When Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu lost her re-election runoff on Saturday it put Barack Obama in the record books as the two-term president with the most midterm losses for his party.

The record previously was held by Harry Truman.

Truman’s Democratic Party lost 74 seats in 1946 and 1950, while under Obama the Democrats have lost a total of 75 seats in 2010 and 2014. He could lose one more if Republican Martha McSally beats Democratic Rep. Ron Barber in Arizona in an election recount, Breitbart News reports. McSally is currently ahead by only 200 votes. …

Poor baby.

Yes, whites are still the clear majority in this country. Not that that should matter but it was the Democrats who decided to make race an issue and throw whites under the bus in order to curry favor with the minorities.

This strategy did not work out very well for them and it will continue to burn them in future election cycles. Some of the damage they did is unrepairable.

True. There was a story in the NYT some few years back, Rush reported on it, explaining how the Democrat Party was basically abandoning the white vote. Looks like the white vote abandoned them in return.

Democrats probably think this is worth the loss - if Obamacare and Amnesty stand. Combine the government power over our lives and crippling debt from Obamacare with the 20+ million new undocumented democrats from Amnesty, and they don’t care about the short-term cost.

The only acceptable answer is to repeal Obamacare and block Amnesty. The alternative would be very ugly (and it’s not abject surrender).

The loser-in-chief continues to impress.

If only we foment the dislike between the Chicanos and Blacks . . .

As horrible as it is, a divided enemy is easier to deal with.

So the Republicans win in a rout yet they’re afraid to stand up to Obama.

[aquila48]

But he continues to do as he pleases - he’s acting like he won, and the winners are acting like the losers.

[DuncanWaring]

Just like after the ‘94 elections, they’ll keep letting the ‘rats run the show.

Rumor has it the Clintons were so toxic on the campaign trail that Chels is begging them to stay home when she starts running for office...

[bgill]

It won't matter when the new congress hands over their huevos.

[blueunicorn6]

The only other record Obama holds is “Most Missed Shots In A Row At The White House Basket”.

[Balding_Eagle]

I agree completely with what you said.

[Political Junkie Too]

No,the Republicans are afraid to stand up to the Chamber of Commerce and other big donors.
