The Left loves to pretend they are the party in power. That has not been the case since 2010. The 2016 election disaster was not the beginning of the end for the Dems, not all. Instead, they have been out of power since 2012, if you count state houses occupied (31 governors), and the total number of state and local positions flipped (800) from Democrat to Republican.
Since and including Reagan, the GOP has won 6 of 10 presidential contests, and out scored the Dems in the Electoral College 2834 to 2364 during that same period of time.
And 2018 promises to be another disaster. If Trump actually is able to accomplish his two year plan including tax reduction for the middle (voting) class, the GOP could take a super-majority in the Senate in that mid-term.
No need for gloating. Now is the time to double down and bury the European Socialists among us. They have been on the run for 6 of the past 8 years, and will remain on the "outs" as long as Barack and the old people in the Democrat Party remain in leadership.
1) Republicans have lost the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 elections.
ReplyDelete2) Since 1992, Democratic White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 7.1 million votes while Republican White House winners have won the popular vote by an average of 84,000 votes.
3) The less-than-500 counties that Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64% of America's economic activity in 2015. The more-than-2,600 counties that Trump won combined to generate only 36% of the country's economic activity last year. Clinton, in other words, carried nearly two-thirds of the American economy.
4) The future favors Democrats - the under 30 vote was won convincingly by Clinton 55 -37%, in a year with poor turnout
Keep living in the world of "who gives a crap." Specifically, who cares if you have won more popular votes in New York and California than the GOP. Where does that get you? Losing 6 of the past 10 elections.
DeleteYOU ARE NOT IN POWER. That is the most important point, here.
Bill was a decent president. Barack was as lawless a president as we have ever had . . . . . and he has no "coat tails" when not on the ballot. Nothing but a liar Marxist and now he is gone, and gone without a legacy.
If the Trump Populists go into the inner cities and come out with improved black and Hispanic voting participation, you all will not win another election in your life time.
