Dem Rep Ryan: ‘The House Is Burning Down’ In Democratic Party
Breitbart ^ | 11/21/16 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 11/21/2016 11:55:01 AM PST by Enlightened1

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH), who is challenging House Minority Leader Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), stated, “I’m pulling the fire alarm, because the house is burning down, and we better get our act together or we’re going to cease being a national party.”

Ryan said, “[T]he average American, the average working-class American, flipped their middle finger to the establishment, the Democratic establishment, the Republican establishment, Wall Street. They think that everybody’s more concerned with the donor class than they the working class.”

He added, “[W]e can’t keep going down the same road. … I’m pulling the fire alarm right now, is what I’m doing in the Democratic Party. I believe we’re in denial of what’s happened. I’m pulling the fire alarm, because the house is burning down, and we better get our act together or we’re going to cease being a national party. We’re going to be a regional party that fails to get into the majority, and fails to do things on behalf of those working class people that were the backbone of the Democratic Party for so long. we better get our stuff together.”

Not to worry - naming an America hating Mooslimb as the head of the DNC will be a great step forward .......... straight into hell.

Its incumbent on us to help an opposition we can tolerate. We really should be giving props to the patriots in our third parties.

Well, the whole idea of a party system was not encouraged by the Constitutional authors.

What we have coming up soon, with Trump and Pence and a host of other serious people, may be more like the divinely inspired vision that many of the forefathers had. Where the real action will move back to the primaries and there aren’t any two fixed parties, only a major party (GOP) and its challengers.

I believe the most credible challenge will look like libertarian, and that only if this current Trump jump started GOP gets too far right for where the people are.

That’s what I thought, “He sounds sane, why doesn’t he switch parties?”

I am heartily endorsing Nasty Old Nancy Botoxly as the next House Minority Leader. She’s done such a good job for the House Democrats. How could anyone do a better job than her? ....ROFLOL.............SMIRK!......

It IS fun to watch her writhe, isn't it?
She's already 76 years old and she can't shrink any more (4'11") so she MIGHT call it a day.

This is just an attempt to confuse with extra Ryans.

I know he’s a democrat but I have to say that I can’t find a single thing wrong with what he said right there.

The problem: the Democrats need to get away from the influence of the Clintons. It’s a process that could take up to a decade to complete.

"Well, the whole idea of a party system was not encouraged by the Constitutional authors."

You are correct. Actually, there were no parties during the first and second presidential election. It was only during the race between Adams and Jefferson that one became the representative of the Federalists (Adams) and one became the representative of the Democrat-Republicans (Jefferson). There are actually many warnings by founders as to the evil of political parties.
