WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats are planning an extensive review of what went wrong in the 2014 and 2010 elections, hoping to find ways to translate success in presidential campaigns into future midterm contests.

A party committee will conduct a "top-to-bottom assessment" of the Democrats' performance in recent midterm elections and try to determine why they have struggled to turn out its core voters in nonpresidential elections.

0bama was able to get the dysfunctional degenerate welfare vote out, combined with the usual metrosexual/liberal/union vote in great enough numbers to win.

During midterm elections, those people tend to not show up.

When he is no longer on the ballot, enough of them probably won’t show up again to elect a ‘whitey’. He has probably thoroughly damaged the Democrat party for a generation. Clinton just hurt them, 0bama has inflicted a horrible damage, and there will be a battle on their side between the kooks and the centrist types(if they have any).

Pretty sure they will conclude they were not effective in getting their message out.

The ads that NARAL were running in Colorado were pure genius. I have no idea how Cory Gardner won? They had some guy coming home to his “virgin” girlfriend saying he couldn't find any condoms anywhere. She said, “did you try the drug store?” He said, “yes, I tried everywhere.” “CORY GARNDER BANNED BIRTH CONTROL!” I'll never understand how Sen, Udall could have possibly lost!

I’d vote for “We didn’t get our message across.”

If they want to get serious, they should contemplate “It’s the Communism, stupid.”

Let me guess what they will say: The American people are stupid.

Hmmm, if you’re right, maybe a Dr. Ben Carson ticket wouldn’t be a bad strategy in 2016. Maybe some of them wouldn’t even realize that he’s a Republican.

They will conclude that the Koch brothers should have all their wealth taken away, it’s all Bush’s fault and the American voter is stupid.

Oh, also...we have to recount every election the Democrats lost until they win.

The Bolshiecrats problem is Communism should have died with the Soviet Union.

Being radicals, I would hazard to guess they will decide two things.

1) Their ideas were not radical enough. And,

2) They need to more viciously attack their enemies, and lie to the public better.

Let us hope they come to entirely the wrong conclusions and solutions.

The IRS-Benghazi Congress (Weekly Update) (Judicial Watch Election Analysis)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3224898/posts

In many ways, the results from this week’s elections confirm what you already know as a supporter of Judicial Watch. Voters are sick and tired of the Obama administration’s lawlessness. The new Congress has new mandate to clean up Washington and put the Obama administration (and, frankly, itself) back under the rule of law................

How did the founders know to set it up this way so the Øbama-stash people stay home for mid-terms?

Grown ups voted in 2010 and 2014; Not easily manipulated idiot millenials and welfare people with their Obamaphones.

You nailed it. And these same idiots will be out in large numbers again in 2016 to support their next Marxist leader.

If the GOP handles the next two years well, we may still be able to outvote them. That is a big IF.
