Are We Witnessing the Democratic Party transforming into the Whig Party?
2/16/2017

Have the Democrats turned working class middle America against them just like the Whig Party? I know many Trump supporters who are quietly going about their day-to-day business, working 40 - 50 hours a week, paying bills and trying to keep afloat and move their lives forward. However, they are keenly aware of what is happening on the left. The violent (paid) protest, the stupid pussy hats, the suppression of free speech, and the all around anarchy that has happened in places like Berkeley, CA has not gone unnoticed. These Trump voters would like nothing better than to send the Democrats/Liberals/Communist to the ash heap of political history.....Like what happened to the Whig Party 163 years ago.

If the K Street RINO’s don’t start supporting Trump we will have two Whig parties.

The Democrats seem to have become a regional and liberal socialist type party.

Hillary got only 50 electoral votes from states in the interior of America. The vast majority of her support came from the liberal enclaves on the Pacific coast and northeastern states.

Look at the map which shows which candidate carried each county across America, and the result has got to shock Democrats as to how isolated they have become.

If the Democrats died out, so be it.

While we have had two major parties for almost our entire history, the two major parties have not always been today’s Democrat and Republican parties. If the Democrats did die out or decline even more than they have already, it’s quite possible a new 2nd party would evolve.

but the Dems lost the WORKING CLASS VOTE in this last election (that was their base for over 100 years), and the only reason they did as well as they did was because the Dems managed to make the election a referendum on Trump...rather than giving people something to vote for.


Very true. What was the positive reason to vote for Democrats and Hillary? What positive agenda did they have? What positive position?

There was plenty of negativity coming out of the Democrats and media. Trump was Hitler, Trump was a monster, Trump hates women, Trump said Muslim terror which offended liberals, Trump said “pussy”, etc. Trump supporters are deplorable and racist sexist xenophobic, etc.

Did they really think they would gain support from Trump supporters by insulting them????

Did they really think that pushing transsexual bathroom access and global warming and denying Muslim terror was the way to win elections???

Looking back it was a very negative campaign. And Hillary is just a lousy politician to start with.

No. Years ago the Democratic Party transformed into the Communist Party. They have been and still are the Communist Party USA.

The choice is Republican Party, Independent, or Communist Party. Do your research and think hard before you choose. Your grandchildren and generations unborn are depending on You.

In fact the CPUSA has officially endorsed all aspects of the Dem Party platform under Obama at least, except that it is not quite as revolutionary as they would prefer!

They did that in 1896. They’re Communist in all but name now.

No, what we are seeing it the Democrats being more agitated that when Lincoln took away their slaves.
