“I have seen a spate of these we better stop knocking Trump stories in the last 10 days I think primarily because they are reading the polls and not only is Trump’s objective success in all matters economic and international hard to overcome but also there is a hidden 10 to 15 points built into the polls that will not admit that they would vote for Trump. Even Hollywood is starting to lay off noting SNL intimated that the Trump overkill is starting to hurt them as well as that idiot Kimmel. Reminds of the great Reagan and how he was ridiculed by the left and media for the first 2 years and then they could no longer overcome his successes.”

very true. i’ve noticed the exact same thing ... and once again, this type of leadership by the leftist fake stream media shows me that the Dem party is still a hollow shell of itself, especially when it comes to ideas and leadership, and that the leftist fake stream media has stepped into that vacuum and fulfilled that missing leadership role ... in other words, for all practical purposes, the leftist fake stream media is now the Democrat Party ...

Dems can’t stop bashing Trump, because then they would actually have to talk about their own policies ... of which they have none.

They’re actually in the same dilemma Hillary faced - she had no policies to talk about either, so she just blew through hundreds of millions of dollars crapping on Trump ... and lost

CNN’s 24-7 bash-Trump strategy is driving away viewers too

so, LET the Dems alienate the voters ... those extra seats in Congress will be useful next year!!

The Dems have painted themselves into the proverbial corner - if they keep bashing the best president to grace the WH in most of our lifetimes, they lose.....if they back him, they are admitting they have been wrong for many decades and will continue to be wrong and they lose.

“This from Downtown Willie Brown?”

Willie Brown has always been one of the few SF politicos somewhat in touch with reality.

Dims are stuck: Obama and Sanders appealed to the Commie wing of the party, which now holds sway over them.

But there are still enough actual Americans left to thwart them.

For now.

Maybe...

What’s remarkable is that Trump is at 48-50% approval with 90% negative press.

What’s interesting is not just the outlet, but that it comes from Willie Brown.

When the Blind Left stumbles over the truth that is plain to see, to them it is a great revelation.

In other words, “hey fellow democrats, we need to come up with better lies to tell folks in order to secure their votes.”

Rather than stoking the base by attacking Trump, Democrats need to come up with a platform that addresses the average voters’ hopes and concerns. Not just the needs of underdogs or whatever cause happens to be the media flavor of the week.

Every election season democrats send hordes of focus groups teams out into flyover to see what 'words and phrases' work Work to fool citizens into feeling democrats 'feel their pain'...

Then those focus groups run back to the safety of Washington and enlighten their cabals on what words 'work' to scam the yokels in flyover. You're right this time citizens want more ...It will fail.

In twenty years everyone 'will remember' they voted for Trump...

You nailed it. That is their problem. The DNC has been taken over by the very far left. The radicals always have the loudest voice and will not yield to common sense. They’ll demand that the real problem they have is that they’ve not gone far enough to the left.

It has to be a complete civil war going on within the DNC. They have no policies to improve the country as it continues to improve. All they have is to trash everything good that happens and propose ideas that try to create a permanent welfare class, it’s the only way they can maintain power - raise taxes to provide freebies to low income people, keeping them where they are and encouraging to vote for Dems. PDJT is sucking dry their ability to have a message by making the country succeed.

This all fell apart right when they believed they were unstoppable. Two terms of Obama gave them a false sense of where the country was, which had tired of his incompetence. That and the RINO’s resulted in PDJT.

Then Kanye happened...like a nuclear bomb that caused a biblical earthquake throughout their voting base.

The thing is, I don’t believe there’s a plausible alternative to the ideas of Nancy and Maxine for the party. What message could they possibly have that will resonate with the majority of the population? Open borders? Raise taxes? Weaken our military? Grab our guns?

It’s as though they’ve ‘lost’ and still aren’t aware of it. They’re certainly in the wilderness though.

Something that might amaze democrats and other leftists :

Many Black people actually WANT jobs and to not be useless BUMs and having to go to leftard bureaucrats begging for welfare checks and being told How To Vote (against their beliefs) or lose their handout.

Having someone INTERESTED in creating real JOBs as President is recognized by them.

Bring it on.

The fact that bribes were neccessary is simply proof that it WASNT a good deal for America.

What amazes me is : that the Iranian people still haven’t slit the throats of their islamist miserable tyrants

Old-school Democrat, and a very successful one. They should listen to the old pro, but they won't. This, for example:

Rather than stoking the base by attacking Trump, Democrats need to come up with a platform that addresses the average voters’ hopes and concerns. Not just the needs of underdogs or whatever cause happens to be the media flavor of the week.

This is such good advice that they'll find it impossible to take. The hard-left image of a coalition of The Oppressed marching to victory is simply too seductive to discard, but they've refined The Oppressed to the point where it can no longer constitute any sort of majority. Willy knows. Black working class? Well, sure, but wait, did you say Christian and heterosexual too? Nope, sorry, you guys need not apply. And there goes the base.

The calculus of oppression and the supremacy of protected classes has boxed the party into a corner and they don't even want to escape it - it all sounds fine on campus and the media have even managed to spin it into a more benign image, but in fact they'd rather be politically correct than win elections, and that's exactly how it's going to turn out. And Willy can see it coming.

The DNC has been taken over by the very far left.


And some would say the RNC has been taken over by the far right.

I receive my mail from RNC, etc. And it actually reads pretty good. They use Trumps name a lot in it. I suspect the letter is targeted to me because I have contributed to Trump. They say they need the money to support candidates. But my thinking is I can send the money directly. I don’t support united way either.

But back to the issue. Jesus said he came to divide. (on the issue of who He is). Father against son, etc.......

Most people don’t like division, we all want to just get along, especially in churches.

Old Abe was right in one thing. “A nation divided can not stand..................it will be all one or all the other.”

DIVISION IS GOOD, but it means a fight.................
