Start voting third party and maybe we'll get there some day...though Rand looks like the real deal...he'll be my first vote for one of the major parties in many, many years.

The people have strongly rejected this frauds vision of AMERICA!!!

He demanded cab fare to get to the polls. Dems said they didn't have the money and that it was illegal anyway. You know, bastions of no illegality here folks party. He stayed home. Dems lost.

Maybe Republicans learned how to do this? Oh, I forget, only Democrats are cheaters.

Funny how fast this meme reversed overnight. It went from "Americans are idiot sheeple to the left" to "The people have spoken".

You didn't vote? And aren't there more of you than us?

and generally everyone in the country that voted is tired of Obama and the left's direction they are taking us.


Why would takers be upset with higher taxes? They don't work and just get free stuff so the job market doesn't really matter.

I'm not trying to be clever, I'm just asking questions.

1) off year election which means low dem voter turnout
2) this cycle had bad match ups for dems.

The results are the results, but why? It defies the narrative of the board for the past 8 yrs.

What's dumb is the thinking that the country had irrevocably gone Democrat and the litany of excuses including the few I posted.



I'm sure you're responding to some dumb stuff you recall. That said, the media and academia are definitely making it easier for Democrats to succeed, as is putting more people on government assistance.

It defies logic. How did this happen?


As aptly pointed out by Dem pundits, roughly 2/3 of the electorate did not vote in the midterm elections while a disproportionate number of Obama opponents did vote. Obama was correct; he wasn't on the ballot for midterm elections but his policies absolutely were. You can bet your sweet bippie that a compliant liberal news media and members of the Dem ground team will trumpet the low turnout in the midterms as a rallying cry to energize their supporters in 2015.

The only problem is, the left doesn't have their strongest weapon in 2016.

Hillary isn't black.

I thought that was voter suppression? At least that's what the Democrats are telling us now.

No one ever said all media and academics were under liberal control.

2. Voter fraud

Happens every election somewhere.


3. Our country dominated mostly by takers and stupid people

We are dominated by a free and hard working people.
But the takers that vote and the level of stupidity is rising.

Nice try. Go with a different angle next time. This one was kinda weak.

Your number one is real and if you can't admit to it you're dishonest.

Your number two happens but I suspect not in a large enough number to screw things up.


As for three, this was a midterm, the takers and stupid usually stay home. As someone posted last week, the midterm voter is generally more educated, wealthier and more informed than the presidential election voter.
