On CNN, liberal activist Anthony Kapel "Van" Jones said that "the Clinton days are over" in the Democratic Party, and pointed to two emerging leaders as the future of a more progressive political party focused on identity politics. Naturally, he chose two racial minority members of Congress — and the extremely controversial first Muslim congressman.

"You have to understand, I think that the Clinton days are over," Jones told CNN's Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "This idea that we're going to be this moderate party ... those days are over."

For once, Van...we agree

The Rat Party will finally out themselves as the Hatin’ Whitey party, and will result in the final destruction of that monstrosity which has visited so much ruin on our nation

Yes, this would be great. They can argue for Sharia Law.. It’s a winning argument, believe me.

If that happens, American secular Jews would still remain democrats, further further proving them to be JINOs.

Van Jones was quoted as saying, “You may not know this, but to the Democrat Party, Keith Ellison is a pretty big deal.” JK

They spent eight years being led by a terrorist. If they do it again, some people will notice that it matches their policies.

It looks like the GOP may have some competition in the race for being the “stupid” political party in America!

If Jones is correct, then the Democrat Party truly has no future, except as a fringe party, like the Greens.
I don’t call the Communists a fringe party anymore, not since Bernie almost got the nomination. They are just about ready to declare themselves as card carrying communists.

I hope Van Jones is right. There’s almost nothing that could be better for Republicans than for the Democratic Party to be headed up by a complete Marxist Muslim jackass like Ellison.

Maybe they want another part black muslim to be president again. I would have added a sarcasm tag, but that might be what they actually want.

Every Democrat should be asked if they support measures to keep Sharia religious law out of the American legal system.

This should be asked of every Democrat, just as people on our side are asked if we believe in the Ten Commandments, or in The Resurrection, or in Intelligent Design vs. evolution.
