Pathetic audience for Dems' livestream event
American Thinker ^ | July 17,2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/17/2017 3:56:32 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Make no mistake: for all their fury, Democrats are demoralized, and the smarter ones know they are in trouble. If the lack of a plausible nominee, the lurking Clinton Machine, and the obsessive hatred driving away the non-fanatics don't convince them, then maybe this will. Jack Heretik writes in the Washington Free Beacon:

Three high-profile Democrats, including the Democratic Party's two highest ranking officials, took part in a YouTube live stream on Tuesday in which they discussed hot-button issues, but the trio only drew 138 total viewers by the end of the event.

Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez; Rep. Keith Ellison (D., Minn.), the DNC's deputy chair; and Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) took part in the YouTube live stream.

The three party leaders discussed health care before Perez left and the conversation turned to net neutrality. Jessica Gonzalez from the pro-net neutrality group Free Press joined Ellison and Franken for the discussion.

These were supposed to be stars. As President Trump might tweet: SAD!

That's about six times the audience that Hillary attracted to one of her events, at least when not helped out by a major entertainment personality.

The Young Turks or the Jimmy Dore show get millions of people in their audience. Even Keith Olbermann gets a somewhat decent audience for his rants.

Lifson cites two links to the Washington Beacon in his article. Neither link goes to the Washington Beacon.

Here’s a link that does:

These Democrats would get better attendance if they joined a carnival sideshow.

If it wasn’t for the media carrying their water, including Hillary’s campaign, they would be at best a regional party.

Nothing.

Perez, Franken and Ellison refused to pay their parents, spouses or siblings, despite the pleas for mercy. And staffers long ago learned that their salaries include whatever their bosses demand of them.

The dems are on the ropes....and can be crushed. But the pubbies aren’t called the stupid party for nothing. They will blow it. This time next year leading into the midterms, we will still have Obamacare or worse, and the pubbies will own either. There will be no border wall under construction, Hillary will still not be indicted, no tax cuts. Voters that gave the pubbies control of congress and an (allegedly) Republicn President will be furious and stay home. Add a stock market crash, layoffs, rising unemployment rate, bankruptcies and a recession all hung around their neck - including Trump - and the republicans will be spanked.
