Yep some of that thar reality.....that the leftness just can't change by mocking Trump. Looks like they will have to blame their Special Man. BO the Peep. :laugh:





The Democrats enjoyed a renaissance last decade, thanks in 2006 to backlash over the presidency of George W. Bush and then the rise of Barack Obama (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/section/barack-obama). It's basically been downhill ever since. Today in Politico Mag (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/democrats-trump-administration-wilderness-comeback-revival-214650), Edward-Isaac Dovere looks at the scale of the desolation:


They were counting on a Clinton win to paper over a deeper rot they've been worrying about—and to buy them some time to start coming up with answers. In other words, it wasn't just Donald Trump (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/section/donald-trump). Or the Russians. Or James Comey. Or all the problems with how Clinton and her aides ran the campaign. Win or lose, Democrats were facing an existential crisis in the years ahead—the result of years of complacency, ignoring the withering of the grass roots and the state parties, sitting by as Republicans racked up local win after local win....


What's clear from interviews with several dozen top Democratic politicians and operatives at all levels, however, is that there is no comeback strategy—just a collection of half-formed ideas, all of them challenged by reality.


The whole piece is very much worth reading (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/democrats-trump-administration-wilderness-comeback-revival-214650) (it also contains some terrific graphics and maps) for some perspective on how bad things are for Democrats right now after a brutal and completely unexpected loss. It's not just that they're out of power — time is also their enemy. If President-elect Trump (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/section/donald-trump) enjoys even modest success as president in his first two years, Republicans are a decent bet to keep the House and almost a sure bet to hold and even gain in the Senate in the 2018 midterm. And the Democratic Party has only until 2020 to win back enough of a foothold at the state level to avoid having Republicans dominate next decade's redistricting process, which would make the road back to power even steeper and perhaps even longer......snip~

You know its bad for the left when Politico is preaching to their choir. Kind of difficult for the leftness to go after their own. Unless they are illiberals.

When will you start.....you're always whining and crying about those on the Right.

Doesn't look like you can handle it.....that's why you are trying to shut down others from talking about your party. Anything to take the focus off that party of failure.

Its so bad.....you can't even handle other liberals talking about your party. Pointing out those realities that you don't want to face or hear about.

Moreover, when you wake up and figure out.....that there are many that want to see your party destroyed. Let us know you can comprehend at least that much.


Oh and, another illiberal defeated by common sense.

what disaster? Every time we get a new pres, the first four years are a free ride. Even you blamed a lot of stuff on Bush, and so on down the line. Of course he's got major read rework to do, but for the first four years, it's Obama's fault

The Democratic Party is tearing itself apart. The Schumer mind-set is leading the party to a total crack-up. It doesn't look like they realuze that, but eventually they will.

Everyone notice the supposition in this post. The havoc trump "WILL" be wreaking on it. The problem with that it proves how immature and full of shit the left is with this ridiculous lie based protests. :) In the end they will know who the very new president is and the change he will usher in.

Well, the Democratic Party hasn't handled itself well the past few years.

No one yet knows the impact Trump will or won't have, that's yet to be seen, despite your predictions of doomand gloom.

We do, however, know that the DNC conspired to give Hillary the presidency, cheated Sanders, and could not win against Trump.

You keep saying Trump is so bad, but you don't seem to understand that if he is, indeed, that bad, the Democratic Party must really be hurting.

As you do the same.

Democrats lost 63 house seats, 11 Senate seats, 13 governorships, and nearly 1,000 state legislator seats.

The GOP now has complete control of the White House, both chambers of Congress, and 33 states have a Republican governor. In 25 of those 33 states, Republicans control the legislature as well. In contrast, there are only five states with complete Democratic control.

Tell us more about those "Good Times" ??

Projection.....don't make laugh so hard. Since I have returned here and even before. I have always focused on the Demo Party. Always showing their failures and why they are the weakness of this country. Just like I do on several other sites. Which you can't miss. The font and same screen name is a certain giveaway.

Now you want to deny reality talking about the coming disaster. The disaster has already began and that's the reality you and your party are facing.
