Scott Jennings Says the Democratic Party's 'Big Tent' Is About to Become Its Biggest Nightmare

A big tent may end up being the death of what was once the Democrat Party.

Scott Jennings made the case on Tuesday as the country waited to see whether five Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates in Missouri, Michigan, Kansas, Virginia, and Washington state would topple Democrat incumbents and push the party even further toward the radical left. What’s unfolding now is not just a primary-season skirmish; it’s the visible advance of a hostile takeover.

Establishment Democrats who refuse to condemn their ideological allies, along with the party’s progressive wing, have spent months celebrating the “big tent” chief among them being Bernie Sanders. Jennings’s warning is simple: take Democrats at their word. If this is the coalition they’ve chosen, then the party is no longer hiding what it has become; it is openly stating it.

"big tent"(big top), lots of clown capacity. Sadly, the 85% of clueless folks out there are too dumb to comprehend what's going on or don't care. And just who the 'f' is this irish guy burnknee keeps talking about? Al O'gawkey. Says the man with 3 residences............

The Democratic Party is now known as the Islamic/Marxist Alliance (aka Red-Green Alliance).

For decades, the Rats have played the race card with ethnic minorities while catering to Wall Street globalists and open borders. The backlash to that is the present socialist agenda. Hopefully, it breaks the Rats into two factions and makes them noncompetitive in many elections.

And Pelosi used to call conservatives “Extreme” for wanting to pay bills and eliminating unnecessary spending.

As we sit here laughing at the African Raghead Camel jockeys, they are eating our lunch. Muzzies, Africans and Caribbeaner squaws are taking over our country. Congratulations American dummies? Go get your sex changes and forget about America. You don’t have to worry about U.S.A. being Numbah One anymore. We’re losers in last place.

“85% of clueless folks out there are too dumb to comprehend what’s going on or don’t care.”

We are paying the price for turning education over to the commies the past 40 years. They took over universities, graduated radical PhDs, infiltrated textbook companies, took over School Districts and unions all over the country, and made Howard Zinn their God. We are reaping 40 years of them sowing “Hate America” and “America is Evil.”

It took 2-3 generations to get to this point. It will take that long to undo the damage.

We are having to simultaneously fight two evil pestilences bent on our destruction: Islam and Communism. And 85% of America is clueless.

Scott and many other still don’t get it. There are enough voters to elect socialists and communists that it can’t be put back in the box. Enough believers exist to elect them in a wide range of offices. We saw this with big cities and progressed to the states, and now on the Federal level. All the advise I have is be prepared.

I know quite a few staunch Democrats. Most are older folks. They believe in hard work. They put the flag out on holidays.

And they are totally unaware of how socialists/communists are taking over their party.

That’s because they get all their news from MSNBC.

I don’t know how to fix this. I do know that trying to gently change their minds doesn’t work. As the old saying goes, You can lead a horse to water. But you cannot make him drink.

I keep hearing pundits talking about the demise of the RAT party but I'm not so sure. biden had, at best, a dozen supporters at his rallies but they still managed to get him into office.

Think about it. He was already clearly in a state of cognitive decline but they kept him in the White House for 4 years. Don't underestimate the party of evil.

In addition to commies from anywhere, the Demonicrat Party welcomes all fellow traitors.

In modern history, seemingly across the worlds, the trend of all “liberal” parties has been towards marxism/extremism.

I supposed we should only be surprised it hasn’t happened faster in the Democrat Party
