Donald Skunks The Democrats
nytimes.com ^ | JUNE 24, 2017 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 06/25/2017 3:16:31 AM PDT by Helicondelta

You know who is really sick and tired of Donald Trump winning, to the point where they beg, “Please, Mr. President, sir, it’s too much”?

Democrats.

The Democrats just got skunked four to nothing in races they excitedly thought they could win because everyone they hang with hates Trump.

If Trump is the Antichrist, as they believe, then Georgia was going to be a cakewalk, and Nancy Pelosi was going to be installed as speaker before the midterms by acclamation. But it turned into another soul-sucking disappointment.

“It’s Trump four and us zero,” says the Democratic congressman Tim Ryan of Ohio. “I don’t want to admit that. When it comes out of my mouth, it bothers me. But Trump does robo calls. He tweets. He talks about the races. He motivates his base, and he moves the needle, and that’s a problem for us. Guys, we’re still doing something wrong here because a) he’s president and b) we’re still losing to his candidates.”

The 43-year-old Ryan, who failed to unseat Pelosi as House minority leader last year, says that the Democrats’ brand is toxic, and in some places worse than Trump’s. Which is beyond pathetic.

Michael Douglas dumped Mo Dowd to marry Catherine Zeta Jones. I’m not sure who set up the tradition, but I’m glad to follow it (I had dinner at the same table as CZJ years ago and enjoyed meeting her as a person - she was both friendly and funny).

Hillary can’t accept the fact that she lost the presidential election because people didn’t like her, her ultra-left-wing politics, or what she would do to America.

And the democrat party as a whole has the same problem.

They cannot accept the fact that they are losing elections because people don’t like them, their ultra-left-wing politics and what they have done and promise to do to America.

Instead of uniting us they have turned half of the country into a tribal culture, divided into little and big special groups all screaming and grubbing for what they want and the rest of the country be damned.

And that has come back to haunt them because now their tribes have become more and more radical and started warring with each other and with the democrat party itself.

The colleges turned students into leftist radicals for the purpose of attacking and tearing down conservative and traditional America. But they were shocked when the students turned on them and used their own techniques against them.

The democrats have created a leftist monster that even they can’t control and people are fed up with it. But it is their Tar Baby, their identity, and they are stuck with it.

“Michael Douglas once had an affair with Dowd.”

So that’s how Douglas acquired his oral cancer, which he blames on oral sex. He got down and dirty with the wrong thang during his carefree single days. Let’s just say it’s Dowd’s revenge...

Democrats’ brand is toxic indeed they keep preaching to the slackers that it’s the governments job to take care of you for life pure BS for a vote massive debt and taxes ensue.
The left has a fear of growing up note college kids and full tilt slackers logic.

If you read between the lines Dowd is telling the party to stop running metrosexual males and start running former football players—it is easier to fool the stupid public that way.

When she says “messaging” she means “lying”.

The Democrats are lousy liars—she wants them to get better at it.

Dishonesty is the hallmark of liberal intellectual superiority.

This is a great read! It shows that here we are seven months later and the Democrats still have no idea why they lost. The kid from Ohio has a vague feeling that getting rid of Plastic Face would help, which is would but not much, but as far as any real ideas - nothing. Lies aren’t ideas. Chasing Russians is a fools errand that only shakes more money out of Hollywood. Even the Ohio kid knows that.
Go back to the drawing board Maureen; you have struck out again.

I'm sitting here chuckling at the prospect of Colin Kaepernick as a DIM House candidate from Commiefornia.
