The Democrats are imploding
American Thinker ^ | 17 December 2019 | Thomas Lifson

It's too soon to predict that the Democrats will go the way of the Whigs, but the oldest political party in the world is tripping over its own doctrines; making a public spectacle of its inability to coherently sponsor debates; riven by ideological fissures that seem to be widening; driving away two bedrock constituencies, the white working class and black voters; and hitching itself to a doomed impeachment effort that could cost it dearly next November.

It's a great time to be alive if you are a Republican!

Consider the forthcoming presidential debates.

Next Thursday's scheduled debate is being boycotted by all its candidates because the food service provider at the host institution, Loyola Marymount University — itself a second choice venue after UCLA was chosen and rejected because of a strike there — is experiencing a strike, and the candidates refuse to cross a picket line. DNC chair Tom Perez, a former secretary of labor, is leaning hard on the parties to the strike to settle their differences (do you suspect there may be some quid pro quo promises?), so the squabble between the two constituencies of the Democrats, higher education and left wing labor unions, can end.

But solving that issue is child's play compared to the "diversity" issue facing the debate scheduled for next February:

Nine Democratic presidential candidates have called on the Democratic National Committee to relax its debate standards next year, allowing some lower-polling rivals onto the stage.

LOL. Wishful thinking. What proof do you have of that?

The corrupt media companies have to be punished. They need to lose their broadcast license.

Doesn’t sound antisemitic to me. It sounds like what it is; the truth.

“A number of the prominent early communists were Jewish”

lol. That might be the most delicate telling of the 20th century I’ve ever read.
