Top Democrat: All of Democratic leadership has 'got to go' if party fails to take the House
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 04/21/2018 2:05:15 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., wants a clean sweep of Democratic leadership in the House if the party fails to take control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections.

“If we’re still in the minority, all of us have got to go,” the assistant Democratic leader told Politico.

Clyburn, who serves as one of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s top lieutenants, said his party is going to have a “real assessment” after the election and a shakeup among Democrats is likely, regardless of outcome.

He referred to House Speaker Paul Ryan, who is no seeking re-election, as “good friend” and drinking partner during the interview, which took place during a fish fry.

It’s a bit like a celebrity promising to leave if a Democrat loses in that respect.

I will go "Berthold Brecht" on this and suggest that the Democrats need new voters.

A majority of Democrat voters are just plain crazy. And because this is so, their Leaders reflect that.

I can see a giant twofer coming for the Republicans if they perform even half-heartedly in a quest to keep control of the House.

The first is that Nancy Pelosi is thwarted in her single-minded agenda to undo all the Trump initiatives that have been undertaken in the past fifteen months. The second is that the current leadership among the Democrats is perhaps MORE moderate than whosoever should replace them, it it comes to that. The Democrat answer for failure of radical change is even more radical change.

So long as the Democrats cannot embrace the principle that power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and will not deploy trained marksmen to selectively take out “inconvenient” people, they are doomed to defeat by persons who are not inclined to tolerate mere shaming as a means of social control. Mao Ze-Dong understood that principle very well, which is why China is still today a Communist nation (just not a “pure” Communist nation).

That’s a strong motive for Republicans to vote.


Remember all the liberals that were going to leave the country if Trump one..

remember how many actually did?

Liberals lie. it’s what they do.

Nancy, Hillary and Chuck have at least 25 more years of leadership left in them. And Fondle Biden has 20 strong years ahead of him.

When these old ones finally step off the stage, they will be replaced by the purest bloodthirsty Bolsheviks.

Changing personnel is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Drop the PC, begin a long-term, full-throated condemnation of Black Lives Matter and every other marxist group, cut off Planned Parenthood from all federal funding, stop supporting the wacko environmental group, participate in a complete overhaul of entitlements, and purge the party of anyone who cannot fully support the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, and most importantly drop the Trump hatred campaign. It’s not rocket science.

Democrats have nothing to run on, except hate. I predict their lack of a positive, uplifting agenda, will cause them to do poorly in the midterms, thus leaving the House in Republican hands.

They will wrongfully conclude that they failed to win back the House because they didn’t go hard left enough. This will result in a massive purge of all elected reps who don’t espouse a hard left, radical commie line.

By 2020 Dems will be openly calling to abolish the Constitution and declare open war on normal America.
