Is This The End Of The Road For The Democratic Party?
2024-07-20
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] Despite having won five of the last eight presidential elections, the Democratic Party today is in far worse shape than it was in 1980.

It has been completely overrun by its America-hating, DEI-ESG-CRT-socialist-Marxist-spewing radical fringe, which obsesses over things such as "transgender" rights and a phony climate crisis instead of jobs and opportunity.

Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
don’t even speak the same language as the working class anymore, which helps explain why the head of the Teamsters Union spoke at the Republican convention — for the first time ever — saying how Trump "truly cares about working people." (To which the Democrats responded with anger and a sense of betrayal, as though they own union workers.)

Biden has been reduced to buying votes with hundreds of billions of dollars in borrowed money, and has been reduced to calling anyone who isn’t sufficiently woke a fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
Today’s Democratic Party is so devoid of talent that it handed the nomination to an 81-year-old who can barely put two words together. Democrats are now running around like Keystone Cops trying to find their way out of this mess — faced with the even more dismal prospect of nominating the supremely unqualified Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
To sum up, the Democratic Party is ripe for the taking.

The second reason that Democrats may be on the road to ruin is Trump’s pick for his running mate.

In an editorial this week, we said that Trump’s decision to tap J.D. Vance for the job was a political "masterstroke."

But it also shows that Trump learned from history. He is thinking less about this election and more about the ones to come. Like a good executive, Trump is grooming the next generation of leaders who can carry his vision forward.

True, Vance was once a never-Trumper. But he came to realize that he and Trump were aligned on all the important issues long before Trump selected him. That’s in stark contrast to H. W. Bush, who pledged to support Reagan’s agenda only if Reagan named him as his running mate.

At the Republican National Convention earlier this week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recounted how the Democratic Party in his state now "lies in ruins, the left is in retreat," for which his bold leadership deserves credit. "Electing Donald Trump
...The Hero of Butler, Pennsylvania...
," he said, "gives us the chance to do this all across America."

He’s right, and Trump is off to a good start.

His decision to place Vance — a millennial who is just 39 years old — on the ticket could turn out to be one of the wisest of his career, if indeed it does usher in an era of unbroken conservative governorship.

Of course, anything can happen. Trump could lose the election. His second term could be a disaster. Vance could fall to some catastrophic scandal.

But at the very least, conservatives for the first time in decades have a reason to hope that a century of losing ground to the left may finally be coming to an end.

#6  The Dem party has been assembled like the Winchester Mystery House. It is full of contradictions, useless additions and may be haunted.

Not if they don't understand that the problem is not Democratic Party but the Globalist ideology originating in EUrope and adopted by American "elites". It's, sorta, like Catholicism in 17th century Britain.

#4  Algorithms determined that the video may contain adult content

The content is Joe Biden who *is* nominally an adult, so it is adult content, in a sense.
What kind of algorithms? Top Algorithms.

#3  This is the 3rd time in my lifetime the commies overreached.

If they had patience, they’d be up against Squish Pence and would take it all.
