2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe bottom line
After a couple of days of mourning and bashing of teeth, think I realize why things happened the way they did. Why our Democratic candidates ran from the President and why we lost.
I honestly think that the constant intense hatred of Obama by Republicans actually bled over to our candidates. Not in the form of hatred, but in believing he was a failed president
Better be careful who you let influence you or bad things happen!

(3,544 posts)to me the bottom line is the GOP gets to have fun for the next 2 years, mess with Obama, and then try to perform to get shit done and change their approval rating with the public, so they can win in 2016. If they don't perform, they will lose in 2016. Big time.
They've got the ball. They either score, or they fumble and give the ball to the other team. I know where I'm putting my money.

(13,685 posts)The media just raked in some serious money from this campaign season. And look to rake in more in two years. They will not bite the hand that feeds them and the feeders are the third way and the Koch like banksters.
These next two years we, the people, need to be all over the newly established rulers the voters have installed.
And hit the SCOTUS hard, too.
But first we need to replace the local and state party leaders who failed to GOTV this go round. We need fresh people in those positions and they need to be leftists.
DUers should put up a website detailing the activities of McConell etal so we can keep track of their criminal activities and use that come 2016 to make sure he is a 1 term majority leader.
