Morning Joe: Democrats Have Forgotten How To Win
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/17/2017 7:11:00 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Today’s Morning Joe had some good advice for Democrats if they want to start winning again, particularly at the House level. They need to stop imposing ideological purity tests on their candidates and nominate candidates who resonate culturally in swing districts.

The good news for Republicans is that there is no sign that Dems will heed that wise counsel. To the contrary, Morning Joe was replete with indications that Dems have forgotten how to win, preferring to go down with their liberal guns a-blazing. Excerpts:

Message to Dems from Morning Joe: you’re going to keep losing so long as you insist on ideologically pure liberal candidates in swing districts.

The good news: looks like the Dems won’t listen.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

A platform that could win would mean breaking from the extremist nutball base that funds their campaigns. Not gonna happen.

If they are preferring to go down with their guns a-blazing, then that means they haven't forgotten how to win, they are simply choosing not to do what needs to be done.

Why does MsNBC care?

Voter Fraud, Bribes & Kickbacks were NEVER a strategy!

When what you’re selling is anti-American evil BS, it becomes less and less an easy sell once people start SEEING, with their own eyes, the damage you and your awful policies lead to.

And that makes me happy. :)

Morning Joe has forgotten how to think with the big head.

What he means is that he’s disappointed not that Democrats don’t know how to win. They’ve done that over and over again. By fraud, cheating, lying and dissembling.

What they are really pissed about is that their numbers aren’t enough - even with the cheating, et al - to beat the actual righteous indignation of Americans that are just effing fed up with lying Democrat Politicians and their bullsh!t.

The GOP Establishment differs from the ‘Rat Party in what way?

Trump won in spite of the Republican Party. The danger now is that the Ryans, the McCains, the Grahams, and the rest of the GOPe piss away Trump’s great victory.

Existentially speaking, the worst possible thing that could happen to leftists is to win any more elections for the foreseeable future.

Too many people see through their degenerate crap now. The “why tolerate them to live?” question is getting asked in whole new places by new voices besides the usual suspects in such things.

And people fed up enough to take it to the streets and brawl it out, as we’ve seen recently.

It’s not that they have forgotten how to win or that they don’t want to win, it is that they are wedded to socialist policies that are rejected by the people.
They cannot abandon what their core base of leftists want to appeal to a broader cross-section.

This morning, the Guardian ran an article about Sergio Garcia's win at the Masters and his "sportsmanship." The article was apropos for this discussion. The Guardian article discussed the difference between "sportsmanship" and "gamesmanship". Sergio played the game and in his win was magnanimous with his praise for Justin Rose, the runner up.

The dems show no such sportsmanship, win or lose. They, however, portray the epitome of gamesmanship, a win at all cost mentality and using whatever tactics and strategy needed to win. And, when they lose, they will blame their loss on anything or anyone other than themselves.

What difference does it make whether they win or not?

Thanks to 0bama-nominated circuit court judges overturning Trump's executive orders, embedded political actors in the deep state leaking like sieves, and ball-less RINOs in congress, the Rat agenda marches on.

Trump promised to 'drain the swamp', but the fetid, reeking creatures haven't gone anywhere yet. And if Bannon goes, forget about that promise.

This will be a good exercise in watching pure emotion destroy a political party.
