It didn’t take long for Hillary Clinton to come out of hiding in the woods. She’s participated in a number of speaking engagements since then, blaming everyone for her loss except herself, and bashing President Donald Trump.
Even most liberals are sick of seeing the woman, who represents nothing but failure to them. Despite that, the Democrat establishment has apparently learned nothing from Hillary’s loss. Last week, the DNCC released a possible new campaign slogan for the next congressional elections: “Democrats 2018: I mean, have you seen the other guys?” Such a slogan is particularly hilarious because voters have seen the “other guys” – and that’s why Republicans took 1,042 seats at the federal and state level out of Democrats’ hands during the Obama Administration.
Further compounding the problem, the Democrats are now turning to the man who presided over (and helped cause) the loss of those 1,042 lost seats. The DNC has only raised $32.6 million so far this year, and has $7.7 million in cash on hand, with $1.9 million in debt. Meanwhile, the RNC has raised $61.9 million, has $41.8 million in cash on hand, and no debt. So, to try to change those figures, they’re turning to Barack Obama.
Former president Barack Obama will formally reenter the political fray this week less than six months after leaving office, headlining a fundraiser for a group that could prove critical to the Democratic Party’s rebuilding efforts.
Obama’s appearance Thursday before a few dozen people at a closed-door event in the District on behalf of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) highlights the balance he is trying to strike as his party seeks to regain its footing at both the state and national levels. Obama does not want to cast “a long shadow,” in the words of Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, but he remains a central figure for a party that has yet to settle on a single strategy to combat President Trump.
Perez said in an interview Sunday that while some Democrats have urged Obama recently, “You’ve got to get out front on issue X or issue Y,” the former president wants instead to “build the bench” for the party. Democrats suffered a greater loss of power during Obama’s tenure than under any other two-term president since World War II.
So given that last line, why is Obama the man they’re rallying behind? Who knows, but I strongly encourage it.
“Because tomorrow’s president is today’s state senator. And he knows that very personally,” said Perez, referring to Obama’s experience as a state senator in Illinois. “When you lose 900 state legislative seats, those are people who could have been the next governors and senators and Cabinet positions, and that is something that he’s very committed to.”
The NDRC’s executive director, Kelly Ward, would not say how much the fundraiser is expected to bring in. But she said Obama “still has such a microphone” to help convince donors to invest in state-level races and help in “shining a light” on a phenomenon that influences the outcome of elections year after year.

Remember: Obama promised to keep to the sidelines once Trump took over. This new engagement violates that promise, proving once again that Obama can’t keep his word.

Even as the Democrats have tried to rally the troops behind the cause of the “Resistance,” they haven’t been able to win a single special election during the Trump presidency.
Think they’re tired of losing yet? Let’s hope Obama continues their losing streak.
