Could the Democratic Party be looking at the "Perfect Storm?"

[g5000]

I think if the GOP loses the White House again, they will still fail to learn. I think they will still refuse to look in the mirror for who to blame.

Trump is proof of this. He is telling them all their problems are the fault of the Mexicans, which is one of the most hilarious blaming games ever.

Even after they royally fucked up the 2012 election, the rubes refused to look in the mirror and decided they lost "because gifts".

Rubes love scapegoats.

We were told constantly the Democrats lost Congress because of redistricting. In 2012 we lost despite every indication we would win because of massive black turnout in key states. That was the ONLY reason Obozo won again.

He was also the first black president. Given the media groundswell it wouldnt matter how incompetent he was.

And Rump wants to be the first Orange one. But he doesn't have the advantage of running during an economic collapse like the black-one-who-somehow-doesn't-count* did.

*

How many black presidential candidates have the Dems had in the last 12years?
How many black presidential candidates have the GOP had in the last 12 years?
The correct answer to the first question is "none"

Maybe your fingers are too short to count?

 

[rightwinger]

The only way is if Trumps coattails are really, really short

"Coattails"?

Don't you mean...

I never realized his fingers are so short

You never thought about it. You repeat that because you saw the John Oliver clip. You have nothing original to say here so dont even try.

No...I'm serious here

Look at the picture. He has an obvious short finger deformity. You know what they say about people with short fingers....You can't trust them

Actually, Ronald Reagan was the first orange president. When I first met him in 1977, that was my very first thought when I first spoke to him, how orange he was. Nearly broke my concentration.

Nicest guy in the world, though. Nothing like Trump.

Imo that is what is drafting Ryan. Or allowing Ryan to let himself be drafted. Bottom line is we need to reform the tax code to make the base of what is taxed broader and give the middle class a tax cut along the way.

But that is heresy for Norquist.

Trump may have an advantage with the orange skinned population

The ship sank & everyone died in the Perfect Storm.

Is this your idea of a good thing? The sinking of our nation? Oh wait.... yall elected Obama twice.

a good thing that the wackos are being marginalized?

yes.

a good thing that a once admirable party has spent 7 years creating their own monster?

no.

Donald Trump hits all-time low in the polls that really matter

GOP headaches now include Sharron Angle: Jon Ralston

You ever notice Norquist's pledge says nothing about promising not to increase spending?

Yeah! Read it for yourself and see.

Very revealing.

Democrats: Tax and spend.
Republicans: Borrow and spend.

Anyway, the tax thing is the only reason I would vote for Cruz. I mentioned this a week or so ago in a topic I started.

I detest Cruz, but Trump has managed to make even Cruz look good. If the election is Trump v. Clinton, I will leave the top of my ballot blank. If the election is Cruz v. Clinton, I just might vote for Cruz, and solely because of his tax plan to eliminate almost all tax expenditures.

His 10 percent flat tax bracket is beyond moronic, but I suspect Cruz picked that number as a negotiating starting point so he can give the illusion of comprising when a higher number is settled upon.

It's obvious he's got John Boehner in mind as a running mate, in a blatant appeal for the Orange-American vote.

This thread is hilarious given the two top Democrats are two old white people.

The GOP front runner is the second oldest and whitest of the three.

Why don't you find out how many people of color are in Congress under the GOP banner, and then how many are in Congress under the Democratic banner, and get back to us?

That proves only that colored people vote Democrat.
How many black presidential candidates have the Dems had in the last 12years?
How many black presidential candidates have the GOP had in the last 12 years?
The correct answer to the first question is "none"
The correct answer to the second question is "three"

Fuzzy math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better aside, if your benchmark for merit is counting races, here's some stats for ya...

Number of African Americans competing for Democratic nomination: 14 (including O'bama)
Number of African Americans competing for Republican nomination: 9

Elections where a party's black candidate received popular votes:

Democrats 2
Republicans 0
Socialist Worker's Party: 10
Workers World Party: 5
​

Do your math.

Guess which party has 2 Muslims serving in Congress. Guess which party has 0.

Guess which party has 11 Asian Pacific Islanders serving in the House. Guess which party has 0.

Guess which party has 6 gays serving in Congress. Guess which party has none (that we know of).

Guess which party has 24 Hispanics currently serving in the House of Representatives. Guess which party has 8.

It's nothing but a back door attempt to defund soc sec and medicare. And the IRONY is that while Reagan was absolutely not a medicare fan, he raised taxes to save both. And Norquist cites to Reagan for supporting his "pledge."

I could vote for cruz. I don't think he's actually honest with the TPM about his positions, but then he'd have to a moron to be in agreement.

I dont know why Democrats continue to support Obama.
Stupid?
