The Obama Presidency Has Hurt the Democrat Party

Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy.

They will lose the White House in 2016 too and the gains for the GOP will continue. Historically awful presidency. It will rank as one of the all-time worst.

Re: The Obama Presidency Has Hurt the Democrat Par

The only candidates who will hold Hillary accountable for backing this administration are Cruz and Trump. The others will give her a pass. With Cruz or Trump we will actually see a campaign and Hillary stuttering and stammering as she tries to run from her record.

Re: The Obama Presidency Has Hurt the Democrat Par

Still don't see Hillary losing. Did you see today where some GOP's have said they will support Hillary in the event that Trump gets the nod?

The establishment wants establishment in. Hillary is establishment. The big money wants someone that they can control and she is controllable. Trump is not. He is having fun spendin his money and getting publicity. He says anything he wants and the press eats it up.

Every dime he spends on this is going to come back to him. He is set whether he goes any farther or not.

But.... Hillary is going to win.

I do not share you cynicism. Even the establishment can be overthrown when enough people have had enough. If the far right can reclaim Europe, Hillary is a cinch.

JFK vs. Nixon = JFK won on personality & appearance

Johnson vs. Goldwater = LBJ big Texas presence over nerdy Goldwater

Nixon vs. Humphrey = Robert Kennedy would've walked all over Nixon, Humphrey was a nice guy, but lacked charisma

Nixon vs. McGovern = McGovern was bizarre and way off in left field, Nixon won big because he was likable enough

Carter vs. Ford = Ford was handicapped with the Nixon scandals, Carter was a Southern Christian man with lots of integrity

Reagan vs. Carter = Reagan's personality was huge and being an actor, knew the value of presentation, wit, and the power of the spoken word

Reagan vs. Mondale = worst defeat in presidential history, the Great Communicator won 49 states

Bush vs. Dukakis = both men lacked personality, Dukakis was the worst of the two and Bush rode on Reagan's coattails

Clinton vs. Bush = probably not a larger personality in modern presidential history, Clinton wins

Clinton vs. Dole = Slick Willy vs. Cranky WWII Veteran, no contest

Bush vs. Gore = Boring Al still won the popular vote riding Clinton's coattails, but still lost

Bush vs. Kerry = say what you want about W but next to "Lurch", W looked like they life of the party

Obama vs. McCain = young, handsome, good speaker wins over old, stiff, POW

Obama vs. Romney = Brill Cream Mormon loses to President Cool

With the advent of television, appearance and stage presence trumps policy and issues. The majority of Americans vote emotionally, simply on how a candidate makes one feel. Most voters don't study the issues, the policies of the candidates, their past words and writings, their records, heir past associations, or their biographies.

Hillary is awful on the issues. Worse yet, she has zero personality, terrible stage presence, and sounds like a robot when speaking.

She will lose and will lose big. Every GOP candidate has more personality than Hillary. Except for George Pataki.

Hillary Clinton will be our next President, as long as she is able to finish the race.
