years.
Just my opinion.
The Blue Dog Coalition was formed in 1995

2016 Election
Brad Ashford (NE-2) - Defeated
Gwen Graham (FL-2) - Retired
Loretta Sanchez (CA-46) - Ran for Senate & was defeated
Heath Shuler retired after 3 terms. Not defeated.
Idiot author. Dems are looking for huge pickup in numbers for 2018?
How fookin stewpet are you?
Here are some real math numbers, yuh retard.
So, my response:
1st. 2018 is not going to end well for them. They have 25 seats up, with 11 vulnerable. Compare that to the Republicans who have only seats up with merely 2 vulnerable.
Let’s just say losing 30% cor the Dems would be a friggin disaster but, not as bad as 2020....more later.
2nd. SCOTUS...3 more turns at bat over the next 8 years.
3rd. Federal Judges. Over the next 7.5 years we will realign more than 1/2 or more than 700 Federal Judges and may even break up pesky courts like the 9th.
Hell, we could replace a few annoying judges in Hawaii.
4th. The Wall.
5th. Obamacare will be repealed.
6th. Lower Capital gains tax and offer enticing tax advantages to repatriate some of the $3 Trillion offshore and put that capital to work investing in factories and new business ideas.
This will invigorate the economy.
7th. 2020. Dems have 11 Senate seats up, compared to 22 for Republicans.
We probably have a net gain of 3 for the Senate.
All 435 seats in Congress are up but, if we can get the issues of healthcare coverage, The economy and the wall in progress as well at least SCOTUS we will probably have an increase in the house as well(I am still studying that batlefield and don’t have numbers yet)
So why all the fighting from the Dems and these charges which are no more than vapor?
Well, their product sucks. Its a stew of hate, Socialism/Marxist utopian ideals and more segregation of society by invented classes of aggrieved people.
But, the real kicker is this about Reapportionment. Can you say Entropy?
8. Yeah that’s right. With more wins under the belt of the Republicans we will have a larger swath of land to carve up because the census will take place, which the predicate for redistricting and guess who wins that fight no matter what?
Republicans and we get an increase in key states we will continue to win. Alabama, Georgia and Florida will gain 1 more representative in the house, who will likely be a Republican
However, Texas will gain 3 or 4 representatives locking up the south for Republicans over the next decade.
So, in 2020 we will gain further majorities in the house and senate, redistrict in our favor, we will be in the middle of an economy that out performs all other nations, 2 SCOTUS or more will be seated in our favor, 300-400 Federal judges are seated Obamacare/Check, Tax Policy/Check, The Wall/Check, Fair Trade/Check, ISIS Dead/Check, Russia petitions for statehood (jus kee dean), Trump Re-elected / Yuge Check.
And the dems wander the wilderness for 10 years because they stand zero chance of doing anything significant after 2020.
And the DNC is not only running an insane $3.5 million dollars in debt but, their fundraising is at the lowest in 14 years.
And they have no candidate for 2020 as yet but, their current financial or intellectual leadership.
Oh, and that Trump meme “ He’s going to step down!” Uhmmm...Boo Chit.
He’s already fundraising for his 2020 PAC with $12,000,000 cash on hand.
That’s right. After disbursements he’s got $12 million.
That’s debt free money.
Oh, and the RNC is cash flow positive with $44,000,000 in the bank.
I ask you, at this point, who is going to win?
Conclusion:
Democrats are so broke they can’t pay attention and have zero money to support any war but.
Cheap azz Chinese knockoff of an intellect.
So, get use to Donald Trump being president for 8 years.
*seriously unpopular Republican president*
I beg to disagree with that statement. Trump may be unpopular with the haters, but a substantial majority elected him... so it can’t be “seriously”... However, from their viewpoint, there is only one viewpoint and that is theirs! They write like their thoughts and feelings are the only ones on this earth... everyone must think like they do.
Trump is different... and that’s why we voted for him. As for the republicans and the democrats.. they are one and the same.. with a little more commie in the dems, but “dear friends” one and all... plus they are all too good to associate with the man we elected! I hope we can get rid of a lot of them next cycle... Please, God... deliver us from the elite left in both parties!!!!!!
Back in the day the Blue Dogs were the examples I used when I’d say something like this: “I’d never vote Democrat, but if I did I’d vote for a Blue Dog.” They were the same level of crazy on the social issues as every other Democrat, but at least they were somewhat coy about opening the coin purse. I remember one woman kept an actual blue dog replica under her desk as a symbol of their fiscal conservatism. One of the biggest points of contention with Obamacare back then was that the Blue Dogs had to be tricked, uh, I mean pursueded, that Ocare was going to save the government money. Ha! Once they realized they’d been lied to and no one cared, they were left behind by the party. It would be smart to put a face to what appears to be fiscal sanity again, but I’m happy to see articles like this one telling them the answer is always to go hard left.
Good post. Now all we need are some republicans in congress.
Thanks.
And then there’s that...
I was born and grew up in the Florida Panhandle.
It was so solidly Democrat that very few people even voted in the general election. If you won the primary, you were elected. Once a candidate tried to steal an election by having his people show up in the general election and write in his name.
The primary winner found out just in time and got people to the polls.
Now the area is solidly Republican but not quite to the extent it used to be Democrat.
1st. 2018 is not going to end well for them. They have 25 seats up, with 11 vulnerable. Compare that to the Republicans who have only seats up with merely 2 vulnerable.
I knew the Dems. had many more Senate seats up for election in 2018, but didn’t realize so many were vulnerable.
So, for sake of argument, say the Reps and Dems. split the 2 vulnerable Republican seats, and the GOP picks up 6 of the 11 Dem. vulnerable seats. That would be a net gain of 5 for the Republicans in the Senate. Of course, there could be greater gains for the GOP, but hard to see how the Dems. can even hold the line and defend so many seats without some net loss of seats.
And, we should note, that 2018 is an off year election. The Democrats have historically had trouble getting their voters to vote in off year elections.
Poor Dems. are $3 million in debt?? Contributions are way down??? Dem voters aren’t inspired to send money to the Democrats?? Doesn’t Hillary have some left over money she can give them, to prove that she’s a good Democrat, and maybe garner some good will for another expected presidential run of her own in 2020???
Beat me to it,
HARD LEFT!!! The Democrats need to veer off past Karl Marx. Really, really go left. They need to do that if they’re ever going to win again. I keep screaming it. They need to just do it. Trust me, Dems. You won’t regret it. Ever.
