    Democrats begin to wonder: When do we win?.....

    LMAO.....the Demos and their cult following are starting to go into depression. Quite the fitting reward. They just cant win. Moreover they still haven't figured out that just being against Trump wont win them elections. They have no fresh ideas, they aren't trying to make change for the better. Their just against Trump and those on the Right. What say ye?




    For all the roiling anger and energy at the grass roots, the party still fell short in Georgia and Kansas. And Democratic prospects in upcoming elections aren't promising.

    As it became clear late Tuesday evening that Jon Ossoff would fall just short of the 50-percent mark in the first round of voting in a suburban Atlanta special election, Democrats back in Washington started leafing through their calendars and asking: When does the winning start?

    Ossoff’s moral victory — capturing 48 percent of the vote in a conservative-oriented district — was welcome, but after two successive close-but-no-cigar finishes in House special elections in Georgia and Kansas, a new worry is beginning to set in.

    For all the anger, energy, and money swirling at the grass-roots level, Democrats didn’t manage to pick off the first two Republican-held congressional seats they contended for in the Trump era, and the prospects aren’t markedly better in the next few House races coming up: the Montana race at the end of May, and the South Carolina contest on June 20.

    Their best shot at knocking Donald Trump down a peg appears to be Ossoff’s runoff against Republican Karen Handel, also scheduled for June 20. But the Democrat will be an underdog in that contest, when there won’t be a crowded field of Republicans to splinter the vote.

    After that, it’ll be a further five months before the New Jersey and Virginia elections for governor, leaving some strategists and lawmakers wondering how to keep the furious rank-and-file voters engaged in fueling and funding the party’s comeback — especially given the sky-high expectations that surrounded Ossoff’s ultimately unsuccessful run at the 50-percent threshold that was necessary to win the seat outright.....snip~

    Yep the Cult following of the Demos doesn't like Politico pointing out the problems of the Dems. They just don't want to focus on themselves and why the majority of the country is against them. Not doing anything to better off people and the country. The Demos have no leaders.

    So all they got is, lets be against Trump. Resist Trump. Even after they keep losing. They still are stuck in the blame game, yet don't want to blame themselves....nor their failed ideas.

    As long as they live in denial they will never figure this out.

    1. When either party allows the far wing of the party to dominate the agenda they will get beat regularly.

    2. When you obviously do not work together and your policies are not working well you will get beat.

    The dem party is being completely run by politically correct progressives not to be confused with standard liberals because there is a difference. The blue collar liberals are being lost by the progressive dem party. End of story. The republicans are not ran by the far right. They can cause problems but they are being weeded out. There for a bit they had too much control, sorry Tea Party. The Tea Party is its own worst enemy. Some fine ideas but this is a larger country that requires some give and take, they are too hard line. Truthfully Trump got the party's attention by making big time history on election night. No one saw it coming, except as it turns out Bill Clinton. Smart guy. He tried to tell them. Trump won states that the dems assumed they could keep dishing out continued lip service (because their crap doesn't stink). They "ass"umed the these voters would allow them to continue with policies that are detrimental to them.

    America's regular folk are growing tired of this crap. America is America not some robot worldly politically correct demagoguery place like Europe. Go check all the mistakes they made. Language, No borders, mixing monies etc.......Screwed the pooch and its caught up to them.

    Go ahead dems keep up with the Russian / Putin BS. Keep up with shutting down free speech. Keep up pushing transgender like it is slavery. Keep trying to kill free speech. Keep trying to say the laws don't matter and there are no borders. Keep it up!

    Want to win? See Trump he talked real about real issues that bother voting Americans in the middle. He convinced regular folks that he would go to bat for them. He is doing that despite the media and all the lefties pushing bologna. From the organized dishonest anarchy protests to the Russian story is not a winning plan. You are falling further behind.

    BTW Obama was rougher on the republicans with rhetoric than our actual enemies, go figure! He worked with terrorists on deals and turned his back on half of America.

    Even Halperin and Glenn Thrush are telling the Demos like it is. Trying to say they won in Georgia is only deluding themselves. Now they will be on the Ropes, and they deserve every bit of it.



    “If they can’t win in this highly educated district around Atlanta, then Democrats are—even with Donald Trump’s numbers the way they are—they’re just not surging the way the need to if they’re going to take back the House,” said Halperin.


    Co-host Joe Scarborough said Democratic leaders have told him that they felt their party failed in the lead up to this race, that there wasn’t a solid ground game, and that Democrats should be treating this race like the presidential election in terms of enthusiasm, passion, and determination. I would say that’s semi-true. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had eight staffers on the ground in February, which increased to 70 by Election Day. The Democrat picked to flip the district, Jon Ossoff, doesn’t live there—and most of his donations are coming from outside of the state. Yet, he seemed to gain some confidence in the preceding days that he could have pulled it off last night, instead of his original position, which is to get a runoff spot. Well, in the end, more Republicans voted, though their share was split among 11 candidates and Ossoff only outperformed Clinton by one percent. James Hohmann of The Washington Post, citing National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar, said that Democrats don’t have a message to sell to voters, where they need to make inroads if there’s any hope for them to return to the majority:


    Still, Democrats seem to be reverting back to their detached sense of reality that we saw post-2016, with Ossoff saying that his non-win—he failed to get 51 percent—was a “victory for the ages.” You didn’t win man and it seems quite possible that the GOP will unite behind Karen Handel, who fits better with the GA-06 since she’s more of a traditional Republican. Also, it seems Democrats are quite unhappy that Ossoff, and the Sam Jackson’s Pulp Fiction-based radio ads that supported his candidacy, couldn’t get him over the top.


    This morning The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush said “My inbox … has been flooded by Democrats who are sort of saying Ossoff was a terrible candidate.”


    At the same time, he did hit on another issue Democrats have, which is candidate recruitment.


    “The other thing is, look how deep the bench was down there. There were a lot of people who wanted that seat. I think the larger issue that we're dealing with here right now is the fact that the Democrats just don't have a lot of candidates, not just in Georgia but around the country in general,” he added......snip~

    Is appropriate to say where are they? Seems popular these days.

    I think Democrats have a real shot as soon as they start supporting America and Americans. Hating America and Americans doesn't get it done.

    I think the Democrats have a real shot when then stop talking about bathrooms and taking more immigrants as being our priorities as a nation; and, instead talking about putting Americans first as our priority.
