Before I read the rest, keep in mind "the electorate" didn't show up in 2010 to vote GOP, they didn't show up at all. Same as 2014. Hence why Obama won in 2012.Not to mention GOP obstruction and filibusters from 2008-2010, then add to that historically midterms always have low voter turnout. And GOP obstruction really turned off a lot of voters who were hoping for change. Instead of even more people showing up to vote out the obstructionists they didn't and the obstructionists were rewarded.He would have done a lot better without 6 years of mindless Pub obstruction and shutdown threats...that Foxbots etc etc don't seem to know about...BAD ECONOMY:

Yep, we're doing great. Economically, we're booming, and things couldn't be better. We're experiencing economic growth and stability. America is working, and the wheels of commerce are turning full speed. We have an internal cash flow unmatched anywhere in the world. As a matter of fact, we're doing so great, that we're giving away multi-$Billions to foreign governments, engaging in senseless deadly costly wars, and providing care and support for millions of illegal immigrants. What more could we ask for?
What's funny is these sh*tstain progressives complain about many of the things on your list about how screwed up our economy is, usually on threads meant to attack capitalism in general. Yet when it comes to the Hussein and his record, suddenly they are trying to convince everyone what a wonderful job he is doing.
Judging from the AWFUL legislation that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party gave us in the two years that they controlled the House, Senate and Oval Office, Franco...it's small wonder that the electorate introduced obstruction to the process when they voted out record numbers of Democrats. That didn't happen because progressives were doing wonderful things...that happened because they chose to take advantage of a financial crisis to pass a completely flawed and poorly named ACA...and a stimulus plan that rewarded Democratic supporters more than it stimulated a staggering economy.
Now the GOP has led and what have they done besides cut social programs for the poor to give guys like trump a tax break. Trump, who went from $1 billion to $8 billion. That's who Republicans are worrying about.
You really don't have a clue what's going on in this country...do you, Sealy?
Democrats got voted out of office in 2010 because they went along with a massive overhaul of our healthcare system that a majority of the American people did not want. Blaming what Barack Obama referred to as a "shellacking" following the 2010 mid-terms as a problem with "voter turn out" is wishful thinking on the part of progressives. You folks got your asses handed to you because you ignored the electorate.
The GOP is the Party that has been "obstructed" since 2010. Unlike Bill Clinton, who pivoted to the center and compromised with conservatives following his own shellacking in a mid-term election...Barack Obama has taken a "charred earth" stance towards the GOP. He demanded they cave to what he wanted to see for legislation and had Harry Reid stacking Republican bills on his desk over in the Senate that weren't allowed to even come up for a vote! Then when the GOP got enough votes in the Senate to stop that...Obama threatened to veto anything that came to his desk that he didn't like. Blaming the GOP for not getting stuff done...when the Democrats have done what they have done is amusing...but totally ridiculous!
If the same numbers showed up in midterms you'd lose.
