** - note...I mean to say the White House, the House, and the Senate. Although them having the SCOTUS now will likely make things worse!!

(30,481 posts)The direction you are coming from makes little sense. I say that as someone who believes we should be running stronger progressives. Crist should have tanked under your thoughts.
"Well, HRC is a moderate and a progressive... and that did not win the election." Could be the worst election analysis to date.

Hoover wasn't anywhere near the worst president. He wasn't intellectually malleable enough to recognize that the philosophy he held wasn't working, but he wasn't stupid, craven or evil, like W or Buchanan.

The Dems took the House and Senate in the 2006 elections.

(68,637 posts)They think it is 2006? May I remind you, we took office in January of 2007...and by that spring the economy was already failing and with Bush as president...what could we do? When the Dems (who were hounded because they voted for Tarp) told the president no tarp...he reportedly threatened martial law...yeah and we have spent the last eight years crawling out of the hole that Bush created...if we don't get them in the midterms by taking the Senate then we are pretty much done...especially with the courts.
