Democrats Double Down on Hate

The Democratic Party should listen to people like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Democratic Senator Jim Webb, both powerful, intelligent men — who think the Party is off course, is behaving “disdainfully” of the base, is “elitist”, and “demographically misaligned when it comes to policy issues – with the common working men and women of the country.”

They are right of course.

But they aren’t saying what they are really feeling — which would be something like this if they were candid;

“I hate that Donald Trump as much as you do, but if all we talk about as a Party — is hate — we’re going to lose more elections.”

The Democrats, led into this suicide charge by Pelosi and Schumer, have badly miscalculated. They could have formed a centrist majority with any number of the non Freedom Caucus affiliated Republicans — issue by issue — and controlled Trump’s legislative agenda for 4 years.

Stupidly, they have taken this scorch and burn path instead, which will probably and/or already is — costing them dearly on policy reversals, mid-term planning and execution, overall caucus strength – and most importantly, fund raising.

Ouch.

If I were a paid Democratic strategist, I would fire myself. And then return that call to the FBI.
