Say what you will about the Republicans.

And they have their problems also, but at least they’re a unified national political party.

For all of President Donald Trump’s and GOP fault’s.

a. Trump virtually got the entire GOP base to v**e for him in 2016.
b. The GOP controls Congress, the Senate, House and Supreme Court.
c. The Presidency, and the re-e******n in 2020.
d. Two-thirds of the Governorships, and
e. And nationwide, 69/99 state legislatures.


They’re at the apex of their political power:

As the GOP licked their political wounds and learned from their 2008 and 2012 e******n defeats.

a. The Democrat’s, are smug, content, and insufferable, and felt they had political v**er advantage for the next generation.
b. Thought they could run the roulette-table on national e******ns due to demographic political shifts.
c. Then, Hillary Clinton torpedoed that whole 2016 political e******n narrative.


Time magazine delved into the state of the party, it's hit to the mouth after Trump’s win, and noted that things look grim for this national and regional, shrinking political party.

As many other, including here, and have noted.

a. The Democrats have no leader,
b. No message,
c. Bismal fundraising,
d. And seem to be on the brink of civil war over issues on what actually makes one a Democrat.


This piece also cites that Democrats have to do what they think is not all that important: Not understanding how to achieve, the winning back of the white working class v**ers.

Trigger Warning, Democrats: Your Path To Political Revival Is Through Trump V**ers
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/07/13/trigger-warning-democrats-your-path-to-political-revival-is-through-trump-v**er-n2344136


Time is quite adamant that if they don’t do this American political v**er turnaround.

Trump will win 2020 and a second term “with ease.”

They also offer a brutal assessment concerning the direction of the Democratic Party.

a. One rallying cry from the Left is that Clinton lost because she was more pragmatic, a centrist.
b. Hillary just wasn’t left-wing enough for the DNC liberal socialists.
c. Every time the party has gone this way in national e******ns, they’ve lost in political landslides.

Yes, younger v**ers might like this direction, but this group, by and large, is huddled around cities and other urban areas.

You cannot win an e******n, nor be a national force if just city dwellers v**e Democratic.

The 50 largest cities in the U.S. only make up 15 percent of the population.

Again, to win back the House, to redraw congressional maps favorable to the Left—

You need to rebuild the party apparatuses in the rural areas, which have all but disintegrated.

The Democratic National Committee promised to rebuild these structures, but without money—

Their Republican counterparts are k*****g them in fundraising.

Or a message, don’t expect these v**ers to flock back.

They’re not into “Identity Politics;


The Democratic Party doesn’t care about political correctness (no one should).

Lectures w***e A******ns on “White Privilege,” or how police officers are murderers.
All American's wanted was good paying jobs, the ability to raise their families, and live their lives.

That’s somehow problematic within the circles of the professional Democratic left.

Now, that doesn’t mean that the GOP is popular. The approval numbers for them are way under water, a lot of it fueled by their own rank-and-file v**ers who are s**k of the inaction on the Hill over health care, immigration, tax reform, and jobs.

For now, it’s just that the Democrats are much, much worse.

They’ve become progressive busybodies, with an insufferable notion that we should all adhere to what they think about the issues and even worse.

American v**ers consider those who disagree with them, as being little more than pond scum.

Business Insider’s Josh Barro discussed this in a recent op-ed.

When you criticize someone for grilling burgers because it contributes to g****l w*****g, that’s how you get Trump.

No one cares about these Political issue's.

And the more you make other people’s lives miserable with protests, lectures, and other forms of throwing a temper tantrum’s, political and with r**t's

No one is going to v**e Democratic, let alone listen to you.

The Democratic Party should be doing some “soul-searching,” instead they’re just throwing epileptic fits about Trump.

Democrats are now having trouble’s creating a new American political agenda that resonates with v**ers (via Time) [emphasis mine]

Divided Democratic Party Debates Its Future as 2020 P**********l E******n Looms
http://time.com/4951191/divided-democratic-party-debates-its-future/?xid=homepage&pcd=hp-magmod


Every party cast out of power endures a period of soul-searching.

But the Democrats' dilemma was unimaginable even a year ago, when Clinton seemed to be coasting toward the White House and demographic change fueled dreams of a permanent national majority.

Now, eight months into the Trump presidency.

The Democratic party looks to face its toughest odds since Ronald Reagan won 49 states in 1984.

The Democrats are in their deepest congressional rut since the class of 1946 was elected.

a, Democrats hold the fewest governors' mansions 15--since 1922.

b. Of the 98 partisan legislatures in the U.S., Republicans control 67.
c. During Barack Obama's presidency, Democrats lost 970 seats in state legislatures, leaving the party's bench almost bare.

d. The median age of their congressional leadership is 67.

e. And many of the obvious early p**********l front runners will be in their 70s by the 2020 e******n.


