Even though registered Democrats far
outnumber the number of registered Republicans in this country, the Democratic
Party is in serious trouble. It seems to
be in total free fall. Can it survive?
When President Obama was elected
President, the democrats were in total control.
They controlled the Congress and the Presidency. They were also in control of many state governors
and state legislatures.
The
Democrats pulled an end run with Obama in 2008 and 2012. Obama won because he was black. He had no qualifications, but he was black
and could give a great speech as long as it was prepared for him. A brilliant campaign slogan of Hope and
Change appealed to a large portion of the population. It said nothing, but individuals could all
hope it meant the change they wanted. Unfortunately,
the change never came.
The Democrats thought they had a slam
dunk with Hillary Clinton for President, but Trump won. Being black had been enough to elect
Obama. They thought being a woman would
pull it off again in spite of her other short comings.
They should have looked at what had
happened since 2009 when Obama took office.
Democrats have lost:
·
14 U.S. Senate seats
·
69 U.S. House seats
·
12 state governors
·
910 state legislator seats
That is more than 1,000 elected
officials that the Democratic Party has lost since Obama took office. It is not all President Obama’s fault. The Democratic Party is just totally out of
touch.
The political elite thought they could
control the media and how the country voted.

The people of this country are fed up
with big government and politics as usual.
They want real change. The
Republican Party has benefited from this feeling of anger since 2009. Trump recognized how determined the public
was for real change before the Republican Party did.
Trump has changed the Republican Party. The Democratic Party will also have to change
to survive, but how will they change?
Liberals are demonstrating in the
streets. Some say this is an attempt to
solidify the Democratic Party. I think
it has just the reverse affect. These
demonstrations continue to divide the country and create more unrest.
Some Democrats want to become the new
Socialist Party. Presidential candidate
Bernie Sanders made a run at this. I
hope this country is too smart to turn socialist. Historically, socialism has never worked for obvious
reasons. Most liberals advocating
socialism have no idea how it will effect their freedoms and quality of
life. A quick look at Cuba should be enough of a reality check.
The Democratic Party needs to listen to all
the people and abandon the liberal Progressive big government ideas. There was a time the Democratic Party did
represent working men and women. That is
certainly not true today, buy maybe they can return to that platform.
I sincerely hope so. I would love to have a Democratic candidate
at the state or federal level that I could vote for.
