The dirty secret smart Democrats know (but won't admit) about Trump

President Trump's shocking victory in November and the tumultuous beginning of his presidency have shattered many assumptions about American politics.

For many liberals and progressives, the weeks since Donald Trump’s inauguration have been filled with soul-searching and even confusion about their place in American politics.

Trump’s flurry of executive orders, coming in quick succession on matters ranging from federal employment and immigration to reorganizing the National Security Council, have driven deep division within the Democratic party. The reaction to Trump’s action have pitted pragmatic, center-left politicians against protesting activists forming “The Resistance.”

Many Democratic disagreements with Trump’s executive orders are valid and there is a clear opportunity for opposition to Trump on the basis of their faults and flaws.

However, if Democrats want to win back power they cannot do so by moving further left, resisting Trump at every move, and taking to the streets.

Put simply, the Democratic Party is on life support and there is a quiet, but ruthless, war being fought over its future....

The carrot’s eaten.

Oh, I think there’s plenty left to the carrot; we haven’t the mass exodus of the productive class as of yet.

We’ve lost to the 50.1%+ (see below)...lots of percentage points until ZERO left to steal.

>Democrats are finished. Toast. Yesterday’s news.

NEVER discount your enemy.

DEMs only lost because they weren’t playing the game as well as DJ (anyone truly believe a (R)\GOP *would* have won, weak kneed and finger in the wind??).
