Politico ^ | March 12, 2014 | Natalie Villacorta

Posted on 03/12/2014 6:10:49 AM PDT by Biggirl

Former White House senior adviser David Alexrod said Wednesday that the lesson to take away from the special election in Florida’s 13th District is that problems with Obamacare motivated the Republican base and that Democrats need to figure out how to fire up theirs — minorities and young people.

PREDICTION: The 2014 midterms will make 2010 look like a day at the beach. Growing angry out there folks. Mark my words.

The Demonrats had it figured out in 2012.

The ONLY reason it was close is the Libertarian took 10% of the vote!

“And that’s exactly what the dems will be doing in November... tipping close races by paying “libertarians” to siphon off votes from GOPers.”

EXACTLY

Minimum wage increase and immigration are the ways the Dems are using to fire up their base.

And a generous serving of vote fraud.

“Four words.....STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROPOSAL”

Dems must know that is financially unworkable; I expected to see that in 2012 (when Obama had little reason to count on the support of young whites), and it never materialized.

My takeaway, Jolly would not have been the Tea Party folks first choice, but only 5% was wasted on the Libertarian, not to say libertarian views suck, but we are in a death fight right now. No time to check the purity credentials of all those willing to throw in with us

Was he a real Libertarian, or a Democrat stooge?

>And the Libertarian pulled 4.8% of the vote.

All the Republicans need to do is make a PAC ad saying that the Libertarian party strongly stands for the freedom to smoke pot and have some ungainly facts about Obama’s prosecution of pot smokers even though he smoked it as a teen.

Boom, 1/2 the Dem vote gone.

That's easy - just promise more free stuff.
Or they could just come up with another lie - "If you like your [fill in the blank], you can keep ..."

Yep.....here’s the formula that moron David Axelrod is pushing....the same as Alex Sink did....badmouth minorities!!!

Yep.......Dems just get out on the campaign trail and tell the voters that you want to open opportunities for Latinos/Hispanics to become hotel maids or garden landscapers and, for African Americans...shoeshine boys, in a railroad station or on a street corner!!! Shucks....at least it’s better then Obama gives his fellow African-Americans whom he use and abuses, by keeping them tightly locked in economic and job opporunity slavery!!!

Yep.....David Axelrod....you tell them Dem boys & girls.......that’s the way to get support from minoities....just like Alex Sink did!!!

Rand Paul will secure the nomination if he is able to stop Libertarians from running as third party candidates in the 2014 elections.

You are correct about the Dem Libertarian funding strategy. In a normal world where the opposition, The Grand OLD Party, had half a brain we would see money and support being funneled to the Greenies to counter that move.

Alas ...

Doubt it.

Hillary needs a big repub win in November for her the get into the WH in 2016.

Hillary is going to be running on “The Third Way” which means she needs people, mainly the youth vote, to be disillusioned with both sides.

With a repub win, both sides will be seen as the problem because things will not get better in 2015 in fact because of Obamas policies they will get worse.

Dems will blame the repub win and repubs will blame Obama.

Hillary will blame both and fool the “youth” vote into believing A “Third Way” is what we need.
