1) Dems did not want O to campaign, which would have charged up/brought out more Afr. American Dem voters
2) Dems refused to do what O did after the campaign on immigration, which would have brought more Hispanic voters out
3) Dems did not talk about rise in stock market, increase in jobs, drop in unemployment and improvement in economy overall
4) Dems did not talk about gun control at a time when mass murder is going on weekly
5) Dems did not talk about O's success in coalition building in dealing with Mideast terrorists
6) Dems did not talk about environmental improvement such as increase in solar installments and national lands preserved
7) Dems did not talk about the ACA, which has increased the no. of people who are now insured and ended the "you've-got-a-pre-existing-condition-thus-we-won't-insure-you" strategy of the insurance cos.

etc etc.

In short, Dems ran away from their accomplishments and Obama's. Terrible campaign and now we all have to pay for it.
