Dem Rep Ryan: ‘The House Is Burning Down’ In Democratic Party
Breitbart ^ | 11/21/16 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 11/21/2016 11:55:01 AM PST by Enlightened1

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH), who is challenging House Minority Leader Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), stated, “I’m pulling the fire alarm, because the house is burning down, and we better get our act together or we’re going to cease being a national party.”

Ryan said, “[T]he average American, the average working-class American, flipped their middle finger to the establishment, the Democratic establishment, the Republican establishment, Wall Street. They think that everybody’s more concerned with the donor class than they the working class.”

He added, “[W]e can’t keep going down the same road. … I’m pulling the fire alarm right now, is what I’m doing in the Democratic Party. I believe we’re in denial of what’s happened. I’m pulling the fire alarm, because the house is burning down, and we better get our act together or we’re going to cease being a national party. We’re going to be a regional party that fails to get into the majority, and fails to do things on behalf of those working class people that were the backbone of the Democratic Party for so long. we better get our stuff together.”

The media establishment, the academic establishment...lot of finger-flipping going on. Most of the recipients still haven't a clue.

I think this map already proves that they are no longer a national party. Just a coastal party.

He should be their next house speaker but everyone knows it will be Nancy Pelosi and he will be severely punished for not falling in line with her highness.

Actually it’s sad we don’t have a credible alternative party. If it was still the party of JFK and not the party of Abbie Hoffman, they would keep the Republican’s toes to the fire.

Yea, he understands that the strategy of pandering to every fringe minority/sexually deviant group is not working. Continue to marginalize the white working male at your own risk.

Bad news for us: this guy gets it.

Good news for us: the rats will re-elect pelosi and marginalize him.

Better news for us: eventually he’ll flip.

I am heartily endorsing Nasty Old Nancy Botoxly as the next House Minority Leader.

She’s done such a good job for the House Democrats. How could anyone do a better job than her?

....ROFLOL.............SMIRK!......
