Democrats have a new goal: not just to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump in the November election, but also to destroy the movement behind him.
The New York Times reports Thursday that Democrats, encouraged by Trumps struggles to deal with the controversy surrounding Khizr Khan, hope to press their advantage to squash Mr. Trumps movement.
The Times cites David Plouffe, an Obama adviser-turned-Silicon Valley lobbyist, urging Democrats to destroy Trump and his kind.
Recently, Californias Lieutenant Governor, Gavin Newsom, made similar remarks, saying that even if Trump won, his campaign marked newsom beginning of the end for gop for the Republican Party.
The Times elaborates with quotes from other Democrats, indicating the same ambition:
The first order of business is winning, said Geoff Garin, a strategist for Mrs. Clintons 2008 campaign who now advises Priorities USA Action, a pro-Clinton super PAC. But the larger stakes of the election are putting the country on a path where Trumps views of the world are far in our rearview mirror.
Senator Barbara Boxer of California said that a Democratic win in November was far from guaranteed, but that she hoped for a complete revulsion of the Trump wing that would lead to a realignment of the Republican Party.
The Democrats goal is not particularly new. President Barack Obama said after the 2012 election that he hoped the fever of Republican opposition to his policies would break[

These are dangerous people. They better be careful. They may get what the wish and many will die.
I think the point is that straight white males need not apply.
dont underestimate the left.
They destroyed the Tea Party, with the help of the GOPe.
A lot of people didn’t think it was possible but they seem to have suceeded.
The Republican Establishment wants us destroyed too.
Trump’s speech today in Portland Me is worth watching.
Are they going to destroy Bernie Sander’s movement as well? Those folks repudiate the elite political class, corporate cronyism and the NWO as well. Everything the Democrats and the GOP establishment represent.
Shrillary should be anathema to the Sanders’ voters.
We must destroy khan, his business and everything having to do with this evil Muslim asshole!!!! I hate, no I despise Muslims and their stupid slaves they call wives!!! Now those assholes are evil to women!
lol, good luck.
My understanding
was he had an affair while married to Kimberly...unless the woman he had the affair with was something super extraordinary what was he thinking? Just saying...
They have no advantage to press...its a false economy.
I dont underestimate the left.
THAT’S WHY I GO TO TWITTER!!!
This war isn’t going to be won on MSM.
THE ONLY WAY IS FOR PEOPLE HERE TO SIGN UP, LEARN AND USE TWITTER and other social media sites.
There’s where we can win.
We underestimate them if we keep using outmoded means f reaching people or depend on means that are WHOLLY in dem ‘s pockets.
Of course, because they are the establishment. They can’t stand the objection to the lobbyists, the cheap labor, the open borders, the unfair trade deals, and NATO not paying. That is their bread and butter. That’s what keeps them in power. Donald Trump and his supporters are a threat to that. If Trump loses this election, I hope, I hope that there is someone willing to carry his movement forward in 4 years. Regardless of what happens in this election, the movement shouldn’t die.
And to your point:
“President Barack Obama said after the 2012 election that he hoped the fever of Republican opposition to his policies would break”
Then along came the 2014 midterms....
One way they might try to do it, if he’s elected, is to manufacture some grounds for impeaching him at some point in his administration.
Between the Dems, and the GOP establishment, they might even have the votes.
One word: BRASS
“THE ONLY WAY IS FOR PEOPLE HERE TO SIGN UP, LEARN AND USE TWITTER and other social media sites.”

Damn !
Are you telling me that folks will just ignore my smoke signals?
.
Sounds like Hitler’s master race. Maybe they want a Master Liberal RAT Race by getting rid of all of us, ya think?
They didn’t destroy the tea party. It’s alive and well.
In the Obama era, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. The tea party movement (small letters as I’m talking generic and not organized) is responsible for those gains.
Despite voting so many Republicans into office in the past eight years, the tea party has been scorned and ignored and those who have been voted in have not kept their promises.
That’s the group Trump is tapping into and Sanders tapped into the left wing OWS crowd.
LOL
The KLINTOONS will not occupy the WH again, no matter what happens on Election Day.
Period.
