Politics has become so mindless Im almost ready to watch soccer. On the left, Trump is the root of all evil. On the right, the pro-Trumpers mostly just repeat themselves. So to make things more interesting, let a Trump supporter tell you how the Democrats can win an election.
Spoiler: Its not Bernie Sanders holding the party back; its Barack Obama.
I know at this moment, it looks pretty hopeless. I dont think socialism is the ticket, or open borders either. And the Abolish ICE crowd makes it seem as if the party of FDR and JFK has a death wish.
But the wheel turns and somehow yesterdays big loser eventually ends up on top. In Britain, you have the impossible Jeremy Corbyn, but faced with a feckless Theresa May, Corbyns Labor Party nearly won the last election. So anything can happen.

"So whats stopping them? Its not Bernie Sanders, and its not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Instead, the barrier is Barack Obama, who radicalized the party with his pessimism, who reminded us of past sins, who told Americans they should feel ashamed of themselves." The Democrats have become the anti-American party.
I'm disturbed at how vulgar and nasty the Democrat women have become too.

But we also remember things like the Pablo Casals concert at the White House back in 61, and were sorry that thats not happening today.
No we don't. I'm no youngster, and I don't even know what a Pablo Casals is.

Obama and Clinton are AWOL.
Does the Democratic Party have a leader?
No one knows. No one who is popular or credible, thats for sure.

The author is correct that it is Obama, not Bernie. However, it is a “weak link in the change sort of ting. i.e. remove the weak link (Obama) and the next weakest link (Bernie) becomes the weak link.

What’s holding the left back is their bloodlust to slaughter babies. It’s starting to manifest in madness.

I can't find a great, even if tasteless, cartoon of several days ago which showed a rat on stage farting into a microphone,
"Open Borders, Abolish ICE, Socialism etc.
Very succinct.

Short version: he encourages Dems to 1. get more celebrities ("cultural outreach to the artists of our time"), 2. forgive millennial student loan debt through bankruptcy, 3. oppose lobbyists and corruption, and 4. healthcare reform with single payer for those with pre-existing conditions.
1. They already have 98% of the celebrity world. More does nothing.
2. Dumb idea, but perfect for Democrats.
3. Dems cannot substantively oppose their main sources of income, nor allow a focus on it that the voters won't let go.
4. Dumb idea, but perfect for Democrats.

“His charisma enabled him to win despite the moralizing message. But his successors dont possess his personal charm, and his legacy burdens his party. If it cant get over him, it wont adapt. It will die.”
the problem with this thesis is that the Dem party has now been so thoroughly infected with the obamunism virus that it has become a terminal condition ...
