Not only the Congressional shooter, the Texas church shooter, the guy who attacked Sen. Rand Paul, but Kathy Griffin holding up a bloddy severed head of Trump, Snoop Dogg with a picture of a deceased Trump. It goes on and on. The Democrats are ultra violent and get away with it only because the corrupt MSM provides intense cover and assistance for them.

The hard left’s takeover of the Democrat crime syndicate has put them in a position where their “leader” may NOT be a heterosexual white male. “It” must be one or more of gay, trans, minority, enviro-whacko or woman. No exceptions.

I see.

Agree with the “Death to America” Democrats — or you are a hypocritical racist.

Got it.

Trump needs to declare a state of emergency to get rid of Democrats. Enough is enough; Democrats are terminally useless, retarded, and evil. If he finds that the government isn’t competent enough to evict Democrats, he should allow taxpaying citizens to do so. I, and many other patriotic Americans, would happily deal with the problem for free, so long as we have full support from the government.

That’s a “starting over” I can get behind!

“no way were they really that racist”

I am heartened to see, just like the establishment DNC, the Progressives will continue the “racist” meme.

Simply delighted.

They are so deeply invested in it for their votes, volunteers and money they cannot now get away.

If the Democrat party were to dissolve, it would be replaced by a socialist or far left party.

Seems to me there’s no need for a new leftist party as the Democrats of today are already there. The Scoop Jackson Democrats, JFK Democrats, Hubert Humphrey Democrats, are all long gone.

in essence, they will be starting over. the obamites starved the DNC in order to keep their campaign organization, renamed “organizing for america”, in full operational mode 365 days a year. then the cintonistas gutted what was left of the DNC so they could turn it into a money laundering operations.

so, basically, the party apparatus has been dead for a decade. no matter what they do next, they’re very much “starting over”.

Both parties are in ruin.

Smaller government is the only answer.

OK, how about a new Party; may I suggest calling it the Great Amnesty Free Fall? (GAFF)

She's willing to recognize that party machinery that tipped the table Hillary's direction needs to be changed, at least. And, by extension, that Hillary's negatives were a major factor in the election. It's something.

The solution, however, is not to turn further Left, unless the party intends to become even more crazily divisive. When people you think should vote for you don't, it may be more than just the candidate.

The author is a Mexican hegemonist who is shocked that the gringos are fighting back against the invasion and takeover.

In their minds, we were all supposed to agree with the basic tenet that the establishment of the United States was a mistake, that white Anglo-Saxons are illegitmate occupiers of the land mass of North America, and that People of Color, even those who aren’t people of color but simply speak a latin language, are the real owners of all North American property and the only legitimate rulers because the Pope said so in 1495 or Montezuma said so around the same time or something like that. They aren’t sure, they just know it wasn’t supposed to be anyone whose ancestors spoke a Teutonic language.

Unfortunately we don’t agree. And we elected a guy who agrees with us. So she’s upset, because now the Invasion isn’t going well.

They will re-brand and return with the same crap in brand new packaging, as liars and scoundrels always have to do periodically.

I don’t see where she says they should go further left.

Money quote: “Thirteen summers ago, Barack Obama ... “told us not what was true or real, but instead, a tissue of beautiful lies that so many of us wanted to hear.”

Now that’s honesty. But she has zero prescriptions on what to actually do.

Not one of these people writing about the death of the Democrat party has suggested they repudiate their core believes, rejecting everything they stand for:
* grievance politics
* balkanizing the electorate into smaller and smaller special interest groups pitted against each other
* hating America, freedom, liberty and national pride
* murdering babies
* massive dependency on government
* wide open borders
* hating white people

My exact reaction, and about the point when I quit reading and went to the comments.

As a guy who puts weight in John B. Calhoun’s population density studies, I don’t think it is possible for the democrats to reform. They can only collapse. Democrats are the party of big cities, and population density causes behavioral problems, which get enshrined into the policies of the democrat party. They can’t change their policies until they become more rural. But they are not going to become more rural, because their support comes from validating people’s dysfunctional behavior.

I hope the Democrats don’t pin their hopes on that Right-wing Extremist Bernie Sanders! They need to find a real Progressive who will drive the Revolution forward. No half measures. Yee-Haaa!

There is no leadership anywhere in government. Democrats are evil, leading their sheep to slaughter with an electric prod. Republicans are afraid of their own shadows and would rather fight with fellow republican sissies in an effort to see who can show their belly the fastest than with the evil democrats. All of them would lie to their own mothers and sell their sister if it meant they could see their face on TV, their name in print or get one extra penny for themselves.

Trump is trying hard and making improvements for sure. But he is NOT the great communicator or unifier that the unicorns in Utopia have been clamoring for (not even sure who those clowns are anymore).

I fear either, we have been rendered unrepresentable by a deep state shadow government (bureaucracy), or we have become to stupid to govern ourselves (as a citizenry).

I do know this, we fought the revolutionary war over far less tyranny than we live under today.

“When they start over, they will simply re-make it as a socialist party.”

And to do that will they be moving backward from the Communist/Marxist Party they are today?

“defying the expectations of just about everyone who’d been paying attention.”

hardly. tens of millions of us who were paying very close attention knew the fake stream media polls were completely phony and knew the fake stream media was lying about practically everything they published.

In point of fact, I made a financial killing betting on Trump on Predictit dot com because deluded leftist had run the odds against him to insane levels. To me, winning those bets was like taking candy from leftist babes.

I’m hoping for a repeat in 2020, and so far things are looking good: the fake stream media continues to push out a plethora of phony polls, and their negative articles must be running a 1000 to 1 against Trump, so hopefully the leftists are still buying this fraudulent view of the world, while we realists re-elect Trump in a landslide in 2020 and win even more money betting on his success against foolish odds from deluded leftists.
