Kennedy, not Moulton, should be new face of their party

Forget the Better Deal.

What the Democrats need is a better candidate.

Besides, the new slogan of the ailing Democrat Party -- A Better Deal -- is about as old and tired as FDR's New Deal or Harry Truman's Fair Deal. Even A New Spiel would have been better.

However, it is what you get when you hire political consultants to do your thinking for you

Naaaaaaa......MadMaxiPad & CrazyHank are the new faces of the RAT Party.

[Dilbert San Diego]

What about Hillary?? Isn’t she still the face of the party??

Just in general, whoever the most recent presidential nominee of a party is considered a leader of the party. Just saying.

And she may come back in 2020; time will tell. She started some super PAC didn’t she?

From the article, this is Kennedy's core strength:

"To the thousands of brave transgender men and women serving today, please know that this grateful nation does not take your service and patriotism for granted. You deserve better from your president," Kennedy said.

That is a winning position. Kennedy will win New York, Massachusetts and California. But so would a sock puppet with a D after its name.

How does it work for the Dems? Neither hillary nor Obama are going to give up power over their loyal bases. Sanders supporters feel cheated and abandoned, with good reason. The Dems can't point to anything they've done to bring back manufacturing jobs that would keep what used to be their base employed. Add to that the Republican base pretty much despises the "leaders" who lied and deceived their way to getting elected.

The establishment across the political spectrum has made a mockery of the US claim to be the global mentor of fair elections, accepting the results, and the peaceful transfer of power.

I wouldn't even try to guess how weird, maybe chaotic and violent, the 2018 election will be.

2018 election will primary the rino GOP...the GOP will become the MAGA party it will take time..

Remember the Democrat senators in red states...they maybe in big trouble also..we will see

It is the economy... if it is rolling the Trump party will get the credit...

Blue states are becoming redder...

There is no hope for CA< NY< MA

OH Geeez, not another Kennedy. We are not a kingdom, no more Dynasties. Imagine, if you will, Donald Trump Jr.. Heads would explode and cries of “No Dynasty” from the left. Besides, isn’t it time for a first woman, or a 1st Asian, Latino, original native American or maybe even an Italian? (or a combination of all of the above in one candidate?) What we don’t need is another lawyer, they only make more laws for their benefit and tend to place contributors in positions of importance. Kennedy’s, there seems to be no end of them. We treat them like they were the Royals. Why???? Pre-printed ballots in MA?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Another buzzed up Kennedy.

[Verginius Rufus]

We treat them like they were the Royals. Why????

Well, they won the Presidency once out of three tries, just like the Royals won the World Series once of the three times they were in it.

[Deplorable American1776]

There’s a Kennedy that got elected in Connecticut, too...A sock puppet with the last name Kennedy would win 99% of the low info/Jerry Springer voters...
