Is anti-Trump furor papering over Democrats' working-class woes? Kaine: 'We love the energy'

DETROIT (CNN) - Gobsmacked by their base's ferocious rejection of Donald Trump's presidency, the candidates to chair the Democratic Party scrambled Saturday to show how devoted they are to the cause.

Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez bragged to the Democratic National Committee's "future forum" about racing to airport protests in Houston and then San Francisco. Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, made sure everyone knew he was the only one to skip David Brock's donor summit to participate in the Women's March in Washington.

Put him in charge, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison pledged, and "We will be asking Democrats all over the country, 'Bring coffee to the marches. Be in the marches yourself. Carry a sign.' "

As for those white rural and exurban voters who so brutally rejected Democrats in November -- well, bringing them back into the fold is also a priority for those vying to lead the party.

If the base allows it.

After three weeks of anti-Trump protests, Democrats are still stunned by the sudden burst of energy. The party's organs are all racing to keep up as dozens of events pop up -- often on Facebook, without any party chapter or progressive organization's involvement at all -- each weekend....

Yes, yes, go as far left as you possibly can. Own the protests, riots and anarchists. That is surely a winner for 2018 and beyond.

These leftist protests would be happening even if Jeb himself somehow won the Presidency.

It’s crazy. A letter to the editor here spoke of Trump awakening the sleeping giant of resistance.

My response, which I won’t bother to send in, says:

The Progressive Giant never sleeps. It is always political. It is always campaigning. The giant owns the universities, the Media, Hollywood, teachers unions, 18 layers of bureaucracy, etc. The progressive giant really can’t get any more aggressive until it turns to violence, which is exactly what it is doing.

These protests and riots appear to be in districts that were squarely for Hillary. I suspect that when the dust settles, we will find that the rest of the country is appalled by the violence.

It’s liberal bafoonery, lunacy that got you out of office. Using more of that to get back power? Priceless!

Q: Why isn’t the Left lifting the slightest finger to re-build the DNC? And focusing on idiotic protests, instead?

A): Because the carnage is about to begin, and they don’t know who will be left standing to run it. Zero hovers to phoenix it once it takes the final shape-charge.

Make sure your candidate says they will wear a pussy cap to their inauguration. If it’s a man, so much the better. That will definitely make the rural voters sit up and pay attention.

They just organically pop up with no planning... and preprinted professional signage.
