1. This is actually a fascinating article if you read between the lines and realize that HuffPuff is writing this from the perspective of the old guard, Clintonista, DC insider party apparatchiks.

2. I don't buy for a second HuffPuff's thesis that Obama is the one who destroyed the Dem party; we all know it was Hillary and we also all know that if the Clintons continue to control the Dem party, they're doomed (yea!).

3. After being crushed in this last election, it has been amazing to me that the Dems are doubling down on what caused them to be destroyed during the last THREE elections, namely, reappointing Nancy Peolosi, cosying up to the radical anti-Semitic Muslim Keith Ellison, moving even further to the left, and completely denying the REAL reasons Hillary lost.

4. All of his has left me wondering if/how the Dems were going to recover from their disastrous death spiral, particularly if President Trump manages to deliver on jobs and the economy, in which case not too many people will give a crap about what the Dems say or do.

5. Now I think I understand what could save them, namely Obama, their most popular leader in a quarter century, could oust the Clintonistas and their cohorts, retake the reins of the party, and reform it. Obama already gets it about the jobs issue based on his above quote. And Obama is still young and no doubt still ambitious and far from ready to go out to pasture.

6. Essentially, what I read between the lines in this article is that Obama wants to lead the revolt against the old guard Clintonista Dem party apparatchiks and will start the revolt by trying to install his own DNC chair. It's the Dem version of President Trump ousting the ossified, GOPe RINOs.

7. Should Obama succeed, then he's got a genuine chance to revitalize the Dem party (boo!), but if the old guard DC Dem insiders succeed in side-lining Obama, then the Dems are doomed to wander the deserts of defeat for many more years (yea!).

seems the Dems are pulling farther left to marshal the delusions they have remaining.

(see stages of grief)

The Dems are like a print magazine that is dying.

Obama is a racist islamophobe.

I, as a white man, fully support Keith Ellison for DNC chair.

I’m going to guess that BO runs for Illinois U.S. Senate, again, and wins, easily, in very blue Illinois.

Obama doesn’t want Keith Ellison to head the DNC?

Sound’s xenophobic to me.

Or, it’s the white side of Obama that doesn’t like the black Ellison. Obama is being racist.

In any case, Obama should not be in a decision-making capacity for democrats, since he’s done enough to destroy them.

Oh, wait.... perhaps Obama is the right person to make decisions for democrats.

Obama’s words mean nothing: one could argue they never did unless he was fomenting violence and division using community organizing tricks while dealing with the world; a much larger, less homogeneous community than he was used to!

Key takeaway is whether MSM vets DNC candidate properly, i.e., pros and cons treated with equal vigor.

I’d bet that George Soros recognizes Keith Ellison is DNC’s (NOW HIS) best chance for undermining America’s global role even more by putting the MB right into back rooms running political campaigns.

What does Jarret want next? Obama probably wants to give speeches, appear to be a leader and play golf. What is his other half going to do? And I don’t mean his wife.

The communist democrat party control the largest cities in the largest States and are in fact domestic enemies. .

The threat is real and immediate.

The only defense against them is a merciless offense, put their corrupt leaders in prison and disenfranchise their voters wherever possible.

100,000 votes in three States is the difference that put Trump in the White House over a diseased and demented arch criminal .

No way can they be allowed to get that close to the WH ever again.

Hussein Baraka must be politically neutralized, lest he lead the imbecile illegal alien and black shock troop and women against those who make America great.

Who better to combat him, Trump or some squish elite Republican?

I see the deals between Trump and Obama, versus between Kasich or Bush and Obama, being quite different.

Obama is the one who pulled them so far to the left and really rubbed raw the racial divide.

Hillary was a bad candidate, no doubt. But the party’s leftward tilt—that she in turn catered to—is in large party on Obama.

I don't buy for a second HuffPuff's thesis that Obama is the one who destroyed the Dem party

The donks have lost somewhere around a thousand seats at the federal, state, and local level, since Obama took over that party.

They've also lost control of a host of governorships and state houses under his watch.

He's presided over the worst Democrat losses in living memory, and is directly responsible for them. Sure his cohorts helped, but he was driving, and steered them right off a cliff.

Isn’t amazing that only 20 or so years ago the Dems actually had Jackson-Jefferson diners?
Now they should call them Mao-Muhammed diners.

Under obama they lost the House, the Senate, and the White House. Lost more Gov of states, . Some states like KY went all republican for the first time in decades, and over a 1000 seats.

Yep I say obama has basically destroyed the Dem party after he moved them way tot he left, nd they followed like a cult.
Obama care, open borders, PC gone over the top, no leading in the world, no foreign policy which helped America
