Guest Piece by Gregg Updike The fundamental problem with the Democratic Party is that for decades they have been actively recruiting every disparate minority group they can find or create most of whom have an axe to grind and have tried to cobble together a majority of minorities as a means to win elections against Americas white majority. There was an article in a major newspaper, circa 2011, during the Ones ramp up for reelection in 2012 reflecting this strategy.
The DNC, Obama, and the MSM, after successfully guilting white America into voting for a historic (half) Black president who was articulate and bright and clean, realized they were in trouble after they overwhelmingly lost the House in 2010. This was the direct result of ramming his unpopular and entirely partisan passed Obamacare down Americas collective throat, and resulted in the emergence of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party, and other anti-Obama organizations.
Obama, having lost much of the warm and fuzzy good-will that swept him into the presidency, and political capital, made the decision to jettison the idea of appealing to the countrys white majority middle class (the people who Hillary Clinton would later describe as an irredeemable basket of deplorables). The Dems essentially said they are no longer interested in, nor will they any longer court the white male blue-collar union base that was the strength of the Dem party since FDR. Presently the Democratic coalition is a motley collection of diverse (root word of diverse is divide) groups which has no core unifying glue or message to hold it together except that Trump and Republicans suck, and must be politically defeated.
This cultivated strategy is beginning to backfire on them in a spectacular manner. Their radical groups are not silent obedient toadies and actually want their point of view heard, respected, and acted upon. Unfortunately for the Dems, many of these points of view are diametrically opposed to each other. Examples: Muslims are vehemently opposed to homosexually, legal immigrants and naturalized citizens are opposed to illegals getting a free ride, and big banks and capitalism are lined up against Bernies communism.
Meanwhile, President Trump, by displaying heretofore unseen strong common sense leadership, has exposed the fraud of the Democratic Party for all to see. He has successfully exposed them, his agenda has been beneficial for ALL Americans, and he is destroying their media and academia controlled PC thought police monopoly. That is why he is so hated by the left and the never-Trumper Republicans, and why they are working so hard to sabotage his administration and remove him from office, or make him unelectable. It has completely failed and made Trumps reelection all but certain, especially when his potential opponents are considered.
Bottom line: The person who could unite the Democratic Party simply doesnt exist, while Trump has been historically successful in uniting his Republican base and attracting many previously Democratic minority groups who have realized they have been used by the Democratic Party and are #Walk(ing) Away in large numbers. Consequently the DNC finds itself in quite a pickle.
If I were running the DNC, I would do the following:
Let Sanders win the nomination and then suffer a 1972 McGovern-like defeat, along with massive down ballot losses, thereby forcing the radical communists out of the party we gave you a legitimate shot and you lost bigly; now be gone and go back the Communist Party USA and be the 3% irrelevant population splinter group that you are and have always been.
(The GOP suffered massive losses in 1974 and 1976 in the wake of Nixons Watergate, but rebounded by 1980 with Ronald Reagan and his coattails. Face reality, take your lumps, learn, and move on.)
Get rid of the Clintons and their toxic influence in the party.
Divorce your party from the idiotic Hollywood crowd their influence is waning and they are every bit as toxic as the Clintons.
Purge the party of all the old fossilized war horses who appeal to no one, particularly the millennials. This election will help in their retirements by securing long term minority status for the Democratic Party. It is not fun to be in the minority in congress and the old guard will get out while the getting is good and retire with their millions.
Find and recruit some moderate, pragmatic, appealing, and intelligent candidates who fundamentally see the good in America as founded, and run on and actually believe in a positive pro-America agenda, as John F. Kennedy did in his 1960 campaign.
While most of the congressional old guard will willingly leave once they realize their minority party status for the foreseeable future is a reality, the young radical activists in the Squad and other divisive factions will need to be primaried or relegated to impotence with minor committee assignments and have their campaigns defunded by the DNC.
I realize leaders of the Democratic Party will never do this, and thus they will become more and more irrelevant, which is a good thing for America. I predict the Democratic Party brand will be irreparably damaged, and break up. When that happens, a new party will emerge with new leadership and a new message. It will no doubt be liberal, but it will be, at least at first, a reasonable counter to a more conservative Republican Party; a Republican Party which will also be forced to undergo its own metamorphosis and evolve into a genuine conservative party.
The media will also be forced to reform itself, or it will ultimately die with a viewership of only about ten percent of the country watching or believing them. Sooner or later, the outside money propping them up will dry up and they will have to compete for advertising dollars by being truthful and fair and balanced. To that end NPR and NPT should be defunded as they are obsolete, serve no purpose and need to be forced to stand on their own merits; taxpayers dont need to be forced to fund a liberal-lite mouthpiece that has a smaller audience than CNN.
A purge is a communist activity.
Just don’t say putsch - it gets them all excited...
During the Kenyanesian Usurpation the Democrat Party and the Communist party merged.
They will never go back to being a sane party.
Give them firearms at the next debate and have them walk off 20 paces.
Actually, this statement could be useful for every part of the nation--not just the Democrat Party. Spite, resentment, envy, jealousy and over all negativity are not useful attitudes for any walk of life--not just Democrat Party politics.
This is, of course, true. When the baggage being dragged along was only a few parcels, middle class America didn't really care that much. Now that the excess baggage of the Left can't fit into a tractor trailer, there's something for everybody to hate as part of alleged 'core beliefs' of this party.
You are absolutely right. The Bolsheviks werent the majority but once they got power it was all over for everyone else. Democrats, go ahead and give the communists in your party control and see what happens, who gets purged.
The Dems need to place God as the Head of their party. Doing anything else is a waste of time. That goes for the Republican party as well.
You can see exactly this in multiple threads over at Democratic Underground. AOC/Sanders and uber-progressives say the Democratic Tent is too big and they want anyone moderate out. If you’re not liberal/progressive, they’ll take your cash and vote, but don’t want your opinion.
What on Earth does the writer *think* is, and has been, going on since Watergate?
How about “Night of the Long Knives”?
HUAC
... the coming a Leftist version will the the House Too-American Activities Committee if the Democrats ever got their way.
The Democrat version would be the LGBT friendly Night of the Weiner Party

“Give them firearms at the next debate and have them walk off 20 paces.”
I have no confidence they could hit anything at that distance.
