...they lost the Senate, a few more seats in the House and additional governorships. They came on with the same old strategy, but this time they went down with it. Obama and the Democrats chose not to defend the administration's record of the last six years. On foreign policy, no Democratic chorus seconded Obama's 2013 claim that this chaotic period in world affairs has been the most stable time in recent memory. No Democratic senator insisted that Obama's Russian reset had calmed Vladimir Putin. Democrats did not argue that Obama had rightly distanced the U.S. from Israel. Could Democratic candidates have pointed to the Middle East -- the Iranian bomb-making efforts, the civil war in Syria, the collapse of post-surge Iraq, the rise of the Islamic State -- to confirm Obama's diagnosis that these were mostly manageable problems?
The ones who didn't run -- John Kerry, Hitlery Clinton, etc -- doubled down, which shows what they plan to do in 2016. Everything that happens because of Obama will be ignored, anything minor, real or imagined (overturned trash can in a national park on up) will be the fault of the Republican Party, the "extreme right wing of the Republican Party", the "extreme right", the "Tea Party Republican extremism", "anti-immigrant racism", "homophobia", etc.

Thanks Kaslin.

I guess "triangulation" is not in vogue anymore.

Hillary will be going after her far left women as her main constituency.

Triangulation is what saved Bill Clinton. Today's Dems are toast.
