The Back to the Future Democrats: The party of Pelosi is trapped in identity politics
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 02/02/18

The Democrats are like characters in a Bill Murray movie. They keep reliving the same day, trapped in the rhythms and routines of campaign 2016. They persist in the rhetoric, tropes, gestures, figures, and policies that delivered the presidency, the Congress, and the bulk of statehouses and governor's mansions to the Republican Party. What they can't escape is identity politics—the slicing and dicing of the electorate by race, sex, orientation, gender identity, country of origin, dietary preference, what have you. Meanwhile President Trump has run off with the most saleable of the Democrats' old issues and the foundations of their coalition. You'd think they'd notice.

Instead the Democrats are too paralyzed by disgust with Trump to care.

It is not enough to elect people in R jerseys if they are Bush League Republicans hell bent on amnesty for 30 million new Democrats.

AZ is being set up to elect McSally as Flake’s replacement as Amnesty Senator.
The Bush League Republicans are using Joe Arpaio’s ego to crowd out Kelli Ward, who is the reason Flake is quitting.
They want to sneak in McSally.

That’s why she keeps calling Trump Bush. The only thing in her pea brain is an ideological meme of politics. All Republicans are the same person to her. All issues are defined by her memorized ideological template and differing circumstances don’t register at all.

Democrats can’t win without workers.

But Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Democratic elite looks down on them as the great unwashed.

They’ll lose another election cycle and wonder what went wrong.

And they still don’t understand why they lost in 2016.

They’re soreheads who are still fighting Bush v. Gore.

The kids born that year are coming of age—the Donks also need to GROW UP and MOVE ON.

They’re the party of the coasts and the college towns but hold little else.

And they have no message except Americans are victims and only government can protect them from their white male sexist homophobic transgenderist racist oppressors.

No wonder they’re like Rodney Dangerfield in geting no respect.

It couldn’t happen to a more deserving party.

They are distressed Jeb isn’t President.

They’d be tying the toxic Bush brand around theb GOP.

Trump took that away from them.

The Democrats are the Groundhog Day Party.

Not even Doc and Marty McFly could get them out of it.

...all the Democrats have left is virtue signaling and grievance mongering. Maybe that's why Nancy Pelosi looked so unhappy Tuesday.

Democrats have voter fraud left and they'll be using that in November....

I repost a comment I made two days ago:

In every area the Left has gained control, the audience has dwindled. They think if they keep playing the same tune, they will succeed. The only thing it proves is the definition of insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

It proves another diagnosis: Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Those liberal narcissists, or course, won’t accept the diagnosis and will soon go stage IV and be terminal.
