Democrats by 2004 had become obsessed with defeating incumbent President George W. Bush.
Four years earlier, in the 2000 election, Bush had won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote. Democrats were still furious that Bush supposedly had been "selected" by the Supreme Court over the contested vote tally in Florida rather than "elected" by the majority of voters.
By late 2003, Bush's popularity had dipped over the unpopular Iraq War, which a majority in both houses of Congress approved but had since disowned.
Bush was attacked nonstop as a Nazi, fascist, and war criminal. "Bush lied, people died" was the new left-wing mantra.
Talk of Bush's impeachment was in the air. Democrats remembered that his father, George H.W. Bush, lost his re-election bid in 1992. They hoped the same fate awaited his son.
Neither presidential candidate Al Gore nor vice-presidential candidate Joe Lieberman from the defeated 2000 ticket wanted to run again in 2004. Sen. John Edwards was a charismatic newcomer candidate, but he was increasingly proving to be a smarmy empty suit.
Oddly, none of the Democrats wished to identify with the last successful liberal president, two-term Bill Clinton, or his policies. In 2000, Gore also ran away from the president under whom he had served as vice president — and lost.
Within that void, little-known Vermont Gov. Howard Dean announced early on that he was running. And for most of 2003, according to polls, Dean was the front-runner of the Democratic primary field.

“Don’t tell me you’re buying that garbage about the social media?
Their algorithms will swing FAR FEWER votes than “experts” are saying.
15 million votes would mean a VERY easy win for the dem and if you really believe that then why follow it up with the cheer that we must work as if this is our last election blah blah
your 15 million number is ridiculous”
The voice of wisdom, all is normal...democrats do not have power to sway voters, neither does the media or social media...
People like do0622 will be asking themselves “what happened?” When conservatives and christians disapper in large numbers from society. He will be certain to show he is a law abiding citizen. Heck, he may even report violaters, even family members just to prove he is a good citizen.
B7t in our case we are right.
Oregon should be mentioned when the roll of retarded States is read.
The voter fraud will be far more massive in 2020 than 2004 as the leftwing communists/socialists continue to ramp up their totalitarian violence to overthrow our Constitutional Republic “by any means necessary”.
Sadly, nothing is being done to control/stop the voter fraud.
For eight long years Obummer was working behind the scenes to transform (weaponize) the federal government. I fervently hope that while Trumo is out front draining the swamp to fix the government, he’s also behind the scenes working to transform the American media, this time to our side. Crush the Leftists.
I hope not.
Lurch came uncomfortably close to winning.
The Swiftboat Vets really pulled our bacon out of the fire on that one.
The reality it will be like the 1984 landslide win of Ronald Reagan.
There are anti vote fraud groups fighting against voter fraud.
Unfortunately, I’ve not seen any significant results in making our elections free and fair.
In 2016, California had 5-10 MILLION ILLEGALS voting. One can only imagine how many ILLEGALS will vote in Texas...and if we lose Texas, we lose America.
As I posted previously, “The voter fraud will be far more massive in 2020 than 2004”
The daily frenzy of hate the left is fulminating against whites is repelling Democrat voters. I think the Donald will do very well picking up more voters in 2020.
A good sign is that voices like Carlson, Rush and Hannity are pushing back on the white supremacy hoax. People don’t like to be falsely accused of racism.
True the Vote is one organization.
And even minorities are for restrictions on illegal aliens.
I’M HOPING IT’LL BE MORE LIKE 1994

The Dems are overplaying their hand with the willing collaboration of the media, it won’t end well for them. They misread the public.
No because it President MAGA Trump in 2020 not some RINO Coward who refused to fight back and hid in the Bushes!
Good job spotting the connection.
There’s one big difference, though. Mostly as a reaction to what they thought was a “can’t lose” effort in 2004, followed by two big wins in 2008 and 2012, followed by their failure to pull a sick old drunk over the finish line in 2016, the media has expanded both the scope of their control work AND the breadth of their lies.
If 70% of women in America got their news exclusively from Facebook, as they do today - GW Bush would have lost in a landslide.
What they’ve learned from 2016 is that no lie is too big, and that “private” companies can deny a platform to whomever they choose.
It’s not a pretty picture.
There will be anti-Trump enthusiasm. In spades.
.... um ....
... er ...
Let's ponder that a while, and maybe something will occur to us ...
