(11,464 posts)The democratic party easily could have been president since 1960
and if not for those hating "the egghead" and electing Reagan the first(Eisenhower),
in actuality, the democratic party would have had the presidency since FDR.
stupid were the fracturers and the protesters and the whiners who wanted 100%.
Do you all remember-it took LBJ getting republican votes and having 67 senators to ram through what ONLY LBJ did.
yet the silly protesters blamed LBJ for the one thing any president would have done, and in fact Truman/Eisenhower/JFK started Vietnam anyhow.
and they would happily sell the party down again
EASY ANSWER-
ONE has to vote straight democratic, get the 67 that LBJ had, get rid of the REPUBLICANS from office the next 6 cycles
and then it can be 80-20.
doing anything else is just well, oh so obvious.
any defection only helps Jeb Bush and the Bush family again.
one can whine and hide that fact, but it is the truth.
these stupid soundbytes the 3rd way is the Nader way.Stop with the soundbytes. Take the loss and whine whine whine.
