Showing Original Post only (View all)My brother in Ohio has had it with the Democrats [View all]
I was visiting for Memorial Day and my brother, a life-long working class blue collar Democrat told me something about Ohio that made me ill.
He said; "You've got to hand it to the Republicans. Kasich won the governor's race by 2 points...but, he and the Republicans governed like he had won by 40 points." "Why give the Dems a majority when they can't do a damn thing with it?"
Had to admit, he has a point.
Yes, the Democrats platform and base is a little more complicated than the Republican's "I hate all liberals and the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat" platform...but I couldn't come up with an answer for him, other than; "well, you have to be the leader of all the people, not just those that agree with you".
That doesn't seem to be working and soon, with enough control of State Legislatures and City Councils, the Republicans will ensure that "those that don't agree with them" have no power to change things.
