During Obama's tenure, Democrats lost over 800 state legislative seats, at least 13 governorships and both houses of Congress.-------------It's funny that the MSM was was saying that Trump was going to cause the collapse of the Republican party...it turns out just the opposite

And knowing most Dems like I do - that answer will involve even stronger cries of racism, more LGBTQ stuff and smashing up inner cities.

It’s also funny how, just a few weeks ago, the Democrats were smugly bragging about the electoral advantage that their blue wall gave them. Now they’re crying about the popular vote for some reason.

My recommendation would be that they all go home and spend more time with their families. Leave the job of running America to the adults.

Hopefully they keep Nancy Pelosi to help carry the Dems into the future

Whoa a second.

Lets look at the map.

CA, NV, OR, WA, CO, NM, VA were once reliably Red. Now they're Blue.

NC and FL were red and are now purple.

GA was way closer than it should have been.

The gop better start paying attention.

Maybe “Kill Whitey” was a losing message?

I can help them with this.

First: decide the LAWS of our country are to be enforced.

Second: start respecting people with whom you disagree. AND stop calling them names.

Third: start respecting those who have faith and do not want to go against their beliefs. AND stop calling them names.

Fourth: stop overtaxing the hard working people of this country.

Fifth: stop spending our money like it’s yours to spend. The people are fed up with funding all your pet projects and your voters (legal and illegal)who cannot be bothered to work.

Anyone want to add anything to help the Democrats appear more mainstream? They won’t listen anyway.

The cards are all played out.

race card
gender card
class card
etc...

...and I’m expecting our new law and order president to bring in whatever force is necessary to crush rioters. There will be blood, but it will be theirs.

Democrats could try patriotism.
Democrats could try protecting jobs for the working class.
Democrats could try respecting the Bill of Rights.
Democrats could try following the law.
Democrats could try protecting our borders.
Democrats could try repealing unpopular laws that limit freedom.

Nope, I don’t see any realistic answers that could slow their losses, none that their party leaders would accept.

This was biblical.

Or it would be, if any of your voters owned and read Bibles.

Personally, I think a good, hard, loud, screeching, "in your face" turn to the left is exactly what the Democrats need to do. They just haven't gone left far enough or fast enough. Say it loud, and say it proud - "Karl Marx is my home boy".

Maybe the fact they ignored the people in ram rodding their agenda through congress when they held power and refusing to do a course correction in the last 4 years of Obama?

Democrats sided with leftist college professors over average, hard working Americans. Trump sided with workers. Makers vs takers. Makers won. He needs to follow through on trade and immigration if he wants to keep the working class with him.

There are no answers to failed propositions.

There you go again, thinking proggies are fair, reasonable, inclusive, tolerant, diverse people.

Rush mentioned this as well, but also said,and I believe it to be true, that there is still a vast infrastructure of low level operatives.

I've often found myself asking, "How did a dope like that get to be superintendent?"

Political coalitions built on a combination of small minorities, especially when some of them can be reasonably defined as suffering from one or more severe mental illnesses, are going to be inherently unstable. By going overboard in appealing to aggressive homosexuals, transvestites, pedophiles, radical man hating lesbians, Muslims, convicted felons and wannabe cop killers, the party of slavery and the KKK deserves to wander in the wilderness for a generation.
