How many State and Local losses is it going to take before everyone in the leadership at the DNC is fired?
I'm a Cleveland Browns fan...and that is relevant! Do you know how much it takes for me to lose heart?
Retain the Governorship in Kentucky? No, sorry, we're going to elect someone who has promised to throw hundreds of thousands off of Medicaid.
Win back the State Senate in Virginia? No, sorry, we're going to re-elect a former shipyard owner whose company was convicted of defrauding the US Navy out of millions.
What the hell does it matter that we can have a progressive, sane, thoughtful and intelligent President, when my local School Board wants to teach that the earth is 6,000 years old, Creationism is just as valid a theory as "gravity", and global warming is just because god is hugging the earth a little tighter?
What the hell does it matter to protest against police brutality in the streets, when our local elected officials believe that law enforcement has been too restrained?
What the hell difference does it make that we have a president that wants to increase the minimum wage to $12 or $15 an hour when our local leaders think that we just ought to be damn thankful that the wealthy condescend to give us some crumbs from their table?
If this doesn't change prior to November 2016, we're going to wake up with a President Cruz, Trump or Carson, Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and Republican control of 47 State Governments.
There was a post a couple of days ago asking if we were watching the implosion of the Republican Party. How stupid does that post sound today?
Being a local Democrat is like watching Titanic on a continuous loop and rooting for the ship!
The entire leadership of the DNC needs to go, and they need to go now. In fact, I would have fired them all as soon as the polls in KY and VA closed last night. Whatever it is that they are doing is NOT WORKING!
