McCarthy: Trump has ‘broken the Democratic party’
The Hill ^ | 03/23/2025 | AILIA ZEHRA

Posted on 03/23/2025 6:01:41 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Sunday that President Trump has “broken the Democratic Party,” adding that it has become “leaderless” and party members are “fighting among themselves.”

“It is a huge mess,” McCarthy said of the present state of the Democratic Party in a conversation with radio host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” Sunday on WABC 770 AM. “It wasn’t just that President Trump won the election. He has now broken the Democratic Party,” he said.

Is Kevin upset or happy about this? I can't tell. (S)

This has been said before. And history shows they regroup quickly. To keep them broken the Trump administration cannot let off. We need to keep pounding the rats so they stay down.

The President won’t be running again. He has nothing to lose and I expect he will keep his foot on the gas until he leaves office.

Read my lips helped them rebound.
Was Clarence Thomas too premature? The country was too into Borkism-it would work no matter who was nominated.

No, Kev. They broke themselves.

You don’t give the left Dan Quayle’s to use as a piñata either. Hindsight is 20-20. Sarah Palin wasn’t ready for prime time as her non-followup showed.

Not even bent. They are the party of the government and while flummoxed for the time being they will regain power. Whatever the Democrats are the Republicans will find away to be the party of Stupid.

So far Trump has been great but there has not been a structural change to permanently shrink government and restore liberty. Populism being what it is can turn.

They broke themselves. They invented a monster under the bed and made him so big and horrible that they can’t put their feet on the floor.

They scared their voters to death and can’t get away from it. Their true believers spend all day screaming and crying from fear, yet cannot express what they are afraid of.

they only appear broken at the moment because Trump isn’t letting them filibuster anything like usual. So to the left it looks like their leadership isn’t doing anything. When in reality there is nothing they can do but take Trump to court since he isn’t trying to pass any legislation they can block.

Then there’s W. Turning the other cheek made the Kenyan look more than an empty suit deserving a chance. ‘Above it all’ works when you’ve got lieutenants and the MSM doing the drive-by dirty work that goes unopposed.

The pendulum swings both ways and the experience with both Bushes may yet suggest we’ve learned our lesson.

“”””The President won’t be running again. He has nothing to lose and I expect he will keep his foot on the gas until he leaves office.””””

And he is not getting any younger. I believe he wants a great legacy and will do as much as he possibly can to get it.

My hope is that we are not underestimating President Trump and those around him. MAGA!

Make the DIMocRAT party the new Whigs.

“ They broke themselves.”

They sure did. They thought their horrid corrupt governance was eternal and invincible.

But it did take Trump to expose them for what they are. Thank God there are still enough Americans who hunger for the return to normalcy. The scales dropped from their eyes.

Trump also broke the previous leadership of the Republican Party.

“This has been said before. And history shows they regroup quickly.”

The Democrats never been broken to this extent before. In large part that’s due to how extreme they’ve become in public (they were always just as extreme in reality, just hid it well...even fooling some FReepers to this day, who claim, without evidence that “RINOs are no better than Democrats).

“To keep them broken the Trump administration cannot let off.”
Don’t worry, while Trump 1.0 thought Democrats wanted what is best for the country, Trump 2.0 knows it’s just the opposite, and also knows that much, probably most, of the Republican Party also cannot be trusted on MAGA...but thankfully all but a very few Republicans know that they better not try to openly fight Trump.
