February 28th, 2017 'The Night the Democratic party Died'?

The Democratic Party members watching that speech looked like a party of the living dead. They didn't know how to react. They didn't know if they were Americans. They didn't know who they were.
Every time Trump called for bipartisanship for the good of our country, they winced. They couldn't stand it and didn't know how to react because they are the least bipartisan people in the world and they scarcely know what cooperating is. Working together is not in their natures. Yes, they talk about it endlessly but they never do it. (See: the history of the Soviet Union) Maybe it's not in their DNA. (I should check mine.)
When the speech was over -- after there was no longer a dry eye in the house from the introduction of the widow of the Navy SEAL -- they left the room faster than fans of the losing team after the Super Bowl, only in this case they left so stunned you had to wonder if they would ever win the game again or even compete.
The Democrats -- the silly ladies dressed in white and all the others -- bet the house that Trump would make a fool of himself and Donald cut the legs out from under them. And when you bet the house and lose, you go home bankrupt. And without a home to go to.
He cut the Democrats' legs out in the worst way, exposing them for the empty party they are with nothing going for them but identity politics. Yet, it is becoming increasingly obvious that if anyone does anything for the inner cities, it will be Trump the builder, not the Democrats who had a chance for fifty or sixty years and did nothing. Bye, bye, identity politics. No wonder Maxine Waters is so apoplectic.
Calling last night the death of the democratic party might be exaggerating, but it was still a YUUUGE blow to the democrats.

I might be biased but my goodness did the Dems come across at petty and entrenched. The white costumes, the down thumbs, not applauding for broad issues, etc.
They were so pathetic.
Then the old dude in the diner which was about as bizarre and awkward as the end of the Oscars capped it off.
Bad night for the Dems.

Did someone yell out and call him a liar?
I missed it.

Like yelling at the president while he is speaking or not applauding about anything? Yeah, y'all are some dumbasses. It goes both ways.

I'm not entirely sure you guys just aren't re-posting stuff from 2009 with the names and parties switched

It really shows you how far off the rails Trump's presidency had gone that a simple speech like this one can inspire such euphoria in his supporters.
Dems strategized poorly around the speech: they expected Mussolini, they got something more like Harry Truman. But if you think the "fallout" from that miscalculation is likely to last more than 48 hrs...

Maybe yes; maybe no, but if we are. We have atleast 95 more months to keep doing it.

They were expecting one thing and Trump gave them something they didn't expect and wasn't prepared for.
Again, he was two steps ahead of everyone else.
Sooner or later, people are going to have to give Trump credit for how brilliant he really is.

That's a pretty good comparison.
Why in the world did they choose him?

The worst part for them was that they provided validation that the petty protests and vagina hats weren't "fringe". The leaders of the party participated in a petty display that put them against a positive message from Trump. That image is going to be displayed over and over again in the 2018 elections.

That guy was a horrible choice, but the better question is, Why in the world did they chose him and then give away their gameplan by talking about how he made Ky a model of Obamacare's success?

Not sure if serious. When Democrats show up as simple disruptors, what did you expect?Posted on 3/1/17 at 3:57 pm to FooManChoo

Where are you coming up w/ this stuff? Nobody will remember this at all. Not just in 2018, but next Wednesday. The only item up for a vote next year will be progress on Trump's agenda. You are engaging in wish fulfillment if you think that when Trump can't repeal Obamacare, can't pass tax reform, and can't achieve 4% promised growth that vulnerable Republicans showing clips from last nite is going to save them.

The fallout from that speech will last more than 48hrs, because as history has shown the democrats keep doubling down on their miscalculations. Which means they will miscalculate the next time and all of the times after that.

They are not dead but must recover from the cult love affair with BHO and they better figure it out sooner rather than later

You guys do realize the campaign is over? "Bad optics" over this speech isn't going to inspire a wave of calls into Dem congressional offices demanding that they support the repeal of Obamacare. The miscalculation was bad in that it didn't contribute to the continued erosion of Trump's support (and may have temporarily reversed it). But it isn't a game changer in the least in terms of making Trump a popular enough president to scare Dems and Reps in Clinton districts into supporting his policies.
This was supposed to be a policy speech. There's nothing from that speech that is moving the way forward on anything he needs to get done. Most of it was incoherent, in that respect.
