35. Actually it's just a DC insider spat between various Think Tanks, all vying for control of our party

The recent shift by Hillary to appear more progressive would definitely bother these morons from the Third Way. They HATE the 'left', they despise Elizabeth Warren and attempted to take her down in an Op Ed in the WSJ a few months ago. The backlash they got was so intense, they haven't been heard from since on the subject, at least publicly.

That these idiots think they are appointed to the role of RUNNING this country to the point where they felt they had the right to 'warn' Elizabeth Warren about 'all this populism' shows how deeply they despise our Democratic system and how they believe THEY know better than anyone else.

They have been WRONG about just everything, see their garbage about Dean. We lost didn't we, without Dean, brillian strategy morons.

Wrong about who should run for Congress, see the last two Mid Terms, they LOST us the House and Senate.

They remind me of the most obnoxious, ignorant, RICH, kids in school who in their own minds believe they are above everyone else.

The exposure of the Third Way over the past few years, explained EVERYTHING about what had gone so wrong in our party.

Re Hillary, all they were doing was trying to 'advise' their chosen candidate that moving to the Left, as she has been trying to do even if she doesn't mean it, that she should NOT.

So today we learn she comes out strongly for the Death Penalty. So I guess she did as they told her.

THIS is the problem with our party. They belong in the other party, not this one. And the sooner we build a political revolution big enough to overcome these Think Tanks and infiltrators into our party the better for this country.
