It might be a more instructive lesson if properly framed. Act_of_Reparation Jun 2017 #17

It is properly framed TeapotInATempest Jun 2017 #23

I think the loss of democratic seats has much more to do with Citizens United and gerrymandering. BlancheSplanchnik Jun 2017 #70

Yes, and Dems lost seats because they voted for healthcare and saving the economy emulatorloo Jun 2017 #83

I think you've forgotten about the DCCC. Their job is to help elect congressional candidates emulatorloo Jun 2017 #71

Do we add Michelle Obama as a former president, one former primary loss for the previous AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #18

Sure, why not? TeapotInATempest Jun 2017 #26

It would be hugely unusual for a party to run anything but the incumbent for President. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #38

Of course it would be unusual TeapotInATempest Jun 2017 #42

Oh yes. If he'd lost in 2004 there's zero chance he would have run in 2008. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #46

Of course he wouldn't have run again TeapotInATempest Jun 2017 #50

That's a great example, but I think it would tend to support my position. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #56

That's why she formed Onward Together BainsBane Jun 2017 #29

Good, and that's precisely what we need right now. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #40

Why are you assuming she hasn't? She's had amazing liberalprotgs. bettyellen Jun 2017 #49

I'm not assuming, and two people have already mentioned the program she started. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #57

"Times a waisting" wrongly implied she was wasting time. bettyellen Jun 2017 #59

That's criticism I've been repeating of the DNC/party of late. AtheistCrusader Jun 2017 #60

I guess I don't like it when we parrot unfounded criticism. It's not lost on me that many here bettyellen Jun 2017 #62

The only quibble I have with pelosi is the "Impeachment is off the table" remarks re W. Lucky Luciano Jun 2017 #22

I have that same quibble, most definitely TeapotInATempest Jun 2017 #24

Impeachment wouldn't have achieved anything. athena Jun 2017 #36
