(10,500 posts)when Obama first took office. He presided over the 2010 mid-term elections when most of our losses happened. Not that I blame him either.
Isn't Louis Gohmert in a safe GOP district? How is it her fault if we couldn't field an opponent against him? (I didn't realize we hadn't).
And we all tried our best to beat Jonie Ernst. She had an opponent, Representative Bruce Braley. We ran a sitting member of the House of Representatives. We didn't concede the race--we just lost.
Running Charlie Crist, who was a popular governor, wasn't exactly a crazy thing to do. Besides, he had to win the primary. In the end, it was the Democratic voters who chose him
I don't see how you think she has undermined President Obama's agreement with Iran. (It isn't a "treaty," for the record). She voted for it. But every member of Congress is entitled to their feelings, and to vote their conscience. Chuck Schumer, our incoming Senate Democratic Leader (hopefully the Majority Leader), voted against it. I doubt that President Obama believes that he betrayed him.
