The future of the Democrat Party (Your thoughts)
11/14/16 | TMA

Posted on 11/14/2016 11:55:53 AM PST by TMA62

For years, the MSM has salivated over the health and demise of the Republican Party. While there are lots of things wrong with the RNC, my attention is shifted towards the DNC. Personally, I think it was and has been in worse shape than the RNC.

For the longest time, the democrats were held together by loose alliances of fringe groups, many of them lunatic fringe groups. They ones with the most money had the most influence. Yet, many of these groups simply do not have much in common. And it has gotten worse over years.

It could be said that the last 8 years, the democrats were held together by Obama's skin color. In 2008, people of color were instrumental in getting him elected. Likewise in 2012. If Obama were a white liberal, there would have been a strong chance of him losing re-election in 2012. Still, the 2010 mid-terms were a shocking loss to the dems due to their liberal policies that most did not want.

In the last 4-5 years, I have seen the DNC noticeably turn a very hard left. While the DNC was and is liberal, their sudden embrace of fringe social causes of gay rights, gay marriage, islamic refuges, unrestricted abortion and persecuting Christians has been conspicuous. The 2014 mid-terms was a slaughter to the dems. What was their response? They doubled down on these issues even more. Last week's election served notice on how out of touch the DNC is. Blue-collar democrats in the rust belt states switched to the republicans for the first time since the 1980's.

Now, it looks like the Clinton's and the Clintonistas are out at the DNC. Their political stock value has been dropping like a rock since the election. And Wilileaks has exposed the Clintons to the entire world on how corrupt and scheme-ridden the DNC is now. There is no room for grass roots, only pay to play.

So, what happens from here on out? There appears that there are major power vacuums within the DNC now and there are many forces that are vying for power. Many of these forces, are far-left fringe groups that no one will follow. I think it is a very precarious situation that the democrats are in; probably the worst condition they have been in. Their loosely held alliances can easily be undone, severing the size and power of that political party forever.

What are your thoughts?

The Democratic Party will either continue to drive hard left and lose touch with whatever base it has or it's going to try to redefine itself but learn too late that it doesn't HAVE anything to redefine from.

Ironically much the same can be said of the Republicans. The old guard has been destroyed by Trump's election. Whatever happens to the GOP from here on out it will NOT resemble the party of the Bushes, Romney, McCain etc. It might as well be a whole new party, for all intents and purposes.

I could see a split between the corrupticrats and the Green Party. Nader already thinks they are mostly crooks on the Dem side. What do they stand for? Globalism, dead babies, free cell phones?

“They’re gonna go full-bore Communist.”

At some point, one would think that the few remaining non-communists would leave.

USE IT AGAINST THEM FOR A CHANGE

Mock the $h!t out of them for being such whiney baby poopy-heads over losing.

Don’t even listen to their “you’re a racist” argument of lies- that just draws you in to THEIR playing field

IMHO it depends entirely on how we respond to these fringe groups after President Trump is sworn in. Stop the lawlessness and enforce all laws not repealed by executive order, negating Obama’s executive orders. It’s up to Trump and the rest of us to clean up this sorry mess we are in and take a very proactive attitude in doing so. Ignore the whining liberals, ignore the entire alphabet media and go straight to the American people with a fair agenda to reasonable people who have an interest in making America great again.

I’ll believe it when someone other than CTN reports it.

There is no longer a Democrat Party. It is the Democrat Socialist Workers Party. Minnesota had better hope and pray the DNC picks their Muslim Senator so they can get rid of him!! They have been overrun by Somalis. They are fighting to keep out Sharia law! Wake up Minnesota before it’s too late!!!! They are taking over your school systems.

Listened to a bit of Rush today, he said they are in shambles, and despite Odufus’s win in 2012 which is an out-liar they have lost 1,500 seats local, state, federal since Obama took office. They are in big trouble.

Pros:

They will continue to exploit race, immaturity/gullibility (”students”), demographics, immigrants (legal and illegal), voter fraud, hatemongering, Islam, corruption both public and private and especially including the “media”

Cons:

People will see economic gains and security under Trump.

GOP controlling more and more statehouses and legislatures.

But the BIG KICKER will come when Dims Muzzie Brothers pull another 911 or shoot up a college cafeteria, “Pride Parade” or mall, etc and social media puts on full display the carnage within minutes. Since people of all races, and all ages, esp moms and children will be slaughtered, the masses will turn on the Dims for supporting Muslims in a heartbeat.

Islam is the Dims Achilles Heel. Just you watch, it’s inevitable. And no amount of social engineering or taking advantage of people will offset the full fledged anger that will eventually take place.

Control of the Democrat Party now has to flow through Chuck Schumer. He's waited a long time for Harry Reid to step aside so he can take over. It would be sweet irony for Schumer to lose control to the radical Left, unless he goes with them.

Therefore, Schumer has to be pinned like a pawn between our queen and his king.

Schumer has to be the person our MSM goes to for the liberal Democrat response to everything?

"Senator Schumer, what do you have to say about a Muslim taking over the DNC? How will your Jewish constituents react to this?"

"Senator Schumer, will the DNC still support Israel's right to exist if Congressman Ellison is selected to be the chairman?"

"Senator Schumer, do you think that DNC Chairman Ellison should demand that Muslim groups embrace gay rights of all peoples?"

"Senator Schumer, do you think Muslim Imams will preside over gay weddings in New York now that an American Muslim is running the Democrat Party?"
