Democrats In The Wilderness

[EagleSmack]

Not only in the wilderness , they have no up and comers to take over . They are stuck with a bunch of old white people to lead them out of the wilderness . We have seen how that has been working .

Sanders, Pelosi, Schumer, Warren, Biden... old, Old, OLD. Not to mention completely out of touch with anyone outside of NYC, SF, and LA.

President Donald J. Trump . BOOMer must be having fits .

I doubt we'll hear from him again.

thank the powers that was for the electoral college and the republican system of government
if you can keep it

The Democrats did the same as the Liberals here did under Chretien. They took on the attitude of entitlement and thought they were too powerful to ever be replaced. It almost wiped them out completely at one point.
I imagine even the most complacent can reach a point when they have just 'had enough'.

Exactly what the PC party in NB did under Richard Hatfield. They went from a majority to ZERO seats.


And the PCs under Mulroney. Decimated, with only two sitting MPs. And in fact, the party insiders knew what was coming, that's why none of the obvious choices would run for leader, and Kim Campbell was the sacrificial lamb.


And even under Harper, the entitlement and corruption got to be too much for the voters.


That's where the US system has a useful limitation - two terms for President, that way, there is guaranteed to be some change, even if the same party gets to win.

Don't tell Damngrumpy he thinks that republicans are on their way to the penalty box .

The leadership ran into trouble they have to regroup, remember the Liberal Party of
Canada? Wilderness no they were in the political penalty box and they are government
again. In New Brunswick under Hatfield the Liberals won every seat in the House
they are back in power. And if Trump does not change his ways the Republicans will be
hammered in a few years.
The problem is bigger for Republicans they have some crazy people with ideas that will run
against the mind set of America and if they implement them to satisfy their base the backlash
will be political death as it were.
The beginning of the end will come when they tamper with Obamacare

The republicans have some crazy people? Look at the pictures of the democrat protestors. Those are crazy people and worse they have insane tinhatter ideas.

Mistakes and poor values early in his administration inflicted irreversible damage. When the economic crisis hit, he took sides with the bankers over their victims. The nation still hasn’t recovered.

Just a couple of months into his first term he called a meeting of banking executives. “The president had us at a moment of real vulnerability,” one of them told Ron Suskind in his book Confidence Men.

“At that point, he could have ordered us to do just about anything and we would have rolled over. But he didn’t – he mostly wanted to help us out, to quell the mob.” People lost their homes while bankers kept their bonuses and banks kept their profits.

How Barack Obama paved the way for Donald Trump

Ain't socialism grand?

That is one thing I wouldn't mind seeing in Canada'a new election laws.

With a republican president, I expect them to make gains in 2018 & 2020 just because people vote against the presidential party (at least they have historically).

Not to mention how ridiculously unpopular Trump is...and how that's only going to get worse as debt a deficits soar and the cost of living escalates

So unpopular he was just made President of the United States of America .

...Elected by approximately 25% of elegible voters....many of which held their nose and voted Trump because of crooked Hillary. Face it, the Democrats can run just about anybody in four years and it'll be a cakewalk.

You're having a real tough time accepting this, aren't you?

..... Might make sense for you to hide in the closet for the next 4 years

Damngrumpy! Damngrumpy has been saying the GOP is on it's way to oblivion ever since I've been here. Over and over he has said the GOP is finished and is unfazed by democrat loss after democrat loss. He said the Tea Party would not amount to much and Occupy Wall Street would be a long lasting grass roots movement.

Him more than anyone it would seem. So rattled by this that he's become Flossy's stooge. I'm loving every minute of it.

 

[Cannuck]

You're having a real tough time accepting this, aren't you?

Nope. I fully accept that less than 20% of American voters thought Trump was a good option

he can't
the door locked behind him when he recently outed himself from there
...and the key is on the inside of the lock

 

[EagleSmack]

Indeed. But it is enjoyable to watch.

That's a whole lot of butthurt

You'll get over it.
