CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats

33. The party is going to have this discussion at some point regardless

Some of this strikes me as theater. Democratic leadership isn’t viewed as very popular nationally, and this isn’t even an ideological or racial issue for most. Ask most democrats, and the reaction is that leadership is tepid and has not been effective.

Slotkin was also on Smith’s program, and most know he’s a blowhard and if she answered with canned responses that democratic leadership is doing great, she would have been pilloried by him.

We haven’t seen Jeffries as speaker, so I personally don’t believe he should be thrown under the bus. I’m willing to give him a chance. So far, he’s done a decent job keeping his caucus in line, and has even managed to peel off republicans occasionally making life very difficult for little Mikey.

Schumer, on the other hand… and it’s not really all his fault, but either way, it’s time for him to take a hint from Durbin. He’s not from this era and the way he operates doesn’t fit our current politics.
