A simple question: Who is the leader of the Democratic Party? Who is leading the opposition to this nightmare?

58. I feel otherwise

He took over the reins of a rudderless, demoralized Democratic Party and led a practically nonstop campaign to turn our fortunes around. He was everywhere, doing backroom meetings as well as the rallies and talk shows. Howard was both the face of the party as well as its voice. He didn’t stop until his mission really did get accomplished. Without his efforts, there never would have been an Obama candidacy. His hands-off refereeing ensured that the Clinton-Obama rivalry for the nomination didn’t derail the party’s trajectory to the White House. It might not have worked with the “lookit me!” Sanders campaign of 2016, but it was the perfect tactic in 2008.
