Democrat Disaster: Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich Threatens Creation of Third Party
Breitbart ^ | 11-12-2016 | Katherine Rodriguez

Bill Clinton former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich talked about creating a third party if the Democratic Party does not move in a more progressive direction.

“The Democratic Party can no longer be the same; it has been repudiated,” Reich said on a conference call with members from the progressive grassroots group Democracy for America.

“This has been a huge refutation of establishment politics, and the political organization has got to be changed. … If the Democratic Party can’t do it, we’ll do it through a third party.”

The Democratic Party is in an all-out civil war between the more progressive wing of the party and the more corporate wing of the party.

Some in the party are blaming progressives who supported Bernie Sanders for refusing to rally behind Hillary Clinton.

“The Sanders people should be mad at themselves,” said one well-connected Democratic strategist to the Hill. “If they had come out to vote, Donald Trump wouldn’t be president.”

What an absolute brilliant idea. The ideas dems had so far didn’t work, so let’s get even more aggressive as PROGRESSIVES! The old party must have been doing something wrong.

A farmer had a truck and he decided he could make money hauling hay. He didn’t make any money so he bought a bigger hay truck.

I think the owner of the truck was a democrat.

Rob Walton and the other progeny of Sam Walton coughed up 700-thousand for Hillary and the Democrats.

If you are not already doing so, this is 700,000 reasons for boycotting WalMart and Sam's Club.
