Thought the blue dogs went extinct? by mike williams usgamer 07/07/2016, 9:26pm PDT

If there was ever a test of your "gradually replace the worst of congress (Republicans) over several election cycles before we start worrying about imperfections in our own party" hypothesis, it was the 2008 elections. The democrat became president with a democratic majority congress, only for the left to get knifed in the back by "blue dog" democrats. If only there was a movement of some sort to get those blue dogs out of the party.


Isn't the GOP the movement that killed the blue dogs for the left? That's the joke isn't it? I thought the Repubs rewarded blue dogs' fiscal conservatism by wiping them out anyways, in 2014.

I haven't bothered checking, 'cause I don't expect Congress to pass bills for another generation at least, but aren't they like too small to care about at this point?
