I honestly believe the only path the Democrats have is hoping the economy tanks. Gay/Leftist/whatever identity aside, if the American economy continues at this pace come November I simply cannot see people voting to take a risk by voting social over economy.

Remember first time Obama won we just entered the Great Recession. Republicans were in charge for 8 years and fairly blamed. When Clinton won we were in a recession.

I still firmly believe America votes on economy over anything else. So Dems better hope for a crippling recession soon.
