His plan sounds like a winner (rolling eyes)
Never mind cutting taxes.
JFK ran on it in 1960 and to no one’s surprise - won.
Today Democrats think we’re insufficiently taxed and scheme to come up with more of them.
They think our anemic growth needs to be turned into negative economic growth.
What a winning message.
The guy comes off as reasonable.
Let’s hope Pelosi stays in power!
That’s exactly why changing the chairs on the deck of the Democratic Titanic won’t save the party.
Until it stops inflicting its nutty ideas upon America.
Nancy does nothing but sit back and dream of being Speaker again ,which is a good thing , LOL
No, they lost because obama DID focus on economic issues; Marxists ALWAYS f*** up the economy and Americans are sick of it.
Yeah, sort of like the NFL ratings are down because of the election. Man, Dems are stupid!
They didn’t focus on the economy that they destroyed, yes...
She is an idiot. But ... at least she FIGHTS for her party.
Made Boehner look like a cuckold.
It was your candidate, stupid. For swing voters it came down to the lesser of two evils. Clearly Clinton was more evil.
“Pelosi Challenger: Dems Failed Because We Didn’t Focus on Economy”
Nah, dumb-ox. Dems failed because their candidate is a lifelong criminal!
It’s the culture, stupid.
Dems never win on the economy.
They win on lies and fraud since going back to slavery.
Repubs bad, therefore Dems good.
Dems inside are excepting Bill’s reasons not Hilkary’s.
The democrats focused on the things their leaders care about: allowing men in women’s dressing rooms and restrooms, the gender spectrum at very young ages, #BlackThugsMatter, global warming over jobs, and the fact that the government should run the smallest minutia in our lives. I can’t imagine what went wrong.
He talked with his wife, and he had a child.
Yup, having a CHILD made him pro-choice.
That *totally* makes sense. This guy is some sort of freak of nature.
Every rat I know is an economic illiterate.
Good point, where were the clear thinking Democrats all along? Lock-step with Pelosi. This is one election I can't choose a winner because I'd like to see them stuck with Pelosi and Ryan is probably the best choice for the lucid Democrat.
“You failed because your candidate was a bitter product.”
There’s much truth to this. Dems have backed themselves into a corner. They MUST have huge minority and “oppressed” group turnout and they MUST suppress Reagan Democrat turnout. Both of those must happen and they win. That was the formula in 2012.
But minority and oppressed turnout requires ever increasing identity politics to keep them angry. It requires inciting riots in Baltimore, BLM etc. It requires snowflake safe space riots. It requires ever more hysterical attacks on bad bad white people with trucks. The war on women has to become the nuclear war on women. New oppressed groups have to be brought to the fore and convinced of their hideous victimization—2016 was the year of the tranny. And even that didn’t work this year because riots, ridiculous college nonsense, tranny visits to girls bathrooms and the like just piss off regular Americans and especially Reagan Democrats.
So their hysteria has diminishing returns both ways—the minorities, oppressed, and snowflakes really don’t vote that much even when the dems yell even louder and the Reagan Democrats do when they get annoyed enough. That’s why Trump won the Great Lakes states and the election.
If the dems had run Biden, they would have won. He would have split Reagan Dems with Trump.
Instead of moving to candidates who can actually talk to working class Americans like Biden, the dems are moving to Keith Ellison and Elizabeth Warren. They are so not happening in the Midwest.
