At the ballot box, U.S. voters elected Democrats to take back control of the House. In exit polls, voters confirmed what Trump had known all along but what Ryan had refused to deliver on in favor of his conservative beltway platform. American voters for the ninth consecutive month said health care and immigration were the issues that drove them to the polls. Both remain unresolved.

We can complain all we want about Ryan, but the 247 House seats the Republicans held after the 2014 midterms was more than their House strength at any time since the 1940s.

The biggest problem the GOP faces has nothing to do with Ryan. It's that their constituency is so dispersed and varied that it's damn near impossible to come up with an agenda that they can all support.

Take a wealthy suburbanite in the NYC or D.C. area who drives a BMW or Honda SUV, and a Kentucky libertarian with NRA stickers all over his Ford or Dodge pickup truck. These were part of the GOP base for most of the last 25 years, yet there almost no overlap in the priorities they have, and you probably couldn't find three issues where these two voters would agree on a solution.

To be fair, I CANT imagine immigration being an issue for someone and then voting, no matter HOW BAD the R is, for a D.

Healthcare reform yes.

The house #$#$ed up big. Or they accomplished what they want to do, if you go the nefarious route.

But EVEN THEN< what math adds up to the dems doing something BETTER about it since they gave us obamacare?

No, we don’t want to face that the 18 to 30s voted INSANELY against Rs.

And blacks and hispanics might vote more for Trump than they have for Rs in previous Presidential elections...

they ARE STILL TRUE BLUE D’s at every other level of voting.
