    I love it when the left says Hillary won the popular vote. Of course she's popular in California, New York and Massachusetts, there is tons of free stuff just waiting to be had in those states. You can tell the author of the article is on the right track, one only needs to look at the down ticket elections from November. If the election was "stolen" why then did the Democrats only pick up 2 seats in the Senate and 6 in the House of Representatives. The Democrat party is sinking into the tar pits like a stuck Woolly Mammoth, the temper tantrum they are having over their loss of the White House isn't helping much. What they do over the next 6 months will determine their fate for a generation to come.

    The Democrats continue to do what they did trying to get Hillary elected with the same old people. As a result, they are self destructing. The more they scream and riot, the worse they become in the eyes of those that work and vote. Hillary ignored the working middle class and it bit her in her big fat azz. They have learned nothing and will continue to self destruct.

    Really? For every single election cycle for the rest of eternity?

    I always chuckled at how dems would brag about the changing demographics of the country as if it matters.

    Do you not know what the word "permanent" means?

    You're the one that brought it up. Are you now going to argue against your own OP?

    They chose to sacrifice the moral high ground for a single win, and they lost both.

    I knew they were going to have a hard time accepting DJT's win, but I didn't think it would be THIS bad, to be honest. They STILL have not learned that the constant rhetoric full of vitriol is one of the things that cost them the election, they continue to do it. Trying to shout down anyone who voices opposition, assaulting people, blocking traffic, rioting. People are just sick and damn tired of it all. All most normal people want to do is get up everyday and go to work in peace and take care of their families. Until they get their (*)(*)(*)(*) together they will continue to lose seats in the government and rightfully so.

    I do. Any they will permanently lose unless they change course.

    But their own hubris and "fake news" bubble compels them not to.

    Im cool with it.

    Not to mention, midterms are historically pretty bad for Democrats.

    Here's to a filibuster-proof majority in 2018, and we can finally repeal Obamacare! :clapping:

    (if the Republicans don't flake...)

    Many lefties don't even know why they are arguing. They just start saying things.

    Reminds me of this.

    Okay, because your previous post demonstrated a clear misunderstanding of the word "permanent". I don't like it when people move goalposts like you just did.

    LOL, what? Since when do "Professor Peabody" and "SuperfluousNinja" look ANYTHING like each other??

    They will lose unless they change course. Is this hard to understand?

    So you don't realize how "at least for the next one" is a different statement from "until the end of time"?

    I am not so sure,for the GOP is in a bad way as well. The establishment GOP which is the GOP got beat along with the dems. Trump, because he ran as a change candidate, as evidenced in his inauguration address where he blasted the treason of DC, is NOT the GOP. He has little in common with them, given that the GOP is an open borders free trade globalist party. Once trump is gone, the GOP will not change, but will be back to selling out americans. If the DP had any sense they would bring back the party of FDR. But they have sold their souls to the same elites that owns the GOP.

    I propose a deal:

    We'll give the Democrats 100% of the vote in NY, CA, MA, IL, and MN.

    We'll take 60% of the vote in the other 45 states.

    Mmmmmhmmmm. I did. One person said "they seem determined to fail every election cycle." And this thread is titled "permanent minority" party. So that is the logical follow-through.

    This actually happened. That's why the Skankipotimus didn't win the election. Three large states of fail (CA, NY, and "ILL-i-noise) do not speak for most of America. And this is why the left is so hell bent on shifting demographics with 3rd world immigrants, in the hope they can grab and maintain power. It's so effing obvious. They will overlook and even try to skirt laws that deal with immigration, proof of citizenship for voting, and outright voter fraud. They howled like a wounded buffalo when the Skank got outed for rigging the Dim primary. Yet they shouted election interference from foreign nations.... when in fact had they not been the corrupt machine they are, moot point.

    Both the Dims and the GOP better be on board with cleaning house and getting their affairs in order, because aside from urban rats hell bent on destroying America, the mainstream citizens are fed up with both party's BS.

    My qualifier was referring to if they do not change course. And they don't want to.

    Almost like the left is set on driving into a wall.

    Its to America's gain, though. So it works for me.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Its lefty logic. Come on out of that bubble one day.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Very much agree.

    Enough of politicians looking out for themselves at America's expense.

    That alone is bad news for lefties.
