Democrats won’t win back voters they view with contempt.
Everyone knows that Republicans have political problems, from their failure to repeal Obamacare to President Trump’s erratic tweets to his sputtering efforts to make populism a governing philosophy. But what about Democrats? While their problems don’t get as much media attention, Democrats are now both the minority party and a toxic brand to much of middle-class America.
Take last Friday, when Governor Jim Justice of West Virginia announced he was becoming a Republican. “The Democrats walked away from me,” he told a Trump rally in Huntington. “Today I tell you as West Virginians, I can’t help you any more being a Democrat governor.”
“I think it’s a sign of the times,” Jose Gonzalez, a 37-year-old project manager at a local steel plant, told the Washington Post at the rally. “The Democratic Party used to look out for the downtrodden, but more and more working people are going for Republicans.”(continued)

Look in the mirror, John Fund you GOPe hack.
The Dem motto: “Hey. Someone’s gotta work.”
In addition to their wars on law abiding firearms owners, free speech, consumer choice...

I remember hearing Fund on the Steve Malzberg radio show in 2007. He said the Republicans need to pass the “immigration reform bill”, because when Hillary becomes president in 2008 she will pass full amnesty.
As though a half-measure from the RINOs would even slow down the b1+ch queen.
She would merely say the "reform" only "pointed the way" to what was the "right side of history."
But is does conclusively prove that Fund has 100% RINO comprehension.

Wish people would stop trying to wise up the Dems. One of these days they’re bound to listen and get it right.
Look in the mirror, John Fund you GOPe hacK.

I read the article. Not a negative word about Trump or the GOP. Very, very negative on the Dems prospect for recovering from their 2016 defeat.
Fund wrote quite the good article. Pretty much aligned with your average Freepers view of things.
Yep, Fund is a Never Trumper!
Well... the Fabian Socialists used to argue that it is good to support opposition parties when they attempt to expand government power, because some day the socialists would get elected and they were going to need power.
Everyone is right. John Fund is a hack
Agreement can easily be overcome.
That's cheating. Don't you know, the hip thing to do nowadays at FR is act like you are more pure than... well... everybody else, as far as I can tell. Limbaugh, Levin, Sessions, Cruz, Lee, etc have all been dismissed by some here.
The utter lack of reason being applied to discussions is sometimes so thorough that I can't decide whether it is subversion or disease at play.
John Fund is reporting. Quite accurately, by the way. Which is rare. He is NOT a leader of any party. Even so, his thinking is clearer and his rightward leanings are more consistent than those of many here.
For Pete's sake, just last month Fund raked McCain over the coals (and McCain's press office, the NYT, as well) for essentially being a fraud.
A mere couple weeks after laying out, in his wonderfully succinct and unpretentious style, the gaping hypocrisy and BleachBitten memory of the media regarding the only truly scandalous case of foreign collusion in our time: The Clintons and the Chi-comms. Literally, money from the Chinese military into their campaign. And much, much more. He mentions Hill's uranium yard sale too.
What on earth possesses people here to drop their hold on all reason and reach for the tar and feathers at the drop of a pretty damn conservative hat?
Cult of personality certainly might explain some of it, though it's not something I'm qualified to diagnose, really.
A ridiculously obtuse guilt-by-association regarding anybody from a site that hosts a very wide range of viewpoints? Definitely that's part of it.
Drunk on unprecedented winning maybe?
Driven stark raving mad by poor FR site performance?
Who knows?
Two things are clear, though, to others who have cheated like you and read the article and the comments:
1) John Fund is right in the article we are discussing here today.
2) Nobody seems to disagree, but most here hate him and that's more important.
Maybe the guy who runs FR, who does seems quite able to reason from what I've seen, could create a new type of virtual soap box for such better-than-thou venting. Perhaps it is therapeutic at some level for certain folks, I don't know.
But I do miss what seemed like a higher percentage of reasoned comments in years past.

As do I. But then again creating a reasoned comment in a single sentence after failing to read past an article title is a daunting task.
But that is 90% or more of what is dished up by Freepers these days. As for me: I don’t read those one-liners and I don’t post them.
So thanks for your support for my position on Fund, at least this article by Fund. I greatly appreciate it.
“But I do miss what seemed like a higher percentage of reasoned comments in years past.”
Indeed.

.... and finding no welcome mat from the GOP(Globalist Oligarchy Party). The Globalist Oligarchs have no use for the American middle class blue collar types. They hate them. Sad. F the GOP.
I've been called ridiculously inaccurate and immature things for my goose apparently being out of step, at times - if you know what I mean.
I'm a sticks and stones kinda guy, generally, and could probably not care too much less about that without stronger medication.
But I do worry about our side, at times.
Are the boundaries of Trump-only Safe Spaces being laid around us here? Is there a new form of class warfare defined by what date you fell in love with Trump and by how many generally decent conservatives you can keep from being recognized as late or partial supporters/converts to Trumpism ?
I mean, is FR evolving into RF (Reason-Free) where admission requires proof of your race-ial purity delineated by a no-questions support in the early primaries?
I'm too dang old to find my way back to college, but at times I feel like the campus has found me.
To be clear, I'm questioning some of his supporters, not the man himself. Trump knows how to grow the brand and is wise enough to understand that winning converts from lost sheep, through logic and results should be the most satisfying and vision-based kind of winning.
Certainly Trump is a type of savior any reasoned analysis would show, believer or not.
I wonder how many believers consider the real Savior's mission? He certainly was critical of the establishment of His party - Jews/Israel. But He definitely would not refuse the forgiveness of or at all discourage enthusiasm of late-comers. Quite the opposite. In fact, He gave us a parable denouncing the sin of jealous minds which might think later comers should be less rewarded than folks on the job earlier.
Not only His thinking and preaching were to the contrary of first-comers-only jealousy, His actions proved it as well.
Ask Paul, the greatest evangelist ever. And former/stubborn anti-Trumper (analogously) who, rather than being shunned by Christ, was actually drafted onto the team from the evil establishment.
Because He understands the incredible value of converting otherwise well-meaning and productive, knowledgeable folks.
