LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nine months into the Donald Trump era, Democrats are still searching for a standard-bearer and a crisp message to corral widespread opposition to an unpopular president and a Republican-led Congress.
The minority party has put that struggle on vivid display this week in Nevada, site of Democrats’ first national party gathering since a contentious chairman’s election in February. The party’s congressional leaders and potential presidential candidates mostly stayed away, with the exception of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, whose name has surfaced among possible 2020 hopefuls.
The activists and party leaders who did attend expressed optimism over their rebuilding efforts, but also lingering resentments from the 2016 presidential primary, confirming that the battle between liberals and establishment Democrats continues long after Hillary Clinton dispatched Bernie Sanders but lost to Trump....

““We are not a leaderless party. We are a leader-full party. We have Tom Perez. We have Keith Ellison. We have Leader Pelosi. We have Leader Schumer,” he said.”
one and all beloved by the vast majority of the working class of our great nation ... and all of whom would make fantastic Presidential candidates ...
“Trump’s approval ratings are mired in the 30s, “
yet another lie: rasmussen has trump approval at 43% today.
still, it’s a very useful lie (for our side) because it paints a completely false picture of reality that the left believes in and will thereby fail in accordingly.
“Trump’s election has sparked an outpouring of volunteer energy and cash on the political left, but the money hasn’t flowed to the national party.”
really? where exactly then did all of that supposed “outpouring” of money and energy go to?
If you look at the actual numbers from the primary it’s not even that close!
“The party’s “Better Deal” rollout earlier this year — a package of proposals intended to serve as the economic message to counter Trump’s populist nationalism — hasn’t been an obvious feature at Democrats’ national meeting at all.”
uh, yeah. i believe it completely evaporated in less than a week. lame, hollow platitudes tend to do that ...
Reminds of the Wellstone funeral. They yelled We Will Win We Will Win! (with Mondale no less) They lost. :)
Yeah - or so I heard from the Coffee Party...
They need a candidate with a little mustache and a goatee to stand up there and raise his fist in the air proclaiming, “Workers of America! Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!” That will rouse the people!
The face of the Demo party is:
Hillary!
Maxine Waters
Frederica Wilson-Soldier (and her weird, outfit matching cowboy hats).
Am I in another dimension? How did I get here?
The Russia thing was put together with everyone knowing it was all fake. The left really believed that a case could be invented completely and the Congress would impeach and remove. Actually it could work that way but they have to get the cooperation of too many people to make it happen. They have to get the Republicans actually on board, much more than just smiling from the sidelines. There are only half a dozen in the Congress that will pro actively go along. The rest say well if you can do we’re on board with you after it’s done. They are globalists and functional leftists who want to see it happen but they are also cowards and are not sure the wind is blowing the right way for it.
Trump is smarter than everyone of those America-hating lefties put together. He’s running rings around those clowns.
They all need to get themselves one of those sparkly cowboy hats and become “rock stars”.
Yep. It’s almost like we can pinpoint the start of “the revolution “. It all goes back to democrats. But they’ve stepped over the line and now they are just looked at as crazy. They don’t see it. Never will. The only thing they will ever acknowledge is maybe they need to call all white folks racist. That’ll bring back their voters fee sure.
And Donald is laughing at them every time it comes up. They are so dug in to their “Russian thing” that they cannot see that it is they who have a Russia problem.
Not that sessions is gonna look into it....ahole
You mean to tell me that unfocused, childish rage isn’t working? Shocked.
They’ve Russia’d themselves into a bad bad place. Hopefully sessions can help them out.
Oh oh....Nancy P. Please nominate Nancy.
Funding protests and destruction of numerous cities and campuses?
The Left lives in fantasy land. That just doesn’t work over time because it always fails to deliver what was promised but the Democrats are mentally incapable of giving it up because their Ideology has become a religion to them.
