    Actually, about 15 years ago the DNC’s 50 state strategy landed them 58 senators, the most they’ve had since 1979 and allowed them to pass Medicaid Expansion with the help of 2 independents.

    Unfortunately, after the 2013 they’ve had 48 or less in every following election.

    So there was that one blip of good leadership.

      15 years ago was 2010 when the Tea Party was “the thing to be” and Democrats lost a bunch of seats so you’re just blatantly lying here. If you’re referring to the prior two years where the Dems had a super majority, their landmark accomplishment was further cementing the private medical insurance model into law based directly off Republican Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan.