The momentum may be on the left.

But picking up the 24 seats required to retake the House, and the three states needed for control of the Senate.

Will mean luring back blue collar workers in places like Ryan's Mahoning Valley district.

Here the steel plants are shells of their former selves, small businesses are boarded up and payday lenders seem to be on every corner.

This used to be a Democratic stronghold, but T***p w*n three of the five counties in Ryan's district.


If Democrats don't refine their pitch to alienated white v**ers, Trump could win re-e******n with ease.

This march to the left has become a sprint since Clinton's defeat.

Groups that support a******n rights have stopped offering polite silence to Democrats who disagree.

Others are demanding jail time for bank executives.

Small-dollar donors are goading progressive groups to advance liberal policies and challenge lawmakers who balk.

A group of prominent liberal Democrats, including some 2020 hopefuls, are pushing a national single-payer health care plan—

Even though its strongest backers acknowledge that it has zero chance of becoming law in this Republican-controlled Congress.

Representative Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois threatened on Sept. 8 that Democrats may shut down the government in December if Congress doesn't provide a pathway for undocumented immigrants to become citizens. 

Democrats who are "Running on progressive values,” face an up-hill and losing v**er battle.

Strategist Adam Green told a candidates' training session in Washington this summer, "is how Democrats will win.”


History counters this, at least at the p**********l level.

The most progressive nominees in recent memory—
a. Michael Dukakis in 1988,
b. Walter Mondale in 1984 and
c. George McGovern in 1972

All suffered political Democratic landslide defeats.


No one waits on the horizon, to broker a peace to the fractured divided Democratic Party.

The DNC has been hollowed out.

First by Obama's neglect and
b. Then by a Clinton campaign that raided its talent.

Now it is trying to play catch-up.

c. Sending $10,000 a month to each state party to help add bodies and channel activists' energy into permanent organizations.
d. But the party is still $3.5 million in the red, and Republicans are out-raising it by a margin of roughly 2 to 1.


To complicate matters, there is no Democrat who is a p**********l contender who is under the age of 55.

Geezer World: Democrats Literally Have No One Under 55 Who Can Run In 2020

It’s geezer world.

Right now, the Democrats seem content that Trump’s low approval ratings will create a blue revival v**er wave;

Their operatives say otherwise and note that if this is the mindset, the party is heading for the cliff again.

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/09/13/tough-love-democratic-operatives-tear-apart-the-partys-current-strategy-for-201-n2381001

They need to flip 23-24 seats to retake the House, but they already lost one recruit in NY-27, a targeted race, due to fundraising difficulties and donors admitting that a Democrat probably won’t win there.

Also, and I know I’ve said this ad nauseam, if the Democrats turned out every Clinton v**er who v**ed for a GOP member of Congress and had them flip in 2018—it still wouldn’t be enough to retake the House.

A unified party? You can't even put together a passable healthcare bill even though you have the majority and 7 years to prepare it? You're more fractured than democrats EVER were.

A very impressive line-up of their self-inflicted wounds.

You neglected to mention 2 class action lawsuits against the DNC, filed by their own v**ers.

One for stealing the nomination from Sanders, the other for underpaying campaign workers.

At this rate the DNC will soon be seeking "endangered species" status, and federal protection.

History counters this, at least at the p**********l level.

The most progressive nominees in recent memory—
a. Michael Dukakis in 1988,
b. Walter Mondale in 1984 and
c. George McGovern in 1972

All suffered political Democratic landslide defeats.


No one waits on the horizon, to broker a peace to the fractured divided Democratic Party.

The DNC has been hollowed out.

First by Obama's neglect and
b. Then by a Clinton campaign that raided its talent.

Now it is trying to play catch-up.

c. Sending $10,000 a month to each state party to help add bodies and channel activists' energy into permanent organizations.
d. But the party is still $3.5 million in the red, and Republicans are out-raising it by a margin of roughly 2 to 1.


To complicate matters, there is no Democrat who is a p**********l contender who is under the age of 55.

Geezer World: Democrats Literally Have No One Under 55 Who Can Run In 2020

It’s geezer world.

Right now, the Democrats seem content that Trump’s low approval ratings will create a blue revival v**er wave;

Their operatives say otherwise and note that if this is the mindset, the party is heading for the cliff again.

They need to flip 23-24 seats to retake the House, but they already lost one recruit in NY-27, a targeted race, due to fundraising difficulties and donors admitting that a Democrat probably won’t win there.

Also, and I know I’ve said this ad nauseam, if the Democrats turned out every Clinton v**er who v**ed for a GOP member of Congress and had them flip in 2018—it still wouldn’t be enough to retake the House.

