Losing the House was not a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats.
Losing the Senate was not a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats.
Losing the White House was not a repudiation of Obama and the Democrats.
Only holding 16 governor’s positions while the Republicans hold 33, was not a repudiation of the Democrats.
Passing tax cuts was not a repudiation of the Democrats.
Cutting unemployment numbers for minorities and women to the lowest ever was not a repudiation of the Democrats.
Gosh, the Democrats are just mopping the floor with us.
There is no compensation for coming in second in a political confrontation.
Therefore, never admitting to having being bested is the first line of defense for the scoundrel, but hurling charges of “Unfair! Foul! Cheat! Liar!” are no substitute for actually winning. The next stage is to sabotage, obfuscate, and slow-walk any pressing business to which there is some benefit to the winner, but this carries a set of risks of its own. Trying to defeat an active and positive agenda with pouting, tantrums and a generally negative attitude never worked for long with a four-year-old child, and it won’t work for the Democrats.
You cannot beat something with nothing. Or somebody with nobody.
