Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin said on ABC’s “This Week” that Tuesday’s election showed that President Obama is a “spent political force,” and that the Democratic Party needs to make serious changes if they ever want to win another midterm.
HALPERIN: This was a horrible day for the Democrats: the governor’s races, the Senate races, the state legislators. And I think right now it’s a snapshot– the Republicans have problems too but as a snapshot for Tuesday — President Obama was a spent political force and the Democratic Party either needs to be a liberal party and have the faith in their convictions and what the President’s accomplished, or they need to find another way. White men, older voters, Southern voters: this is a party right now that doesn’t have a 50-state strategy for winning midterm elections.
