Inside the makeover of the Democratic (/socialist) Party
Chicago Tribune ^ | 9/05/18 | Bill Barrow, Juana Summers

The Democratic makeover is in full swing.

**SNIP**

Those tensions could come to a head if Pelosi struggles to be elected speaker. Even if she wins, it could be difficult for her to preside over a more liberal caucus.

James, of the Collective PAC, said that's exactly the idea.

"The status quo to me doesn't mean getting rid of people who have been in office a long time," she said. "It means you can't have the same mentality, you can't have the same goals. You can't have the same playbook. You've got to switch it up."

"We are at a crossroads," Pressley declared during a party unity rally Wednesday. "This can be our darkest hour or it can be our finest."

I'll go with darkest. Heck, the Hillary investigation hasn't even started yet. And did that democratic IT perp get away?

I predict the R's keep the HOR but I also predict if the D's somehow take the HOR then the stock mkt drops 10-15% the next day....

Anyone that is both invested in the stock market AND thinks the Democrats retake the house in November should be pulling out of the stock market now.

“Those tensions could come to a head if Pelosi struggles to be elected speaker. “

Next speaker for the rat party will be Joe Crowley. Trust me on this.

So right!

The more that Hillary’s conduct is exposed, the closer the law gets to her profound and certain criminality.

The shameful vitriol and equally criminal conduct of the Left increases in DIRECT and laughably obvious proportion to the extent of the exposure on her culpability.

A child could observe the cause and effect connection

“The more that Hillary’s conduct is exposed, the closer the law gets to her profound and certain criminality.”

Her certain criminality has been proven time and again. It means nothing, though, unless / until she is charged, prosecuted, and found guilty. The rest of us would pay the price; she needs to, also.

Dershowitz says Hillary shouldn’t be prosecuted because that would look like revenge by the election’s winner. If that were true, everyone should run for office, lose the race, and begin life as a criminal. Running and losing is a lifetime inoculation, per Dershowitz The Hillary-Loving Great.

Liberals are absolutely GA GA about their ever-evolving ‘situationsl ethics’

‘F’ that... The law is the law!! That’s why it’s CALLED the LAW instead of ‘Sunday brunch’ or something else

To some degree Democrats are just having the same gag reflex reaction that we did.

Anyone involved in the current establishment is corrupt, destructive, and needs to go.

It just so happens that all potential replacements are further to the Left.

That's interesting, Crowley lost in the primary to Ocasio-Cortez, but he's still on the ballot as a minor party candidate.

Their Communists and Socialists are off the leash. History shows that violence, as already sanctioned by the DNC, will become more violent as they will only accept a takeover of AmeriKa.

“That’s interesting, Crowley lost in the primary to Ocasio-Cortez, but he’s still on the ballot as a minor party candidate.”

And the fact he is still on the ballot and that voting percentage for his district was extremely low, people may just see his name on the ballot in the general and vote for him out of habit.

That's been my suspicion. It'll be hilarious if Nixon beats Cuomo as well.
