I'm talking about the behavior of people ta the top. And group with tens of millions of people in it, is going to have bad people. That says nothing about the group, unless the group is provoking the bad behavior.

Trump does some of that, I would bet he's responsible for some barroom brawls. Al Sharptons words have put multiple innocent bystanders in the grave, and the left gives him his own TV show.

People see it, Paul. It's why Trump got elected, and it's why under obama's watch the democrats took an historic drubbing at all levels, it's exactly why the GOP controls the oval office, both houses of congress, and a huge majority of state governorships and legislatures. The proof is in the pudding.

The only reason why the left matters right now, is because they control the media and academia, and they were brilliant to seize those institutions. Absolutely brilliant. They may prevail because of it. As of now, they have a long, LONG way to go.

Republicans want to talk about the merits of their ideas, because they are confident their ideas are the right ideas. Democrats want to call us all racist, that's their go-to response. It's the last play of the desperate.

I'm sure you would be.

Spence, why did your party get its azz so resoundingly kicked, at all levels, during the Obama years?

Lemme guess...racism? Hate? Or was it because people like me got tired of being slandered, tired of being painted so dishonestly?

You mean those years where the Democratic Party held the presidency for two terms, the Senate more than half the time and a higher number of Governors more than half the time?

Yes, resoundingly kicked in deed.

The democrats lost almost 1,000 seats (at the national, state, and local level) during his 8 years. I see you left out state legislatures and the house of representatives, can't imagine why. I guess those don't matter...

House was flat. As for local stuff I see you're not posting any data.

Dems controlled the house after the 2008 election, and had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. I have no idea what you are talking about, you're just making up jibberish now.

"I see you're not posting any data'

Even as biased as you are, I assumed you already knew this. But OK...

https://www.npr.org/2016/03/04/46905...ency-heres-why

Here's a quote from the above NPR article, is that too right wing for you?

"Every president sees his party lose hundreds of positions — it's the price a party holding the White House pays — but no president has come close to Obama. During Obama's eight years in office, the Democrats have lost more House, Senate, state legislative and governors seats than under any other president.

When Obama took office, there were 60 Democratic senators; now there are 46. The number of House seats held by Democrats has shrunk from 257 to 188.

There are now nine fewer Democratic governors than in 2009. Democrats currently hold fewer elected offices nationwide than at any time since the 1920s."

Spence, you said the house seats were flat under Obama, NPR says the democrats dropped from 257 to 188. I don't know how good or bad you are at math, but in your world, does 257 = 188??


Have fun with that. And the NPR stats DON'T take into account the 2018 thumping.

Not your best showing Spence, not your best showing...
