Abortion rift puts Democratic militants in charge

One hundred days in, we now know that only 2 percent of Americans who voted for Donald Trump regret their vote, according to the latest ABC/Washington Post poll. That same poll says two-thirds of all those questioned believe the Democratic Party is out of touch with the concerns of Americans, higher than either Trump or the Republicans.

Yet the media continue to think Trump is on the ropes.

Take a look around: The Republicans control the White House, both branches of Congress, as well as a majority of governorships and state legislatures. No one’s taken a census of local tree wardens and tax assessors, but the odds are pretty good they lean Republican too. And what is the Democratic Party response? A Mao-like purge of dissenting views, which they believe will restore the party to its former glory.

All political parties face the same choice: They can turn the leadership of their organization over to either militants or consensus builders. In the case of the Democrats, they have chosen the militants.

KEYWORDS:
Newly elected Democratic Party chair Tom Perez made it clear the militants are in charge when he declared the party will not support any anti-abortion candidates. The controversy arose over a mayor’s race in Nebraska — Omaha, not Boston or San Francisco — where the Democratic candidate, Heath Mello, has a history of voting against abortion rights as a member of the state legislature.

Now that the hardcore far left has won control of the dem party, I’ll bet they run off a sizable number of members.

There is a deep cultural and values divide in America. Its hard to see how any decent person can associate with or trust an individual who acquiesces to the wanton killing of pre born human life. Such a person is capable of any atrocity and identifies themselves when they state they are a Democrat.

Militants — referring to Ryno, Mitch, Rubio and THEIR “Republicans”?

I was a Democrat. I didn’t leave the party. It LEFT me, in every sense of the word. The hardcore left has been running people out of the party for at least 40 years.

If I could give just one piece of advice to people who people who think they’re Democrats now (and if they’d listen), it would be: just wait. Sooner or later, the Marxist totalitarians who run the Party will come for *you*.
