Sending an arsonist to put out fires

The Democrat party is in the worst shape it's been in nearly a century when it comes to volume of elected officials. The decimation largely occurred over the time frame of when a certain community organizer from Chicago was occupying the White House.

In 2009, President Obama’s party controlled both chambers of 27 state legislatures. Eight years later, Democrats control both chambers in only 13 states. Among the states that slipped from Democratic control are Wisconsin, North Carolina, Iowa and West Virginia; states key to the victory of President-elect Donald Trump (in November 2016). According to a report from the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Democratic Party has lost a net total of 13 Governorships and 816 state legislative seats since President Obama entered office, the most of any president since Dwight Eisenhower.

The Dems' solution? Send out said community organizer to stump for candidates in key Senate and gubernatorial races, all the while coming off as a bitter demagogue.

That oughta reverse the party's fortunes, eh?