A very impressive line-up of their self-inflicted wounds.

You neglected to mention 2 class action lawsuits against the DNC, filed by their own v**ers.

One for stealing the nomination from Sanders, the other for underpaying campaign workers.

At this rate the DNC will soon be seeking "endangered species" status, and federal protection.


Funny as hell, but one fact remains.. there'll never be a shortage of feckin' morons, so the democrat/socialist party is forever.

PeterSmuck,

Democratic denial is a "wonder thing," and not a river in Egypt . . .

Guess you also can't, read and comprehend at the same time . . .

And read the posted thread article, . . . a great deflection and "Red Herring" fallacy liberal reply . . .

Arn't you ashamed of yourself and your liberal socialist regressive antic's . . . Back to the troll-hole . . .


The Sanders, Medicare-All-For-One, Single-Payer, Governmental healthcare will never pass . . .

The $30 Trillion medical cost's will never fly in Congress, democrat don't have a majority v**e to pass a dead ridiculous Healthcare bill . . .

The Bill was doomed from inception. It's all Democratic hype, failure in the utopian world they swim to live in . . .

Democrats somehow can't figure out how to pay for it, . . . then try to justify and spend others people's taxpayers money . . .

Democrat's a bunch of windbag's . . .

Although it is fun to watch the media's political machinations and political gyrations, and utter fool's-folly in doing so . . .


[quote=PeterS

A unified party? < < < What a Democratic joke . . .

You can't even put together a passable healthcare bill even though you have the majority and 7 years to prepare it? < < <
Obama's signature Healthcare Bill is a turd, floating in the toilet bowl, awaiting to be flushed . . . A Taxpayer-Pyramid-Ponzi-Scheme . . .

You're more fractured than democrats EVER were. < < < Your a Schmuck in everything you say and do . . .

Liberal's can't live with them, can't k**l them . . .

A gang member cannot imagine being an individual. Neither can a member of a mob like the democrat/socialist party.

With a Republican House, Senate, and Presidency, perhaps I expected a bit too much.

Other than a decent Supreme Court pick, and some unilateral P**********l executive orders, let's take a look at the big picture.

Obamacare repeal and replace. Nope. House and Senate versions both supported by Trump (neither of which solved the health insurance problem, nor did anything to reduce medical costs) failed. The current Graham-Cassidy bill touted by Trump as an Obamacare replacement keeps in place much of the flawed legislation and still appears to be unable to be passed. Trump's support is a face saving gesture that does little to solve this problem.

Trump's campaign promises to extract our country from foreign wars was reversed, and we find ourselves recommitted to sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Have the illegal arms shipments to Syrian insurgents ceased under President Trump - Nope http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-113356-1.html

Trump's pledge to "rid the swamp" is another empty gesture with his support for Luther Strange over Judge Roy Moore. Strange is a former DC Lobbyist, that has taken $8 million from McConnell's PAC and another $12 million from establishment PAC's to defeat Moore who is a principled constitutionalist.

What has happened with our Justice Department's prosecution of Clinton crimes while in office? So far....nothing. If George Webb can find this evidence, why can't our Justice Department? https://youtu.be/pkbXyzpEdSg

What has happened with our Justice Department's review of the NSA and FBI's illegal spying on Trump, Senate Committees, the Supreme Court, and the American public reported by Larry Klaymen and Dennis Montgomery. Montgomery furnished proof of his accusations to the FBI over two years ago, and what has happened to date. Nothing. Why isn't President Trump and the Justice Department all over this issue? http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-98458-1.html and http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-98289-1.html

How can the Trump Administration support AG Sessions expansion of the the illegal and immoral "Civil Asset Forfeiture" of assets from people who have not been accused or been convicted of any crimes? http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-109911-1.html

How about the Trump administration's response for government oversight committees request for documents? Either the same or worse than the Obama administration. http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-106587-1.html

I could go on, but you get the point. Bottom line, while the Democratic Party is in disarray, the Republican Party is not much better.

< < < Basically Healthcare in America is F***ed, . . . ObamaCare, aka. . . . The Democratic Ponzi pyramid scheme is a turd in the toilet circling the bowl and waiting to be flushed. Nether party has the balls to come-up-with a balanced and fair proposal for medical health care insurance plan.

Why not just get rid of health insurance all tougher, red tape, cost increases. Get rid of the middleman. A simplified plan, all americans get health care vouchers with co-pay pay deductibles, with a supplemental coverage and payments. Sounds simple to me and all free market hospitals and doctors . . .

Trump's campaign promises to extract our country from foreign wars was reversed, and we find ourselves recommitted to sending more troops to Afghanistan. < < < Obama's destructive foreign policy's have been in place for 8 years, good luck getting out of that quagmire . . .
