2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)If the DNC/Democratic Party Actually Had it's Shit Together, [View all]
We'd/they'd be blasting the airwaves with this simple Truth-Bomb to utterly destroy the GOP brand
permanently for decades to come, ushering in a revolutionary & historic Democratic take-over of both
houses of Congress.
This IS the Democrats moment of opportunity, to drive this one simple truth home to the American People:
GOVERNMENT-HATERS ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY INCAPABLE OF
GOVERNING & THEREFORE UNFIT FOR PUBLIC OFFICE. PERIOD.
EXHIBIT A: HOUSE GOP
It's a short, simple, and self-evidently true statement. If trumpeted from every Democratic rooftop, in a sustained
and unrelenting way, it would set the stage for the Democratic Presidential nominee to win big, with coat-tails the
size of Texas.
Right now the House GOP is in complete disarray, is already a laughing stock in DC, of every national political
observer and commentator who can still fog a mirror. The GOP has infamously become "The Party of NO!",
the party that "SHUTS DOWN THE GOVERNMENT", the party that wastes million$ of tax dollars on partisan attacks using the House Select Committee on Benghazi simply to embarrass a Democratic rival, the party that
now can't even decide who it wants as Speaker of the House, the third most powerful position in the government
of the United States of America.
But -- sadly & tragically -- I do not expect this to happen. Not with Wasserman-Schultz's anti-democratic stance
limiting Democratic Primary debates to only 6, on weekends when no one watches TV. <--This will render the
Democratic Party virtually invisible to voters, while the GOP government-haters flood prime time airwaves with
12-13 well-publicized, record-number-viewer debates, giving them a virtual monopoly on visibility to voters.
I'd LOVE to be 110% wrong about this. So please, DWS, feel free to surprise me and actually USE the potentially
powerful position you hold as Chair of the DNC to actively HELP the Democratic Party actually WIN elections...

If the DNC wasn't under the control of a bunch of conservatives we'd all be better off.

There is a very simple explanation. The Republicon Party is right where the Oligarchs want them.

To think they are incompetent is a mistake. They fully know what they are doing.
