Two midterm elections have hollowed out the Democratic Party

The Washington Post reports:
When President Obama was elected in 2008, his victory signaled a generational change and the prospect of renewal for the Democratic Party. Instead, the opposite has occurred. Over the past six years, the party has been hollowed out.

The past two midterm elections have been cruel to Democrats, costing them control of the House and now the Senate, and producing a cumulative wipeout in the states. The 2010 and 2014 elections saw the defeat of younger politicians — some in office, others seeking it — who might have become national leaders.
This is Barack Obama's long term legacy to the Democrat party: he wiped them out , most of them. Thanks , ObamaCare!
