Sort of like Obama destroyed the Democratic Party. I mean, if this wasn't destruction I would like to know the definition.

This 'destroyed' party just won the popular vote in a presidential election. Lots of ability to rise from the ashes inherent in that.

With California and such over loading, the rise might be difficult.

Not much of a bench to "rise" from. Democrats now have 18 governors to the Republican's 31 (one independent). Most of the state legislatures are now repub majority as well.

If you look at the balance of Governors, state legislatures, and the federal government the Republican Party is the strongest it has been since the 1920's.


The Democratic Party is on the verge of becoming a regional party of New York, and the west coast.

Might be time for retrospect rather than saying the same things over and over and expecting something different.
