Democrats already know that they are going to get creamed in 2014, but 2016 is a problem too. Hillary is going to have to figure out how to decouple and distance herself from the admin of which she was a part, without being deemed a racist by the dem base.
You believe that Democrats believe something is far different than Democrats believing it.

2014 will be a boom year for the GOP. The Democrats are defending too many Senate seats in red states, plus off year elections have become the Republican high water mark, because in lower turn out elections their base vote is more likely to vote.

But using that as a basis for optimism for 2016 is irrational. Those extra 30 or 40 million voters that show up in Presidential elections are heavily minority and overwhelmingly Democrat. For an extra bonus, in 2016 it will be the GOP's turn to defend Senate seats in blue states, so 2014 Senate gains are likely to be lost or trimmed back then.

Wow, you know that some long time democratic operatives have worked for the Clintons prior to working for Obama. You're an intellectual juggernaut.
