Reduced to their weakest state in a generation, Democratic Party leaders will gather in two cities this weekend to plot strategy and select a new national chairman with the daunting task of rebuilding the party’s depleted organization. But senior Democratic officials concede that the blueprint has already been chosen for them — by an incensed army of liberals demanding no less than total war against President Trump.

The problem with waging total war is that when you lose you lose totally.
Mid-terms are going to be very tough on the Democrats.
Their strategy will get it’s first test, and I’m thinking it’s going to be very ugly for them.
They have a lot of Senators exposed, and the Republicans have few exposed.
The Republicans will probably pick up seats in the House too.
Yikes, sucks to be them...

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health
Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.
The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.
A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.
A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.
The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

So protect your mental health by never watching ABCNNBCBS and some Faux liberals.
Never read any article by the NY or LA Slimes, Compost, SF Gay Rhonical, WSJ supposedly about President Trump.
Then: Donate Monthly to Free Republic and don’t read posts labeled as Fake News or Not Even News. Let Trump drive the liberals and their mediots even more insane and depressed with his real news from Tweets and his controlled Press Conferences!
Become a monthly Donor to Free Republic and avoid Fake New and have better mental and physical health.
Total war also involves irrationally going against the other side, even in situations where they are correct.
Ask Joe Goebbels how asking for “Total War” worked out for him.
Never go full-retard.
Might lose some governorships in the next cycle, though. New Jersey for sure, I think.
The Democrat party is made up of factions. Many at cross purposes to each other. They have been able for many decades to keep them all satisfied and separated by handing out favors and pork barrel legislation.
But now they have no power to keep the peace and no leader to coalesce around.
If Ellison is made chairman the factions will be forced even further apart by his rhetoric and racism, if not his religion as well, but nobody would admit it.
They have a conundrum: Go more liberal and risk losing more seats in the House and Senate or moderate their stance, go-along-to-get-along with Trump, and risk the donations and possibly even whole factions deserting them .......................
As usual, tone deaf strategy which will further weaken their party - that definitely makes it a little easier to Make America Great Again.
DEEP $TATE E$TABLI$HMENT’$ WAR ON TRUMP

Based on what our Gov has done lately, that’s almost a given. And it has little to do with what’s happening in DC..
As if they haven’t been in a full fledged war already....they are learning that the adage is true - in war, the best laid plans all go out the window when the first shots are fired....
“Bow to Donors” would be accurate.
“Bow to Voters” is just a bald-faced lie.
Okay. Don’t like to hear that, but it is New Jersey.
Maybe we can pick up somewhere else.
Thanks for the mention
