Democrats Flipped Zero Seats in Four Recent Blue State Special Elections

This latest Democrat slaughter occurred after DNC newbie Perez bragged Democrats would show that their resistance to Trump could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states Hillary (cough) "won" in the 2016 presidential election.

(cue hysterical laugh machine)

===========================================

2016 election map---Democrats are learning to swim underwater.

==================================================

(HAT TIP DEROY MURDOCK NYPOST 12/26/16)

EXCERPT-----As President Obama concludes his reign of error, his party is smaller, weaker and ricketier than it has been since at least the 1940s. Behold the tremendous power that Democrats have frittered away — from January 2009 through the aftermath of Election Day — thanks to Obama and his ideas:

•Democrats surrendered the White House to political neophyte Donald J. Trump.

•US Senate seats slipped from 55 to 46, down 16 percent.

•US House seats fell from 256 to 194, down 24 percent.

•Democrats ran the Senate and House in 2009. Next year, they will control neither.

•Governorships slid from 28 to 16, down 43 percent.

•State legislatures (both chambers) plunged from 27 to 14, down 48 percent.

•Trifectas (states with Democrat governors and both legislative chambers) cratered from 17 to 6, down 65 percent.

The GOP can still blow it. I don’t say that as a pessimist ... I’m saying that to temper my (high) expectations at the opportunities we have as conservatives :-)!

People want Trump’s platform. Republicans campaign, for the most part, on Trump’s platform, but make excuses when it comes to implementing anything that reduces the Federal Government’s stranglehold. All the GOP has to do is get some modicum of unity and deliver on a couple of Trump’s key campaign points prior to the 2018 elections ... if they do that, conservatism is going to make some significant gains in 2018 that are going to drive the Democratic Party to a near terminal state since their funding for 2020 will start to dry up!

If the GOP fails to do anything, the Dem’s losses will be marginal and that’ll give them both time and money to facilitate a recovery.

Bottom line, if the GOP is serious about ending the Democratic reign of terror, now is the time to step up and do it. The Democratic Party is at an all time low ... and there is still room for them to sink lower. All the GOP has to do is stick to campaign promises *we* like here on FR and the Democratic Party becomes a West Cost / New York City / Boston party (and even that will fragment).

Something tells me that the GOP wants nothing to do with that ... too much ill earned money is at stake.
