Well gee, it’s been 166 days, over half a year, since Democrats got a wake up call from our country’s antiquated election process. You would think that would be enough time to get our party squared away and headed toward election success. But the people who made our party irrelevant decided that they should remain in power because Democratic success with another regime would probably indicate that they were wrong and that would make them look bad. Or perhaps they are more concerned about the niagara of money that flows through the DNC. Without their leadership it could change its course.
So, after six months, the issue that Nancy and Chuck are most concerned about is Jeff Sessions lying to Congress! Boy, that’s a real bread and butter issue! I am sure that calling for Sessions’ resignation is going to resonate with folks in the heartland and bring plenty of them over to our side. Did you know that Sessions may have lied about Russia? Yeah, and that’s super bad because the Democratic establishment feels that Russia is one of the reasons Democrats lost in 2016. (They also feel that Bernie and Obama appointee, Comey are the other two reasons.)
In other news, ConservaDems took one on the chin this week with the release of Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign. Some of my takeaways:
- Hillary (just like the Democratic Party) never figured out why she was running for office.
- She blamed her staff for her 2008 primary defeat.
- She reduced staff in battleground states to cut costs.
- People on her staff were afraid to bring her bad news.
The Unity Tour featuring Tom Perez and Bernie Sanders got off to a rocky start. They appeared on MSNBC together and Perez, who has the charisma of a rotten apple, looked like someone was twisting his testicles while he was sitting next to Bernie. (Maybe Chuck was keeping his hands in shape for the next meeting with Mitch McConnell?)
Perez was booed at the kickoff rally in Maine. After that, he decided to broaden his appeal by using a lot of cuss words when he addressed the crowd. Perez has never been in an election and he is now in charge of getting Democrats on the winning side of elections.
Then they went to Omaha where Bernie stumped for mayoral candidate, Heat Mello. Oooops, Heat has stated that he opposes abortion. Even though Bernie has always been clear about his support of a woman’s right to choose and has a 100% voting record in favor of a woman’s right to choose, Naral condemned him for this endorsement. If Democrats are pro woman’s right to choose, why do they allow candidates to run for office as a Democrat if they are opposed to us on this important issue? I must be missing something.
