Democratic strategist Patti Solis Doyle said the party lacks a leader, message and agenda when asked about the state of the Democratic Party in an interview that aired Friday.

“Right now we’re leaderless, we’re messageless, we’re agendaless, we don’t have any alternative ideas to the president and the Republicans right now. So, you know, I’m concerned, to say the least,” Solis Doyle, who ran Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential bid, told journalist Mark Halperin on his podcast “Next Up with Mark Halperin.”

"You know, if your party holds the White House, the leader of the party is president. If your party doesn’t hold the White House, the leader of the party is the last, you know, president of that party. So right now for us, that’s Joe Biden, but he has completely — you know, he’s off the radar completely,” she said, adding that the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) “isn’t really the leader of the party.”

Solis Doyle also noted she has “never been happier not” to be in the middle of politics.

“It sounds really depressing, what’s going on at the party,” she said. “I mean, overall, when you lose, the party that loses gets, as you know — as I know, personally — attacked and criticized, and they’re the stupidest people that ever walked the planet, and ‘How could you have missed that?’ That’s what’s happening with the Democrats right now. They’re getting attacked from all sides.”

I’d say that is high on their agenda. But if that happens then why are they not running out of replacements ?
