The losers who ran from the President

I think we're lucky they lost. They weren't much good to the party anyway if they were afraid to speak up for any good that they've accomplished, and most importantly, what HE's accomplished.

If he's hated, it's not his fault. Some people are jackasses and naturally they don't like him. Jackasses seem to get along best with other jackasses, that's life.

Who put these losing candidates up to the stupid plan they all adopted? I sure would like to know because they had no fear of the President's feelings being hurt. They had to be influenced, almost like a team, by people they think are very smart, and very important, whose opinion they valued more than the President's.

Beating Republican incumbents is something we're going to have to do a lot of in the next few years, so expect the party to look at what those two did.

Morons.

You can guess who that is, and what their plan is, I can't say it because it will be called a RW talking point and get alerted.
