A CW largely instigated by Trump.
When he chose to make his first Oval Office address on the Wall and the shutdown, he knew that Chuck and Nancy’s egos were such that they would both absolutely want the spotlight in the response.
They were revealed in front of a national TV audience to be decaying, addle-brained fossils.
This threw blood in the water for AOC and her cohorts. The radical young guns of the Dem Party are looking at the existing leadership like a young mountain lion on the trail of an arthritic old moose.
The battle is coming, and soon. Personally I expect the Dem Party to emerge far more radical even that it is today.
Good analogy, and I believe you are correct.
