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

Encourage them in this. It's working great for us.

THE TIDE HAS TURNED.

[Morpheus2009]

Well indidividual states and theit electoral votes were won on narrow margins. A lot of work will need to be done to try and even so much as make the playing field closer to even. Given the Democratic Party thrives off hatred of the Republican Party, there’s more threat of a rebound than a lot of people think. Promises need to be delivered on, especially from the Republican majority.

Perhaps they were on the wrong side of History.

The tide is already in

Party insiders are reluctant to blame the popular Obama but ...

If not Barry, then who? Certainly not Herself. lol

Oregon and Washington were never reliably Republican. The coastal areas of both states have a Yankee and Scandinavian heritage that has been inclined to the left for generations. To a great extent, they resemble Minnesota politically. New Mexico has never been reliably Republican either. The state has always had a Hispanic population, many of whom can trace their families back in New Mexico for over three centuries. Santa Fe has long had a population of artsy liberal types.

The problem with the South Atlantic states is not so much people crossing the Rio Grande but those crossing the Rappahanock. The Southeast has less of a Hispanic problem, but a Yankee problem.

Confidential to the RATs: it is not “message,” not a branding or marketing issue, it is philosophy and approach to problems. But please, keep on keeping on, you are doing great!

It is funny. They believed their own BS.

May I suggest the dem party continue what they are doing along the lines of: being shrill, having riots, threatening/insulting/name call/smear/yell at people who dont vote for them, and going leftward more. That will work.

The only answer they'll come to is they'll think they weren't mean & nasty enough.

[I want the USA back]

The answer is that Whitey has had enough.

Learn how to make rational arguments.

It is very difficult to make rational arguments to promote irrational policies.

[Uncle Sam 911]

How does it get any better? Just do what you say you will do.

[ManHunter]

My recommendation, just keep doing what you’re doing. No, really...!

[aquila48]

That’s right - they lost because they were not leftists enough.

[RayChuang88]

Here's one thing they need to do: get rid of the bad influence of the Clintons post haste. That could take up to a decade to complete.

Searching for answers? Dump your proto-communist balderdash, embrace the Constitution and become conservative Republicans. Then you’ll be fine.

It's funny that the MSM was was saying that Trump was going to cause the collapse of the Republican party...

Democrats put out lies/spin... in this case the problem was people in the party started to believe the lies...

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Along similar lines has anyone seen the left’s talking points for dealing with Conservative relatives at Thanksgiving dinner for this year? They were always funny.

It is worse than that, they are trapped by them. Had HRC won they would have been forgotten by now, all the false premises used to construct flawed narratives are now all they have, they are stuck with them and do not know how to escape, as admitting that it was all propaganda to garner support right out of Alinsky’s playbook is worse than sticking with the lies.
