Prior to this election Democrats/liberals loved to brag about how the "blue wall" in the electoral college. With Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan flipping red, is the theory dead?

There is much they do not realize about he voters they used to take for granted. Look what it cost them, talk about falling asleep at the switch. Now they will watch 3 conservative SCOTUS judges appointed which will shift this country to the right for decades. Nice job.

Yes, liberalism is dead. Outside of 10 square miles in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles liberalism is dead.

Since Obama took over in 2009, he has done such a bad job, that Americans are so sick of liberalism and liberal media - it's dead. The media still hasn't figured out whatever the media reports, the voters do the opposite.

Since 1-21-2009....The Democrats have lost 11 seats in the Senate.
They have lost 60 seats in the House of Representatives.
They have lost 14 governorships. And there are only four states in this entire country where the Democrats control the governorship and the state legislature, only four out of 50.

Trump has more power than any Republican president in almost 100 years.

They did? I never heard the term until November 10, 2016.

Could you show me some quotes prior to that? Thanks!

Of course not. Put out a candidate that can get a few more votes in Philly, Milwaukee, and Detroit, plus stop the bleeding a bit in the rural white "somewhat liberal" counties like most of southwest Wisconsin, and those states flip back blue. It wouldn't take much. First step is not running a s*** candidate.

There are plenty. The blue wall was discussed a lot here on the boards prior to the election. Just search "blue wall" and plenty will come up I would bump up a bunch of threads for you but that would be annoying to other posters.

All the Democrats candidates are terrible. Nobody could beat Trump in 2020. Bernie Sanders is such a joke, the media would blatantly warn against voting for a socialist.

Then in 2024, Ivanka Trump would beat anyone the Dems have...lol

The walls are on the coasts. The popular vote lead for Clinton is how much now?

The coasts are not walls since they stop nothing. Popular vote is meaningless. Just ask Al Gore.
