they trashed Bush, gained power in 2006 and held some of it through 2016.
Run the script again.
Meanwhile, Stevens and Souter, 2 GOP Justices, gave their seats to the Commies. And of course, federal insolvency has hit.
Once again, like nearly all of the pundit class, Krauthammer talks about his own lesson just learned on Nov. 8th 2016 as though he knew it all along.
No, no road back for a democrat, move to Cuba ya bunch of commie rats.
“The GOP shows that its possible to win elections...”
Laughable isn’t it? He credits the GOP, the same GOP that fought tooth and nail against Trump and his voters.
It wasn’t the GOP that showed how to win. It was Donald J Trump.
Hey Charlie why don’t you run for DNC chair?
It wasnt the GOP that showed how to win. It was Donald J Trump.
Is paved with land mines.
IS Kraut identifying as a Repub again? Is he ok with Trump now?
Pray America woke
I doubt he meant the analogy, but it would seem fitting.
Erich Maria Remarque, author of “All Quiet On The Western Front”, two years later published a sequel, “The Road Back” (Der Weg zurück). It was about the same group of soldiers in chaotic Germany after the war, as the German economy crumbled.
The climactic scene in the book is a depiction of a protest parade of horribly wounded war veterans demanding their pensions lest they starve. They marched in blocs specific to their injuries, each more horrifying than the last, many because of the poison gases used as weapons.
If this is what Krauthammer meant, the Democrats are in a sorry state indeed.
The left doesn’t believe it’s over for identity politics. On one of the election night programs I heard someone opine that this was the last time white Americans would be able to prevail. The changing demographic was a recurrent theme on all the programs I have seen (thanks to youtube that would be Fox, msnbc, nbc, cbs, abc, cnn and pbs).
That white Americans are a diminishing species, all took for granted. The Van Jones explosion (”this was a whitelash”) was tellingly received by white, white old Jeffrey Lord with benumbed silence.
It’s too soon for the media to begin grooming the next Democrat president, but in a month or so they will scour the rolls of Hispanic politicians for suitable material. In 2020 it’ll be an ethnic pick.
Brings to mind another good quote I heard: "When Trump is winning he doesn't lose."
They’ll be back. Elections and power are cyclical. Sometimes the cycle takes a long time to turn however.
Keith Ellison is the answer! Under his leadership the DZNC will prevail in 2020. Pass it on.
I agree they’ll likely go after an ethnic pick, seeking to rival Obama’s success. But I think it will fall flat. People have observed that under Obama, racial tensions and identity politics have deepened our divide.
Also, Obama was a once in a lifetime phenomenon. He didn’t prevail solely because he was half-black. He is also an incredibly gifted politician with terrific oratory skills.
It will be difficult, if not impossible to find someone with those gifts. But there might be someone out there that hasn’t risen to prominence yet. Obama’s rise was meteoric and it could happen again.
At this point, it appears blacks won’t deliver their votes in huge numbers WITHOUT a black candidate - a crippling limitation for the Dems. We have been more polarized over the past eight years, and if Obama had any of the magic or popularity attributed to him by the enemedia Hillary would have destroyed Trump.
Obama’s legacy is Republicans in control of all segments of government, and someone as flawed/erratic as Trump in the White House. All the mud slung at Trump over the past year by libs now has to be re-examined as they come to terms with the fact that he beat their anointed candidate - the heroine of the left.
Since they were lib Justices though, there was no change to the ideology of the court.
Ugh...just imagine how many nasty rulings could have been prevented if GOP Presidents didn’t F up those picks, though IIRC, Ford defended Stevens to his dying day.
What Sanders says is tone down the BLM/Feminazi stuff and just stick to good old fashioned class warfare, sorry that’s still “tribalism” and certainly not “appealing to all Americans”.
Agreed
