Has Obama Destroyed the Democrat Party?

[The Rabbi]

The Democrats are in bad shape today. That much is obvious. They lost Congress by record amounts over the last two election cycles. They dont control a single state government from NC to AZ. Their best hope for president is an old woman already caught in a lie about her two devices and a looming scandal about deleted emails. And there is no second choice there.
The Obama/Pelosi/Reid troika destroyed younger Democrats in Congress, forcing them to vote on things like Obamacare (most of those who voted for it left or were kicked out in the next 2 election cycles), leaving a void in party leadership. Obama's jihad against Israel has alienated Jewish voters, an important Democrat base. The party seems out of ideas, except spending more money for free shit for people.
Can the democrats reform themselves and move to the center to attract more votes? Or will they be relegated to the fringe party, the party of gay marriage and free stuff?

No, but soon they will change their name to the Communist Party. Now that they have half of the country dependent on government they don't have to hide their true beliefs any longer.

The Demise of the White Democratic Voter

It has not escaped the notice of political analysts that 72 percent of whites without college degrees — a rough proxy for what we used to call the white working class — believe that “the U.S. economic system generally favors the wealthy.” Or that on Nov. 4, these same men and women voted for Republican House candidates 64-34.

Similarly, the overwhelmingly white electorates of Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota voted decisively in referendums to raise the minimum wage while simultaneously voting for Republicans, whose party has adamantly rejected legislation to raise the minimum wage.

Mid-terms 1930, Mid-terms 1958, Mid-Terms 1974.....

Actually, most of them stayed home.

YOu guys keep mistaking the Apathy of 2014 for a mandate.

Seems to me that both parties are in disarray right now.

Also, I suspect that if Warren were running for President the party would be VERY energized and focused.

Well, she's not.

Now, what I could see happen is that when the Establishments of both parties impose Hillary and Jeb, you could see a Perot- like figure run a third party candidacy that will get lot of votes, but that'll probably hurt the Republicans more than the Democrats.

If the party is in disarray, how could that be possible? You contradict yourself. How unusual.

36% VT in 2014.

Mid-terms have no predictive ability for the next presidential GE. This point has been hammered home many times over, by me, personally, right here in USMB.

The only reason the left won in 2014 is because there is such a low voter showing at the polls every mid term election cycle.

Dims don't vote unless it is for president. After all, the President runs everything now via edict. No one ever challenges him in any way anymore, as he can essentially ignore Congress entirely.

So why be bothered voting for anyone else? It's not like the GOP has done anything to challenge Obama since being elected.

Not to worry, once he Dims blow the election horn the drone, brain dead, faithful will heed the call to come vote "D".

Oh, I forgot to mention, we will be electing the first woman president!

Yay! It will be another first. I'm so exited I could pee my pants.

I have no idea, but, do you walk to work, or do you take your lunch? If you had it and didn't want it, would you give it away? If you looked out your window and saw two ducks with a duck behind, two ducks with a duck in front, and two ducks with a duck in the middle, how many ducks do you see?

Tune in tomorrow to find out if it was actually Lucy or Fred that got a pink cake for their birthday.

Dafuck is the "Democrat Party"?
