We give CNN a seriously hard time, and usually for good reason. But truth be told, out of the many talking heads and journos at CNN, Jake Tapper is probably the most balanced when it comes to calling out issues politically. That’s not saying he doesn’t lean left (duh), but he is the only one we have seen really go after Democrats when he takes issue with something they’ve done or said.
Even Obama.
The Democratic Party is the weakest it has been since the 1920s, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/ATqKBx4bq0

Democrats are sucking wind and the Obamas don’t seem all that concerned about it. In fact, they’re ‘living their best years.’ Jake isn’t wrong here … but instead of seeing his very valid point, Lefties FREAKED OUT on him for daring to be honest about their KING.
Don't understand the point of this conversation. Does @jaketapper think Obama should be back in US leading Democrats or blaming @BarackObama for leaving Democrats in an incredibly weak position or just making random observation?

Kind of a combo of 2 and 3. Glad he’s enjoying his life; he’s entitled. Also, FYI, as we begin focus on Nov 2018 and 2020, he presided over a historically precipitous decline of his party. Just a factual matter. Some Dems seem angrier at my tweet than at that fact. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They’d rather be mad at Jake than accept the reality of who Obama really was and what he actually did to their party.
And to this country.
He got raaaatttiioooooood today, man. And he deserved it.

Lefties are so big and tough.
I'm just glad you didn't call 911 and tried to have him arrested.

Oh so NOW Jake is a racist.
K.
This isn’t a good take, Jake. It’s a bad tweet.

EL OH EL.
Remember when you told Hillary’s campaign manager he was insane for calling out the Trump / Russia thing and voters were counting on you?

Maybe the reason the media panders so much to the Left is that they’re scared of them? These people are vicious bullies.
y'know what? you deserve a gutter response for that. if you people had done your actual job instead of snickering and being oh-so-clever about Trump and his chances we wouldn't be where we are now. a little less snark from you, please, "journalist," a lot more ED MURROW.

There’s a reason i don’t watch CNN except Don Lemon.

Deadline @NicolleDWallace is an outstanding program that runs opposite of @jaketapper if you're tired of his arrogance and wish to see his failed program sink even further in the ratings (it's already 6th place)

Interesting. Jake is honest about Obama and people start threatening his show.
Like we said, bullies.
Worse thing I ever heard you say Jake. He gave a brilliant speech in South Africa last week & came home to visit his family and you have the nerve to say this??
I don’t hear you saying much about Trump golfing every weekend but hey…no biggy.

Oh FFS.
I guess the Left is having fun ratio-ing @Jaketapper over this, but they should heed this. Obama presided over the death of the party, which is now out of power in every branch. https://t.co/iwZoo7wVsE

They won’t ever blame Obama for destroying their party, they’ll keep shrieking about Russia and Trump, how Hillary was cheated because she’s a woman, how the country is racist, or how the electoral college is to blame. It’s just like the #WalkAway tag, instead of wondering if maybe the party is really in trouble, they assume the people tweeting about leaving their party are bots, Russians, and/or trolls.
Democrats will NEVER accept the reality of what their party has turned into …
Which is a wonderful thing for Republicans.
