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....

Democrats AND ANTI-TRUMPERS OF ALL POLITICAL STRIPES are, still, searching. And, the non-left/Pro-Trump politicians will continue to win, in a variety of political races, because of this ongoing behavior.

“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?

Bong hits and black masks, mostly.

“Putting aside the broad and incorrect assumption in the final phrase, the only way for the Democrats to craft a “crisp” and appealing message to 50+1% of America is to kick their hard Left freak show to the curb and become Americans again.
And they don’t dare... :) “

Why aren’t the democrats trying to cooperate with the President for the good of the country? If they’d try that, they would find things would be much smoother for them. Instead they are expending every effort to break him and his agenda down. One thing they don’t count on is that we’re watching. We are watching and it will show in the 2018 election. Then you will see them suddenly try to be more cooperative.

Sessions is getting it done. Pay attention. He is arranging for it to come out through Mueller’s office. That is ironic justice. Donald Trump for all his perceived brashness is pretty subtle. Sessions is doing as he was hired to do.
