At this point all I see is the Dems trying to pander to the far left base. They have no idea how people view them outside their own little world in Washington, Hollywood and NY.

After seeing the Democrat Party respond with tantrums, vitriol, and open violence to America’s election of Trump...no decent person would ever want to vote Democrat again.

Yes they can.

The best way is to make Keith Ellison head of the DNC and drive the dems further left.

The only reason why some dems voted for Trump, was that he and Hillary were sooooo much alike, but they hated Hillary, so voted for Trump.

If the dems would have had a different candidate, more liberal than Hillary, they surely would have one.

Their continued infantile tactics indicate they have no intention of winning in the arena of ideas. Theirs is a playbook of deceit, manipulation, and personal destruction—part of what created the Fed Up electorate of 2016.

Democrats; the party of my way or the highway. Yeah; I kinda doubt they will be swaying many moderates and none of the conservatives.

Besides; they are (see my tagline)...

I have never once seen a story “can the republicans win back voters they lost to Obama (or HIllary, or Bill or any democrat.).

We need to put a big WEDGE between Hispanics who back illegal immigration and African-Americans.

Blacks are the group most impacted by cheap illegal labor.

Also need to tie it into the minimum wage. Ann Coulter pointed out on Hannity the other day that Australia has a ‘natural minimum wage’ of $15. That’s just how the price of labor went up as the supply remained steady absent them allowing massive illegal and legal immigration.

Black unemployment is the direct result of illegal immigration as are stagnant wages for all manual laborers.

Take their little self interest group coalition and pit them against each other. Hispanic/black is a natural one to divide because there’s much animosity between those communities already.

Just as Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga--then encouraged Odinga to fight the election loss by violent rioting to attain a power-sharing arrangement. Stopping the tsunami from Mexico and Syria and environs is crucial--otherwise the strategy of street fascism insures Trump re-election, and further erosion of Democrat--including media --influence.

Marybe a few, but if it continues on its current path of destruction it will lose many of its present members. Most people are getting fed up with evil.

Is it a political party or a suicide pact?

That’s the question they should be asking themselves. Because every issue they’re pushing at the moment, there’s no upside. Sanctuary states? Oh goodie, you’re protecting illegals who have committed more crimes. Name a single voter who wasn’t already voting for the most liberal candidate who you’ll attract with this?

There’s none. They all have Bernie and I’m with Her stickers on their cars (hell, most of them still have Gore/Lieberman stickers on their cars.) But there’s plenty who can change their vote away, who view this as being a suicide pact, and not the move of a party.

And time and time again, that’s where the DNC’s at..

My biggest problem isn’t the DNC gaining brains and returning to being a party, my biggest problem is how many of my rights the GOP will trade away in their own suicide stampede.

The only hope that the DNC has of gains in the coming midterms is for the GOP to work hard to lose votes. Hopefully the White House can keep the lemmings in the party from leaping off the cliff.

If Trump can deliver on his jobs promises, the Democrats have lost the working class and rank-and-file union vote for generations

McCaskill sounds like she wants to tell Missouri’s Trump voters . . . Look! The left hates me so no reason to remove me.

The Democrats will never win back the white working class, or white voters in general.

White Americans finally realized that literally every identity group except them has been aggressively and viciously playing identity politics for decades.

Identity politics have arrived. Things will be interesting.

They only need to win 3 seats in the Senate and they stop Trump

AND there will be no electoral college to save U.S.

We need to keep the pressure on, crush them destroy them non-stop, no mercy no truce. We must keep the Senate.

Odds of them netting 3 seats in 2018 in the senate is slim to none. Bigger chance of losing the house than the senate. Only way either happens is a recession

” But perhaps the most salient challenge for Democrats all across the partisan spectrum will be whether they can accept political reality—whatever that may be—and what it dictates about the future of the political left, even if it contradicts their own vision of what the party should look like”

Maybe it will look like Islam?

The Democrats have crossed halfway over the street and are being run over. They are being just violent and insulting enough to make people not want to be associated with them, without being violent and brutal enough to force conversions like Islam does. The Whore of Babylon is a fool to trust the Beast she rides.
