Bernie tries to honor MLK, trashes Obama instead

[DrScholl]

It's really getting tiresome seeing the argument "Democrats lost 1000 legislative seats under Obama" because it ignores the fact that Democrats were extremely top heavy at the time due to wave year gains in 2006 and 2008 coupled with ancestral Democratic seats. It's really stupid to think that any other Democrat (or Independent) would have prevented many of those seats from falling short of stuffing the ballot boxes or throwing out Republican votes. All that said Sanders is not going to get anywhere close to the nomination in 2020.

Whichever party is in control loses a lot of seats and that was not exclusive to Obama despite what Sanders Christ Superstar implies. Obama spent just about all political capital on health care when he had a majority in Congress and after that majority was gone there wasn't much left he could do, but he did do something besides be charismatic. There is no model that is going to keep Democrats in power indefinitely because that is not how the electorate works.
