Is February 28, 2017, 'The Night the Democratic Party Died'?

I was once a Democrat. In those days, I thought I was on the team of truth, justice, and the American way. It was fun to be a Democrat then. But... Bye, bye Miss American Pie. Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry. I woke up.

I'm no longer a Democrat (it's been many years now), and though on the rarest of occasions I worried I'd made a mistake, Tuesday night watching the shell-shocked faces of the Democrats on the floor of Congress while Donald Trump delivered his magnificent speech, I knew I had made no error. I even wondered what was going on in my head in those isolated moments I doubted myself.

The Democratic Party members watching that speech looked like a party of the living dead. They didn't know how to react. They didn't know if they were Americans. They didn't know who they were.

Every time Trump called for bipartisanship for the good of our country, they winced. They couldn't stand it and didn't know how to react because they are the least bipartisan people in the world and they scarcely know what cooperating is. Working together is not in their natures. Yes, they talk about it endlessly but they never do it. (See: the history of the Soviet Union) Maybe it's not in their DNA. (I should check mine.)

To become relevant again all the Rats have to do is get a chairman who realizes you can’t win with out of the closet liberal candidates and recruit a bunch of “moderate” candidates and they can win Congress back again in several states. It happened in 2006 and can easily happen again. Right now they are so furious and deranged it is not likely but by 2020 or 2022 they could very well get the loons out of power and try and repeat 2006 again.

Truth be told, a substantial number of them are not. They are AINOs, Americans In Name Only.

Politicians *always* overreach...

Another reason to demand TERM LIMITS and an end to the professional politician. I think it was Mark Twain who said that politicians, like diapers, need to be changed frequently, for the same reason.
