How Many, if any, net seats have the Ds lost Since Hillary Lost?

[william the wie]

Theyve lost between 900-1000 seats local, state and national over the last 8 years. The radical fringe has taken over the dem party and they are losing significantly. The dems would start winning back seats if they were running candidates like jim webb.

But can such candidates raise campaign money and win primary races in the modern Democratic party? Obama led a purge in 2008/2010 with some moderates like Biden and Hillary being put in the administration while others like Blanche Lincoln were targeted for removal. Then he worked hard to make sure that the money sources for Ds were all hard left. The far left is now the base of the Democratic Party complete with paramilitary antifas. I don't think they can make it back in current form.

Blanche Lincoln did not lose in the primary in 2010. She lost in the general election.

And Obama supported her.

So what did the Democratic Party establishment do when a Senator who allegedly impedes their agenda faced a primary challenger who would be more supportive of that agenda? They engaged in full-scale efforts to support Blanche Lincoln. Bill Clinton traveled to Arkansas to urge loyal Democrats to vote for her, bashing liberal groups for good measure. Obama recorded an ad for Lincoln which, among other things, were used to tell African-American primary voters that they should vote for her because she works for their interests. The entire Party infrastructure lent its support and resources to Lincoln — a Senator who supposedly prevents Democrats from doing all sorts of Wonderful, Progressive Things which they so wish they could do but just don’t have the votes for.
