Upset over Trump’s victory, grassroots Democrats enlist in nationwide efforts to swing special House elections, state contests and mayoral races; Republicans dig in, citing a lack of results so far.

These people think after one election the failure of the Obama administration will have been forgotten. A variety of political 'crimes' needed special prosecution: Benghazi,
Fast and Furious
Lois Lerner
Hillary Clinton;
Erick Holder;
Susan Rice;
Misspent Billions of taxpayer dollars on half a dozen green companies who were doomed to fail BEFORE they got their loans;accounting for Fannie May & Freddie Mac returns?
Releasing 5 top criminals from Guantanamo in exchange for"Bowe" Bergdahl, a deserter...whose father became a Muslim;
Obama's unconstitutional EOs by going around congress;
Obama's intrusion into Black crimes...who is the racist here?

There is so much more to remind the People how inept and corrupt the Progressive party is...how they have allowed themselves to be turned into "undemocratic" people by the far Left, i.e. the hand off of this election was turned into hate, vitriol and an agenda to get President Trump impeached as soon as possible...that is a fact.

Remember John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Shelia Jackson Lee, Clair McCaskill, Barbara Boxer gave a litany of lies about President Trump....the list goes on and on....The Progressive party reelected Nancy Pelosi, another liar...the Far Left likes Nancy because she is a tool they can use in their ideology. Don't forget those who boycotted support for Trump, all disrespectful of the Constitution.

Excuse the rant but don't let the Left get away with infractions in the coming election.

A waste of money, but I guess if it makes them feel better... I don’t think it’s going to help them though

“Newly energized”???

Lefties have been and continue to be psychotic, violent, amoral, and idiotic. How do they think that getting even more in our faces will translate to votes from the majority of this country which is not all of those things?

Yep. The citizens of Berlin were “newly energized” in 1945 when they heard the Soviet guns.

Add in Harry Reid, Senator Menedez and John Podesta to those who need prosecution.

They’ll pat themselves on the back and feel energized after Georgia, where their one candidate is facing multiple Republican opponents. The vote splitting should cost the GOP the seat. If not, the Democrats are in real trouble.

Yeah, the libs lost that election yesterday by 7 and they're running around claiming it's Great Victory because they got beat by 20 there in the GE.

Kansas knew the seat was safe and the turnout was low.

That kind of turnout isn't going happen in a GE.

Libs are sniffing unicorn dust again.

Well, if I were a Dem pol with some sense (not commonplace these days, but...), I would realize that my team is kaput: no one to put on the field at the big league, and very few in the pipeline.

I would begin a rebuilding process that might take a generation. Start with local races: get progressives who are willing to act like moderates to run in purple and even red state mayoral and county races, and state legislatures. Then groom people for Congress and governorships, hoping to turn those around in about ten years, and then have Senators and Governors who will be able to run effectively for the White House by 2028 or 2032.

It would take time, but progressives have been “transforming” America for over a hundred years now, so another 20 or 30 to get us to Socialist Paradise is just a little slower than they would like, but not unacceptable, from their perspective.

“Newly Engergized!?!?” Like they were in Wisconsin when Scott Walker won and implemented his policies. Oh please!!! Call me skeptical. When the hell aren’t the liberals rioting, marching, going door to door to register the illegal alien population and dead.

Memo to WSJ, there is a difference between being energized and being obnoxious. The left has done nothing, nada to annunciate policies that will win back the voters they have alienated. When they come up with a message, any message, even if BS then I will be concerned. There current message comprises more of the same, namely:

“You stupid bastards, vote for us because Trump sucks. Why aren’t you stupid bastards getting it!?!?”
