...the media literally hit him with everything they had and failed. He's not going anywhere.

Hillary failed because she was a bad candidate. Do you understand that she spent over a billion dollars and got nothing for it? That's a hell of a lot of money even by today's standards.

We've been here before. Normally, the party boosted from power after a realignment election spends 10-15 years in the wilderness raising money and trying to rebuild itself. This will be no different. It's bad. Seventy five percent of Ohio districts are represented by Republicans and basically never turn over.

A friend of my wife's was on Romney's advance team for California and says had the party insisted on Bernie, he could have won.

She should never have been nominated.
