This article is simply more of the same BS where the enemedia swore for months over and over again that Trump was done, Trump has no chance, no path to 270, etc.. I lost count of the number of times Trump was done and was definitely going to take the whole GOP down with him.
And as far as anger being stoked, if the Dems and the enemedia keep up this crap that they’re doing now, which was the same crap that got Trump elected in the first place, only now it’s ten times worse, the losses to the Dems on 11/6/2017 will be staggering because it won’t be the left’s anger that’s stoked, but the anger of the rest of the country.
The Dems are still clueless as to why they lost, they are in total disarray, and still have no clue as to how to get back into power. If they go radically left, that is, double-down on why they lost on 2016, by 2020 they will be a rump party on their way out like the Whigs.
And it will all be even worse for them if they put white-hating, racist nutjobs like Keith Ellison in charge. They’ll finish the job of driving whites out of the party, this time as a matter of policy. President Trump has just pealed the unions away from the Democrats, and Obama stabbing Israel in the back at the U.N., combined with President Trump’s staunch support of Israel, will dry up the Jewish donations of the Dem party.
And to top it off, none of the above is even really going to matter one whit if President Trump gets the economy roaring again and reduces the REAL unemployment rate of U6 with REAL jobs that pay REAL wages, and not the part-time Walmart clerk jobs that make up the bulk of the “new” jobs under Obama. People ultimately care about providing for their families more than they care about anything else, and THAT’S how they will vote in 2018 and 2020.
I think the article is saying the hard left will gain power in the DEM party not in the country. it’s not an anti Trump article.
The article is not BS. It makes a reasonable observation - that the Democratic party is being consumed by the rabid left which makes it difficult for Schumer to mount a "reasonable" opposition and makes it difficult for Schumer to defend the seats up for reelection.
This is an important point.
We need a loyal opposition. I trust GOPe with power not one wit more than I trust the democrats with power. I want an opposition that forces GOPe to keep its base happy and behind them. Otherwise we will just get the GOP that sold Gingrich's contract with America down the river the second they could grab all the goodies for themselves.
There are not goodies to be had anymore. It's save the country from at least 24 years of truly bad government, giving GHWB a pass, however arguably undeserved.
