1. It's a good thing Obama held off action until after the election then, huh?

Maybe if he didn't kick the can down the road and acted on immigration before the elections that demographic might have been more motivated to vote.

2. Yup. But the most important thing now is, of course, assigning blame and spinning for Hillary.

If Wasserman is not gone by the end of the week, the Democratic Party as I knew it is gone.

every time someone on the internet predicts the end of any party, I would be a millionaire by now. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but neither of the 2 parties are going anywhere anytime soon. The republicans will screw up again giving the democrat a chance to win back congress and the democrats will again screw up and the cycle will continue until the country is run into the ground.

Its sad but thats just the way it is. The cycle of dem vs rep will continue going and going and going.

If he can do that now, he could have done it before the election.

But as always our concern rather than doing things that will energize our base of voters who would actually....you know....vote for Democrats, is in NOT doing things that will piss off......people who will never vote for Democrats anyway.

When are we going to realize this strategy doesn't work?
