Is Obama The Reason The Dems Will Lose?

I think Bernie is going to be the dem candidate. Biden will have a lot of power and money backing him. But he's going to have to pay for the sins of his predecessor. Not to mention, Biden is insane.

Insane ? Stupid,.sure but insane ?
At least Smoking Joe realizes all that lib crap is just vote buying to enrich his backers. Bernie actually believes it. That's closer to insane IMO.

The Black and Latino vote can be counted on to vote Democratic. Considering this fact, it's not off the wall to consider the Democrats might still win. However, the Democrats should avoid nominating Hillary, as recent scandals make her a bad choice.

Biden is the kind of crazy that I love hanging out with... even drinking with. He can walk into a biker bar, as Vice President, and sit down and have a beer with a rode hard biker chic. If any other VP had done that jaws would hit the floor. But it was no surprise when Biden did it. The facial expressions I have seen him make while Obama is talking are absolutely priceless. I admit, it may be dementia rather than just normal insanity. And I have no clue if he's stupid for his shenanigans, or a genius. But I can't give in on the "insane" part, haha. But, anyway, thats why he doesn't have my vote. Not for something as important as President. If Bernie were up against any other viable candidates I might feel differently about him. But compared to all the other options, I love the charming old man. If I ever get Biden over here to drink with me, and entertain me I'm going to insist he bring Bernie with him.

It isn't like me to feel this way, but the truth is I believe people should stand outside of the voting booths with Nerf bats. Whenever someone votes for Hillary, they should get smacked with the bat.

If Obama hurt the democrats then Bush hurt the republicans. Let's be real. None of these politicians is worth their salt. The only thing that we can do is vote for the lessor evil and be satisfied with that vote. It's all a popularity contest anyway. They will say and do whatever is going to make them popular to the masses in the long run, and they will try, but it probably won't work because they have other people to answer to. The president isn't the king where he gets final say. So when Bush was in office everything was blame Bush, and now with Obama it's blame Obama. So whoever comes next we're going to blame them too whether they are democrat or republican. People are never going to be truly satisfied with our choices in government.

I don't the issue is an "Obama" thing or a "Hilary" thing, even though this may play a role in America's apathy toward Democrats and Republicans. (Let's face it, neither party is really "winning") I think the issue is much deeper. Americans are tired of the same old rhetoric ('jobs" ,"fix Washington" , "immigration") from both sides.

We've been trained now to see both sides as two competing opponents, yet we all live in the same nation. So when one side "loses", we tend to look for blame. The answer, I think, is that everyone failed. The Democrats, were supposed to inaugurate a golden age of "equality and opportunity" after the Republican side. That hasn't happened. The Republicans, were supposed to fix government and get America back to what it was (depending on who you ask). That hasn't happened either.

Truth be told, not too many Americans like Obama. Contrast that against his popularity back in 2008 or thereabouts. So they really have nothing against the man, it's what he'd done while in office which pissed them off.

Some polls indicated that most people wouldn't vote for the Democrats neither in the Mid-term elections nor in the presidential election. The results of the Mid-term elections according to those pollsters, showed that the Republicans had gained some popularity and would, if they chose a really good candidate, win the elections easily. The reason given for that? Obama.

Do you agree that Obama is hurting Hillary's chances as it has been alleged?

The Rainbow Has Become a Lightning Bolt

Yes. He's gone full-blown New Age, but Hillary would have too. Americans have had enough of Thug Lives Matter, Amnesty, the Gayist Agenda, and threats to grab our guns.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

I have plenty against Obama, for what he has and hasn't done in office! However I would hope that people would remember everything Hillary Clinton stands for, Benghazi, Whitewater, the socialism of Saul Alinsky, etc., and judge her accordingly. Hillary has enough baggage of her own, without borrowing any from her former boss.

Over the Hillary

The American people don't care about the specific Hillary issues that the Republicans keep piping. However, unlike the way we feel about Bill--that at least he's a normal guy--Main Street thinks of Hillary as one of those screeching campus troublemakers from the 60s. In that mob's unfinest hour, the antiwar demonstrations at the Democratic Convention, 95% of those polled hated the Lefties. The New Age has expired and its political correctness is a dead language.

Great observation.
