Two Midterm Elections Have Hollowed Out The Democratic Party

Washington Post ^

The more serious problem for Democrats is the drubbing they’ve taken in the states, the breeding ground for future national talent and for policy experimentation. Republicans have unified control — the governorship and the legislature — in 23 states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Democrats control just seven. Democrats hold 18 governorships, but only a handful are in the most populous states. In California, Gov. Jerry Brown won again at age 76, his fourth, non-consecutive term in the governor’s office. His victory means that younger Democrats will have to wait until 2018 to compete for one of...

I wonder if the Pubbies will do a Reid and just change the rules??

They have to figure out what their values are first.

Ah, the elusive white RINO, there is an undisturbed herd of them in Washington... I do understand that there are several white RINO hunters that were voted in on Tuesday, I do hope they bring their larger caliber pistols with them!

Actually Mary Landrieu came out first in her election, but under the Louisiana system will go into a runoff.

Historically accurate though -- as long as there have been these two parties, whichever one holds the White House almost always loses ground in the mid-terms. There have been three exceptions since the Civil War. What would have been news would be if that did not happen. It's well-established pattern.

The Senate rarely changes leadership. Obama's policies were behind these losses. Consider getting a yellow lab puppy.

So, in Reagan's 6th year midterms when he lost 8 Senate seats, that was America rejecting his policies from the previous 6 years?

 

[Synthaholic]

Here's another excuse for losing the mid-term:

The President was locked up in the White House and was unable to get out to defend his policies.

That's the main reason for the loss: Democrats in red states that didn't vote for Obama followed the polls instead of moving the polls.

 

[Synthaholic]

How could you be bothered by this election when you were confused enough to vote for Obabble back in 08?

Yes, because Sarah Palin being a heartbeat away from the presidency was the clear choice when the country is on the brink of collapse.

Dumbass.

It was pretty much in keeping with history. No Liberals were voted out, only Republican-Lite in states that Obama didn't win, anyway, except for CO.

NC
AR
LA
KY
GA
AK



OTOH, Jeane Shaheen embraced Obama and his policies and won.

So it's not a repudiation of Obama in any way. It's a repudiation of Democrats trying to distance themselves from all the success of the Obama terms, in an effort to endear themselves to wingnuts, while alienating their base.

this O>P> is hilarious. TWILIGHT ZONE time.

 

[BULLDOG]

I acknowledge your surrender, subversive!

Claim victory and run and hope nobody noticed that your claim of Mexican shoot on sight policy just isn't true. Typical teabagger.

You keep saying we are teabaggers, we how did it feel to get teabagged last Tuesday? I'm sure you enjoyed it, you surely talk about it enough.

yep, teabagged the hell out them RIGHT out of Power and they ain't liking it much...
way to go ALL YOU, TEABAGGERS

So you do embrace the term.

No, actually the name was the tea party or tea party patriots. It was the democrats that came up with tea baggers, trying to demean us. The funny part is your party is so stupid that calling us the tea baggers, mean that our opponents are the ones that get tea bagged. Lol, and actually it shows that you really don't care about morality, because you know kids will eventually ask the question. What does it mean to be teabagged?

You mean like they did when the right wing was on the news every night for months talking about oral sex?

All of these Senators/Candidates were Blue Dog Democrats who ran from Obama and his policies, which is why they lost.

You dumb ass Kay Hagan was a liberal that won on the coat tail of obama in 2008 so your attempt to deflect the ass kicking the dems got last Tuesday is a big fat fail.

She's a conservative Democrat.

What's her position on the 2nd? On coal and energy?

And you are correct: a lot of these losers were elected riding Obama's coattails in 2008. They would never have won them without Obama.

Except for Colorado, every state with a losing Democratic Senator voted against Obama in 2012.

This was no shock.

But in 2016, all the Republican Senators who won in the 2010 election are up again in Blue states. Ayotte & Rubio are two of them.

She voted 95% of time with obama.
THE CALL: As far as it goes, the 95 percent claim gets a green light on our fact-checking scale. Of course, so does Hagan's claim to be ranked "the most moderate senator." Voters would be well served to gather some more context before deciding whether either of those measures are meaningful.

Only an idiot and a complete dupe would call Mary Landrieu "republican-lite'.

If you can't get over this, you need to buy a great Louisiana product:

She's a conservative Democrat.

If she IS a Blue Dog then she will need to show it. Alas I am far from convinced.

You do understand that it was indeed a landslide?? Obama put his cred on the line and the Pubbies trashed it. Now do you understand this: are you a libtard or a Blue Dog?? If you're a libtard then frankly you're full of it. If you're a Blue Dog then Ma'am; ffs WIN BACK CONTROL OF YOUR PARTY!!!! There is NOTHING wrong with the Blue Dog Dem: OK I disagree on some of their policies but so what? I also disagree with some Pubby ones. But the "I hate America" libtards have stolen your once great Party. Your question: are you a thief or are you demanding restorative justice???

And forget the glib stuff; answer please.
