Is Obama's Legacy Killing the Democrat Party?

[WelfareQueen]

The stunning losses for Democrats under Obama keep piling up, yet Progressives seem clueless. Witness the pathetic quality of the Democrat Candidates running for President. Lincoln Chaffee anyone? A story in Vox highlights the Obama legacy and the damage he has done to the Democrat Party.. A key quote:



"Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy."


What do you think Obama has done for the Democrat Party?



Don’t believe the Democratic Party is in crisis? Then read this tweet.

This fails as a loaded question fallacy.

Obama's legacy has pretty much killed off any fiscally conservative dems, and any dem appearance in rural states that don't have high "minority" voter numbers. Yet, the dems continue to have s very real advantage in the electoral college.

You know if Stats were here he could explain how all those loses were part of the grand plan. Or we could call it just what it is. America is TIRED of democrats, DAMN TIRED.

First, Webster's called they are concerned about your overuse of the word 'fallacy'.

The fact is Democrats have lost 1,200 seats nationally during Obama's presidency, those are stunning losses. You have to go all the way back to 1921 to find a smaller Democratic party minority in congress. His one big achievement Obamacare is so unpopular his own party forced him to go on national TV and take the blame for it. Romney won the majority of independents in 2012. I'd call that a near complete rejection of the Democrats and their stupid ideas.

I'd advise Democrats to stop lying that's doing most of the damage but I know it would fall on deaf ears.

Yeah, and the standard liberal answer to all this is that Republicans only win when there's low voter turnout. Has it occurred to them that there's a reason that so many Democratic voters have not voted? Has it dawned on them that those people might be saying, "You've done such a lousy job that I'm just not going to vote"?

Until Obama came long, Democrats could correctly argue that modern Democratic presidents were more fiscally conservative than modern Republican presidents. Like it or not, that happens to be true. But after Obama, that argument will be gone for many years. Obama has shattered all records for debt accumulation and just last week signed a bill that will add $80 billion in spending and that allows him to borrow as much as he wants until he leaves office.

It's all about voter turn out.

We'll see if the Dems can take back the Senate.

 

[BlackFlag]

Meh whatever. Obama accomplished a lot in his 8 years. The backlash against Dems next year, if it happens, won't be anywhere near as bad as the backlash against the GOP was in 2008 after the disastrous Bush years. And the party will just build itself back up afterwards.

Of course, I expect Democrats to win the White House and take back the Senate next year anyways.

As a percentage of the economy, the deficit is now down to just 2.5%, which is below the average of the past half-century, and down from 9.8% when the president took office.

Deficit shrinks by $1 trillion in Obama era

 

[JakeStarkey]

Damn that Obama.

 

[TNHarley]

I don't think so. It takes a lot for stubborn ideologues to come to their senses and leave the duopoly.

 

[jwoodie]

Obama is playing a long game. Once we reach the demographic tipping point, he will have won.

Ahahaha Hispanics are not going to vote for stupid democrats long term, if you think they will you don't know Hispanics. Most are as greedy and profit driven as I am

A fallacy is a fallacy. The president has won many victories over his enemies, not the least being the two smashing presidential elections. The dems are not afraid of a GOP that is afraid to change.

And Hispanics will not vote GOP as long as the nativists remain outspoken in their hatred.

The Hispanic vote is the least of my concerns. Once we resolve our immigration issues, they will become a natural GOP constituency.

We will find out next year, WQ.

As the article states Jake...we already know. Obama has killed the Democrat Party Nationally. The losses have been stunning under his Presidency. That cannot be argued.

Facts are not fallacy. Look it up. The numbers are real and cannot be argued.

I really don't think Obama could do it alone. The leader perhaps, yes, but not exclusively the failure of the party.

Look at how other Democrats are behaving under his leadership. I was watching Bill O tonight where he reported that Harry Weed stopped the Kate's law bill. Bill thinks that Obama was behind it because he never wants to see that bill make it to his desk.

How in the world can anybody be against such a bill? Well, most of the Democrats are, and Americans are watching.

Then we have the never ending Hillary thing going on, and her second in the polls an admitted Socialist that wants to make our 18 trillion debt look like a warmup act.

So I don't think it's DumBama alone. I think Americans are finally getting a true taste of liberalism and it's leaving a bad taste in their mouths. The last two mid-terms and last nights results are proof of this. And wait until people see what Obama Care is going to cost them for next year!

Okay, so DumBama won twice, but the Democrats lost in other elections. What does that tell you?

It tells me that the American public likes DumBama on a personal note, but doesn't like his or the liberal policies.

Here in Ohio DumBama won twice as well, but last night, the marijuana legalization lost by almost a 2 to 1 margin.

There is no Obama for next election; nobody even close.
