Now she wants to be a leader of the so-called resistance? Yawn.

And, oh by the way, the Democrats’ defeat in November continues one of the most gruesome political slaughters any American political party has ever experienced. Specifically, since 2008, Democrats have lost 62 House seats, nine Senate seats, 12 governorships and 959 state legislative seats. An autopsy of the Democrats’ performance through the Obama years reveals the deep problems that the left has with white voters. Relative to the 2012 election, Slate notes that Clinton lost nearly 1 million white votes in the Rust Belt states of Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And per a Politico report, Clinton lost rural America by a 3-to-1 margin in 2016. But Democrats don’t want to hear it. Rather than ask how they can win back the voters they’ve lost, the left seems to be saying good riddance to white, working-class Americans.

Meanwhile, the most popular “Democrat” in the United States is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a socialist outsider who isn’t even a true Democrat. He doesn’t embrace the Democratic Party as the vehicle for his political “movement” but has nevertheless been welcomed by the intransigent new-left as its leader. And for members of the Democratic establishment, latching onto Sanders is their only hope for maintaining some semblance of party unity — even if their change agent isn’t a committed Democrat.

While Republicans stagger around legislatively and fitfully build an administration, the Democrats are stuck carping and pursuing conspiracies of their own. Even though we are six months out from the election and no evidence suggests collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, the left is still hopelessly looking for a silver email to strike and bring down this president. Their pursuit of a smoking gun is simply dishonest and distracting.
