The Suicide Queen The Democratic party was rocked recently by the success of Republicans in the midterm elections. But something much bigger just happened, something much worse for the party than a temporary defeat. Permanent damage is being done to the Democratic party. Democrats lost the midterm elections because the party leadership was disorganized and had no coherent agenda. There was no substance at the top.
