[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no hope for the Democrats.  A new guy tried to replace that witch Pelosi as the house democratic leader but got slapped down.  The democratic party is run by loons and post-menopausal overprivileged lazy old crones.

The Democrats have no bench.  No young bloods, at least none who aren't far left loons.

Trump is going to cement Republican control with his trillion dollar infrastructure project.  It will be a master stroke.  He will put conservatives on the Supreme Court.

Who will be the next DNC chair?  Screamin' Howard Dean again?  Contrast with Reince Priebus.  Young and energetic.

A younger generation has to take over the Democratic Party for anything to change.  70 year old retread feminists aren't the answer.

Find a candidate who is actually appealing, and you might have a shot.[/quote]

Yup thats what everyone thought about the republicans in 2008. The republicans were left for dead after a deep recession and democrats won a filibuster proof majority in the senate and big majority in the house.

In a two party system, things go in circle. Governance is not easy and it is impossible to keep everyone happy no matter what you do. Afterall Gore lost during a booming economy and Hillary lost in an economy with less than 5% unemployment.

The point being there are so many variables, most of which is not under the control of a party or a presidential candidate. Anyone thinking otherwise is just delusional especially when the guy coming in is trump. You are making this bet on a man who can't even control even hold himself for longer than few minutes to hold the party, government, country and the world together for 3 years. You do realize he actually is starting with 2% and 3 million vote deficit? So he has to earn those 3 million votes to break even. Then he has to keep his voters in 4 states which he won by less than 1% avg happy by bringing back manufacturing jobs in less than 3 years. Then he should not be chased by scandals, foreign policy mistakes, random event, a recession or other untoward incidents. And btw YOU guys are the owners of the swamp now and can no longer point fingers at the other party.
