President Barack Obama warned yesterday at a private home in Miami that Democrats “get clobbered” in midterm elections.

“[T]he problem is not that the American people disagree with us on the issues.  The challenge is, is that our politics in Washington have become so toxic that people just lose faith and finally they just say, you know what, I’m not interested, I’m not going to bother, I’m not going to vote,” Obama told donors.
