A big part of the Republican power has come from opposition to Obamacare. Trumpcare will be run against as well.....we'll see if the Dems can boomerang off of that the way Republicans did Obamacare.
I haven't seen any weakness in Trump's support so I think Dems are being self deluded by their control of the media.
IMO its more a case Dems can't accept the sad truth about their party. Even o/s DC, they are in free fall, with just 1/3rd the governors, and 6x as many states with full GOP control of all chambers vs ones with full Democratic Party control.
The democrat party is too divided between the Bernie supports, the Hillary supporters, and normal people.
Normal people? I think those were the ones that flipped and voted for Trump. I don't see normal in the Colbert types nor the angry mobs or even the snowflakes.
Three millions more people voted for a Democrat over a Republican and your conclusion is that the nation is turning away from the Democratic Party?
.
That entire margin, though, is accounted for solely by the states of New York and California.
More importantly, more people voted Republican for senator and house elections in 2016 than any election in US history.
Democrats still clueless on healthcare. Divided and clueless!
Today on meet the depressed, Barbara boxer held up a stack of papers and ranted about 20 million that gained healthcare with Obamacare. Nobody said THOSE Are going to lose their healthcare.
And what about the remaining $330 million and their healthcare ( the majority of America)?
The do- nothing Femocrats are or were prepared to shoot on their hands and do nothing while 4, now 6 states are losing the only insurer they even have in their state. Virginia is next on the obamacare failure.
More people vote democrat. It happens in presidential elections and state elections, but republican legislators have gerrymandered their way to victory. Democrats took just over 50% of votes in the NC state legislature, yet Rebublicans won 70% of the seats. You racists are more vocal than in years past, but you haven't grown in number.
Took a while to add it all up, but the total of all votes for the house in NC was 2423271 Republican to 2117227 Democrat. That's before even adding in third parties, so Democrats definitely did not take over 50% of the votes.

(If you meant the state house, that's really a silly comparison given that 58 of 120 seats in the state house were uncontested elections in which there was only one candidate to vote for. I'll do the math on the contested elections.)
Contested State House elections were 1,034,190 Democrat to 1,330,871 Republican. That's not even close to 50%

This is the problem the democrat party has. They are in denial that there is even a problem.
33 Gov's are GOP 16 Dem and one independant. 66% GOP. You can't gerrymander a governorship.
29% of hispanics and 8% of Blacks voted for Trump, both improvements over Romney. Are they racists also?
Doesn't mean you can't still work with them.See that is the one thing the republicans don't know how to do ,..............work with someone.....anyone.
Like Obama worked with us? <sarcasm>
Funny how the left refused to hear the people when the left was in power now that the right is in power, they scream... please work with the us. Leftism has turned me off to Democrats, get control or oust your extremist. There are other people trying to support their families beside the poor or elite.
Democrats are still the only party representing the working class.
Just look at what the Trump administration is planning to do to these poor souls.
.
No they're not. Their the party that "uses" the poor to give more power to the elite and uber rich. If you believe that not to be true, ask yourself this... after 8 years of Obama why are the poor and the working class still struggling?
Over the last three decades the Democratic party has been taken over by Washington based fundraisers, bundlers, analysts, and pollsters who have focused instead on raising campaign money from corporate and Wall Street executives and getting votes from upper middle-class households in “swing” suburbs.
One reason is that the Democratic Party has become everything it once loathed and was against...elitist, globalist, interventionist, self-serving, warmongering and overflowing with hubris.. In years past, the Democratic Party presented itself as the party of "the working people" against the business interests of banks and corporations.
The current version of the Democratic Party has embraced big banks, financiers, billionaires and corporations, cozying up to Big Money for hundreds of millions in campaign contributions and Super-PAC funding.
As for supporting "the working people"--Hillary's comment about "deplorables" summed up the unspoken view of the Democratic Party elites.
The Dems are violently against everything I stand for God, family and country. I'm not always enamored with the GOP but I'll stick with them.
