Democrats got pounded in 94 losing the congress and that didn’t slow them down one bit or change their goals
Democrats didn’t start murdering babies just to get votes. They won’t give up murdering babies just because they lose some votes.
Besides, we didn’t get baby murder through the electoral process, anyway.
In the end, it was Democrat voters that stopped Hillary twice; first in the 2008 primaries when they selected Otoken instead, and recently when they either stayed home or voted for Trump in states she needed to win.
Hillary didn’t lose because Texas went for Trump (though kudos to them for their part in it!)...
Hillary was a very flawed candidate. But they didn’t see it; to paraphrase Hillary, why wasn’t she 50 points ahead??? To the liberals, the prospect of a Trump presidency should have been enough to make people vote for Hillary by default.
One of them is this (it looks like two, but it's really just one):
You can learn a lot from failure, and the more painful the failure, the more you can learn.You can learn a lot from success too, but the problem with success is that it's too easy to spin; it's human nature to tend to amplify your role in success, and ignore the role of other factors and other contributors.
BTW, I used the word "can" when I stated my lesson very deliberately. You can learn a lot from failure, if you try. There is no guarantee that a particular person will learn anything from failure. If you don't want to learn from your failures, you won't. And you will keep failing.
So if you adhere to a philosophy — an ideology — that teaches that you are singled out by society for unfair treatment because of something you were born with, the only thing you will learn from failure is to cling to your failure ideology more tenaciously.
Apparently many Democrats DID see it, and either voted against her or not at all.
Many of the people that voted for her did so BECAUSE of her flaws; they often represented the special interests that were bribing her. A Democrat could be convicted of child rape and still carry the teachers’ union votes...
Reality sucks...
Perseverance is such an endearing virtue - if it is still tempered with some semblance of good sense. But where does perseverance end and plain stubbornness set in? And at what point does it descend into madness?
Insanity, it is said, is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. This kind of ingrained obsessive-compulsive behavior, uncontrollable recurring thoughts and behaviors, and the urge to repeat the actions over and over, leads to almost complete isolation from the human race, and a seriously dysfunctional situation.
It is one thing when an individual does this, another entirely when a sizable part of the population falls into the grips of this state of near paranoia.
Question - do we intervene, and risk the undying wrath of somebody, or some demographic, that does not WANT to change, or do we allow them to continue in their folly, in the hopes they shall at some future time regain a modicum of relatively disentangled thinking?
IOW,Term Limits Forever.Congress should consist of people who are there to serve, not to be served. They should have lavish housing and expense allowances because they have to live in Washington D.C. temporarily. Washington must not be their home, and legislating must not be their profession.The minimum age of 35 should apply to Congressmen; for presidents the minimum should be 45.
I think they have learned but they are incapable of changing. They will continue to try to force the country to change in the name of "progress".
There's a lesson that we need to learn here too though. In every election, the American people are presented with a choice between two parties and if you have failed them, they will FU and that's what the Dems will be waiting for. They won't change, they'll just wait.
Democrats on a severe losing streak since 2010?
Yeah, tell me about it.
Federal spending? Up every year.
Federal debt? Up every year.
Federal regulations? Up every year.
Cultural and moral collapse? Ongoing, and picking up speed.
Massive legal and illegal immigration? Ongoing, and picking up speed.
GOP presidential candidates who got at least 51% of the Popular Vote since 1988?
No GOP candidate has received 51% since 1988. Trump will get a smaller share of the Popular Vote than Mitt Romney.
The author is talking about election wise
It is difficult to understand how the national GOP won so much with the likes of McConnell, Ryan, Corker, etc. It can only be as Hunter writes,
“In many cases, Republicans won simply because they were running against Democrats.”
It is even more difficult to understand Hunter’s statement about Obama:
“He is personally popular, but what he stands for is ants at a picnic.”
The statement is true and the description apt. I have seen liberals around me comment recently “I still think he’s a great guy”; what?
Obama is a ‘smooth operator’.
> “If you thought electing Trump and retaining Republican control of government was the end of the fight, sorry to wake you; Democrats are out there ready to strike, and Republicans are ready to be Republicans again. This election was a game-changer with important lessons to learn. And there’s every reason to believe elected officials from both parties didn’t learn a damn thing.”
Hence, the timely deliverance of Donald Trump’s call to pass a Constitutional Amendment for Term Limits (which is only possible via my tagline).
Bears repeating.

Especially after the GOP almost immediately began backtracking under withering attacks from the Mainstream pressholes and became the new big government party.
This actually was the founding of the Uniparty we see today.
Gop now has a president and majorities in house, senate, governors and state legislatures from day 1. Reagan’s landslide didn’t matter as much because he still had to deal with Tip O’Neill on everything
Yup. I doubt that either side learned much of anything. Especially our side. You can rest assured that the damned fools running the GOP will be looking to get us involved in some other foreign war within a few years. For children.
