Democrats Brutal Shellacking 2015

I guess this would be Shellacking 3.0, after 2010 and 2014.

Even far-left WaPo blogger Greg Sargent can't disguise the damage to the Democrat brand, this late stage in the Obama administration trainwreck.

See, "A brutal reality check for the Democratic Party" (at Memeorandum):

The news that Tea Party Republican Matt Bevin snatched the Kentucky governor’s mansion away from Democrats is a particularly stark reminder of how deep a hole Democrats have dug for themselves at the state level, and of the consequences that could have for the long-term success of the liberal and Democratic agenda...

There's a bunch of bullshit filler and blah, blah about how great ObamaCare is in Kentucky, or something, and then he continues:

The broader point is that the Kentucky loss underscores once again that there are serious policy consequences to the profound deficit Democrats face on the level of the states. As I’ve reported, Democrats are well aware of this and are trying to something about it: it’s conceivable that by the end of this decade, the picture could look very different. But last night is a reminder of the stakes involved.

See the whole thing at Memeorandum.
