Analysis: Bevin Win in Kentucky Underscores Decimated Democratic Party Under Obama
2015-11-05
Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy.

#5  Political fortunes wax and wane. Dems are down now, and will be up again at some point. But the changes Obama is making will be here forever.

#4  Let them have the big cities states as long you get 3/4th of the rest of the country. Make it the long march of the abolitionists (the hell with tea).

The Dems are saving all their ammo for next year.

The Dems aren't at all concerned with this. They are keeping their powder dry and saving all of their ammo for a giant push next year to get Hillary elected president.

They have made the calculation that a Hillary presidency will result in two and possibly three Supreme Court appointments, which will accomplish several things for them:

1. Effective annulment of the Second Amendment, opening the door for gun confiscation

2. Permanently cementing casual abortion on demand as one of the most sacred sacraments of the land.

3. Protecting public sector paychecks and pensions from any attempt at reduction and reform.

4. Massive empowerment of the EPA to regulate and run private property.

These things mean ever so much more to the Dems. And there are only about 30-50 counties in the U.S. whose outcomes will actually be up for grabs in a way to determine who wins the election. The Dems, along with their IT industry and financial industry oligarch supporters, are prepared to spend a billion or more dollars in those three or four dozen counties in advertising, community activism, and outright bribes to make Hillary president.

Good job winning these state elections but the Dems don't even care. They are swinging for the fences.
