[A CA Guy]

Good point?

[Ted Grant]

I think carting out stale, dull relics like Pelosi and Schumer reciting outdated talking points is a path to nowhere for the democrats.

Look at how ineffective the Republicans were by carting out stale, dull relics reciting outdated talking points.

The Democrats Brain implant is malfunctioning ,must be cheap Chinese electronics

[Buckeye McFrog]

Easily cured with three little words....Student Loan Forgiveness.

Don’t underestimate how many will crawl over broken glass to vote for THAT.

[CMailBag]

All the Democrats have is HATE and that is hard to maintain long term.

[Balding_Eagle]

Trump needs to stop doing token deportations or his support will drop precipitously.
No more 300 PER WEEK. We need that many EACH HOUR

"Why Experts Say Democrats Are Still “Screwed”...."

.... HA .... are you kidding me .... Don't forget folks that the Republicans have an incredible, almost superhuman, penchant and ability to pull Defeat from the Jaws of Victory!!! I don't believe for one minute that the Democrats are screwed. Never underestimate the strength and cunning of your enemy. Especially if you yourself are extremely dysfunctional.

Article’s lead photo is of Chuckie S. and Nancy P., and that tells most of the story.

[Westbrook]

+1

Never underestimate the enemy.

[Bob434]

experts also declared trump would lose in a landslide

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yup. If they manage to stumble upon the right Free Sh** Salesman we’re going to have our hands full (Exhibit A; Barack Hussein O.)

[Redbob]

I especially liked this quote from Dartmouth political scientist Brendan Nyhan: she said,

"It will be fun to cover the Democratic civil war for a change. It's hard to underestimate how screwed the Democrats are."

[Jean2]

Also never underestimate the stupidity of the GOPe.

[Redbob]

Too right.
As long as the GOP “leadership” includes the likes of John McLame and Lindsay Graham, the Dims have no corner on the “stupid” market.

[Jolla]

Everything changes, we Americans are always reinventing our country, Pelosi and Schumer are proof. Yes, the dems will not listen and will continue down the road with their one trick pony.

[alloysteel]

Some 95% of all the personal woe in this world is self-induced.

Maybe 5% is because you get in the way of somebody else’s tantrum. But a lot of it just boils down to misdirected emotions.

[edh]

“Also never underestimate the stupidity of the GOPe.”

So very true.

If the GOP were a party that fights like Dems, the Dems would be toast. By that, I mean completely done for. Destroyed. Eradicated. Regionalized. That party is a complete disaster right now and could be completely destroyed if GOP leadership was effective.

The GOP has the ability to beat the Democratic Party in 2018 ... if they were to increase their control of the Senate to 60 seats (which is NOT out of the realm of possibility), the Democratic Party would start to eat itself and sanity would be restored to the Republic ... while the Dems are busy killing each other, their money would start to dry up and they would not be able to mount an effective campaign during the 2020 POTUS election.

However, I am not seeing one damn thing being done by House and Senate leadership to make this a reality. Nothing. They’ve done token favors thus far, but they are clearly more interested in maintaining a status quo vs. overhauling the FedGov and giving back power to the states ... you know, things they spew on the campaign trail, but fail to do once elections are over. I guess that’s not “stupidity” ... it’s more by design.

Hopefully Trump can break the back of the uniparty ... it’s still very early to ascertain if that’s going to happen.

Democrats Flipped Zero Seats in Four Recent Blue State Special Elections

This latest Democrat slaughter occurred after DNC newbie Perez bragged Democrats would show that their resistance to Trump could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states Hillary (cough) "won" in the 2016 presidential election.

(cue hysterical laugh machine)

===========================================

2016 election map---Democrats are learning to swim underwater.

==================================================

(HAT TIP DEROY MURDOCK NYPOST 12/26/16)

EXCERPT-----As President Obama concludes his reign of error, his party is smaller, weaker and ricketier than it has been since at least the 1940s. Behold the tremendous power that Democrats have frittered away — from January 2009 through the aftermath of Election Day — thanks to Obama and his ideas:

•Democrats surrendered the White House to political neophyte Donald J. Trump.

•US Senate seats slipped from 55 to 46, down 16 percent.

•US House seats fell from 256 to 194, down 24 percent.

•Democrats ran the Senate and House in 2009. Next year, they will control neither.

•Governorships slid from 28 to 16, down 43 percent.

•State legislatures (both chambers) plunged from 27 to 14, down 48 percent.

•Trifectas (states with Democrat governors and both legislative chambers) cratered from 17 to 6, down 65 percent.

” stale, dull relics like Pelosi and Schumer:?
Ohhh Nooo Ted.
as a lifelong conservative and republican I find Pelosi and Schumer inspiring and inspirational.
Their youthful exuberance have almost led me to see the light of liberal big gub mint horse crap.;
Ok, maybe not.
