Weakened Democrats, Opting for Total War on Trump, Bow to Their Voters
MSN News ^ | February 23, 2017 | JONATHAN MARTIN and ALEXANDER BURNS

Posted on 02/23/2017 9:03:20 PM PST by detective

Reduced to their weakest state in a generation, Democratic Party leaders will gather in two cities this weekend to plot strategy and select a new national chairman with the daunting task of rebuilding the party’s depleted organization. But senior Democratic officials concede that the blueprint has already been chosen for them — by an incensed army of liberals demanding no less than total war against President Trump.

Immediately after the November election, Democrats were divided over how to handle Mr. Trump, with one camp favoring all-out confrontation and another backing a seemingly less risky approach of coaxing him to the center with offers of compromise.

This article explains why Washington Governor Jay Inslee is doing what he is doing in terms of defying Trump’s policy toward illegal aliens.

Driving them to and isolating them in the Western coastal cities only makes it that much easier to confine them there, and WA, OR, CA Cloward-Piven themselves to death by their own hand.

Let West Coast Governors lure them there, then seal them in.

The question is, when will we begin to fight? Or will we?

The DNC will probably elect Keith Ellison as their leader this weekend. This will be the end of the “once honorable” Democrat Party. The new Democrat Party will have not but violence to project. If civil order breaks down, they will be the losers.

The vast majority of gun owners are on the right. We do not respond to civil disobedience due to the fact we believe in law and order and the courts. When and if and pray it never happens that total civil order breaks down, their will be hell to pay.

What they are doing is not having a hissy fit. It is an attempted overthrow of a duly elected Government. Before political correctness, it was referred to as a revolution. And our side treats it as a joke. Their side is dead serious.

“The DNC will probably elect Keith Ellison as their leader this weekend.”

that’ll pretty much end the very large amount of money donated to the Dems around the country by wealthy Jews.

What a bunch of losers. Jay Inslee telling them to stand tall and yet, when they do they loose. I love how in WA State the Attorney General that challenged Trump's immigration executive order has been handed his head by the Democrats in the State Legislature over an assault weapons and extended magazine ban.

Democrats who like living the high life off of the public as elected officials are having to make some hard choices. The DNC is going to augur into the ground and destroy the party.

I’m glad the Dems are doing this - because Trump is a jungle fighter, and his opponents are nancy boys. Bring it, snowflakes!

Of course, if we had a noodle-spined RINO like McLame or Romneycare, this action by the left would worry me - because the GOPe would fold like a wall of marmalade.

Not Trump.

“Ultimately, we’d like to have a few Republicans stand up to rein him in,” said Mr. Inslee. “The more air goes out of his balloon, the earlier and likelier that is to happen.”

And that is why you are seeing so much fake news and attachment of anything wrong and hoaxes to Trump.

It’s as if none of these things were happening before November.

It also going to be about language and fascist fanaticism to not only control the words we use but, exact phrases.

For instance, yesterday I inadvertently insulted a friend.

I caught it and apologized.

She then insisted I use an exact phrase, which I guess would be more to her liking but, more importantly begins control over the slightest jot, title, word or sentence.

I told her the apology stands on its own and that insisting on getting your way exactly and 100% of the time is going to leave you with a few less friends and may that’s okay, since you like meeting new people.

Now, your other friends are to polite or think it a waste of time to tell you the consequence of your over reach but, I am a true friend and don’t mind at all.

So, do you wish to continue ue down this path or should our friendship take a break for a while or forever....whichever comes first.

Don’t act in haste because my next action will be done with zero regard of conscience or regret, except that perhaps it was time and needed to happen.

The subject changed so fast, I thought I was in Oklahoma in the middle of a tornado.

You can never give an inch, all while smiling...

They are defeating themselves by displaying their hypocrisy through actions of hatred and intolerance. Either let law enforcement do their job (using batons), or let the anarchists burn down their communities like the 60s riots and LA riots and more recently, Berkeley.

Does anyone think there will be protesters at this meeting?

As someone has said in regards to Republicans protesting...."Naw, they have to work the next day".
