@MontereyJack,
Wrong again. Obama's failures are his own fault, and are not the fault of anyone else.

When a party faces an extended period out of power, they always turn to nutty extremism.

It doesn't matter much because they are out of power.

They will have to rein in their nutty extremism when the time finally comes for them to return to power (or else the voters will not return them to power).

@MontereyJack,
The GOP was not out of power for an extended period. The Obama Administration was just a standard two-term presidency.

And Trump is hardly a nutty extremist. If he had been, the voters would not have elected him.

Just like in the distant future when the Republican grip on the White House eventually weakens, the voters will still not put a Democrat in the White House until they nominate a sensible moderate.

What Elizabeth Warren Is Quietly Telling Democratic Insiders
With phone calls, texts and handwritten notes, the Massachusetts senator is continuing an unusually determined outreach effort to show party officials she is aligned with them.

The key to Warren's rise among the Dem establishment and affluent white liberals is assuring them she will do enough to keep the pitchforks at bay, but not enough to actually shift power out of their hands. cc

@oralloy,
Obama was one of our more successful presidents despite unremitting repub intransigence. Which. His why it is vitally important to once again outvote the trump cabal in 2020 and hopefully dungeonize the lot of em. and restore onamas legacy

@MontereyJack,
No such Republican intransigence. That's just a myth that the left pushes to excuse Obama's failures.

Mcconnall holding up the supreme court.nomination for a year was politics as usual? You rant using that 170 IQ if you think saying republican intransigence is a lie.

That was justified revenge for the Democrats blocking W's nominees in 2007-08.

Don't start a fight if you aren't prepared to lose it.

@Olivier5,
You’re trying for a gotcha, but it’s just not there.

My legit vote is sacred to me. The other one, just a ploy to wipe Trump away. If you don’t get the difference, I can’t help you.

@blatham,
Even Trump’s mental exertion alone fighting off a primary challenger would be beneficial to his general opponent. The money he’d have to spend would be less for the general. The emotional kick in the ass actually having a primary challenger as an incumbent would make him crazy. The newsies stating daily how this has happened only a few times in history...

Any **** this challenger can say out loud on a stage to him and about him will chip away at Trump.

I don’t even know the Walsh guy at all, but the positives for just going through the motions of a primary for a sitting president will deliver a weakened Trump to the general.

That remains to be seen, I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, so my 2020 vote is still up in the air.
