I recently had a lunch meeting with a client of 25 years who is a lifelong member and financial supporter of the Democratic Party. While we managed to avoid politics as best we could, the inevitable subject of Donald Trump and the Democratic presidential field reared its head. Once my friend got past the usual left-wing talking points about Trump, I asked him a simple question. Given the current state of the American Left and their domination of the Democratic Party would the Democrats be able to govern a nation of 330 million people the size of the continent of Europe if they assumed all the reins of power in Washington D.C.? I was met with a blank stare and a stammered “I really don’t know.”
So, for the benefit of my friend and his fellow Democrats and leftists some further questions to help them answer that fundamental inquiry.
This same cabal that would be charged with governing the nation has, for the past three and a half years, marginalized, physically confronted and repeatedly accused 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump of being not only racists but fascists and white supremacists, as well as homophobic, xenophobic and among the most vile people on the face of the earth. What will be their intentions for these rightfully incensed citizens? Ignore them and hope they go away (which they will not)? Or succumb to their base in order to stay in power and continue to vilify nearly half of the voters in 2020, thus potentially fomenting serious ongoing confrontations and retaliation.

The question is, “Can Democrats be governed?”
Bump
If by “govern”, you mean “rule with an iron fist”, then, the answer is yes.
It’s been doing so since the 1910’s, although I’d argue “success” is not an objective term.
The Democrat Party admires Red China.
The Africanization of America proposed by the democrats will end America of the founders.
The process must be stopped dead.
I don’t think they could govern an America full of Americans but they’d probably do okay with an America full of Snowflakes with guilty consciences. That’s why the socialist democrats are talking about “eradicating” Americans once they take the White House in 2020.

The answer to that can be found by looking at how they have governed the big cities in America. Can’t think of one that could be considered a success.
Let’s be honest. BJ did alright. ‘Functional’ Republican. The real question is if the American VOTER would ever put a George McGovern in office. The founding fathers knew it was only right to give these lefties their due and let them be heard.
Various National Socialist and Communist Socialist government managed to govern.
Authoritarian governments have governed since the time of the Babylonians.
Their voting base will not care if every Republican voter was dragged to the city square and hung. They’d get over it in about a week.
They are pretty compliant people.
The RATS have no interest in “governing” -— they want TO RULE.
As long as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colert remained on the air, along with NFL football, everything would be fine.
George McGovern looks like George W. Bush compared to the latest cast of Democrat crazies.
The Democrats don’t intend to govern. They intend to rule.
No. The principle is that revolutionizes cannot govern.
They definitely plan to DESTROY America.
Sure. Didn’t Stalin govern the USSR?
They’ll govern us as well as they’ve governed downtown LA, downtown San Francisco, downtown Seattle... ect, ect, ect...
