It is uproariously entertaining to see the scurryings of the innumerable host of Democratic presidential candidates in what is already more of a lottery than a quest for the nomination of a great party to the world’s greatest office. The Gadarene stampede to (and over) the edge of the abyss of all who advocate open borders, 70 percent income taxes, the green terror, socialized medicine, legalized infanticide, reparations to native and African-Americans, packing the Supreme Court, and vacation of the Electoral College, has finally elicited, in a Churchillian expression, a tiny mouse of dissent.

"The Democrats temporarily have become a hopeless party."
A pathetic party. Consider ANY dem who has the gravitas to be president. There is no one. The ones that stand out are all idiots or failed old power brokers. Their farm teams in the states have been decimated because of BO´s presidency that cost them state houses and governorships.
"they can start to rebuild"
It won´t be easy. It´s not just a matter of building a new message. When McGovern lost, the core structure of the party was still there, there were just a lot of people disenchanted with McGovern. New candidate, new message, media support still in place, the party rallied.
It´s very different now. The dem party has been in decline for decades but has been propped up by the propaganda media. The party is a conglomeration of victim groups that they promised to help but never did. Those groups were astonishingly loyal, despite dem failures.
Now, you are seeing all these groups examining the value of the dem party. Some are pragmatic, like Blacks and Hispanics that have realized that a good economy and good jobs are "helping" them far better than dem promises. Radicals are seeking Socialist solutions, though the Country is nowhere near that.
The first group is realizing that Republicans may be better for them. Socialists are often irrational but fed up with dems and may seek a third party or walk away from elections. Reconstructing a new dem party from these groups will be almost impossible.
Plus, no one trusts media, not even the radicals. After a likely disastrous 2020 election, the media will be in even worse shape.
No leadership, a seriously fractured base, ineffective media support; a rebuild of a competitive party will be VERY hard.

But once they get a nominee that person will be idolized by the media. Even with a nutcase on the ticket, we will have to be vigilant.

Additionally, #2, the cheating will be epic, given that the Democrats will be fighting like dying weasels.

It seems more than coincidental that the dims have flooded the zone with so many hard left hopefuls. We know how AOC was a manufactured entity, are we seeing a parade of puppets with an industrial level of masters pulling all those strings?
Yes, beyond happenstance and downright scary.

BTW In 2007 Rush totally dismissed Obama, saying he was unelectable.

Anyone notice the media hype behind an obscure mayor of a small city? A Midwest mayor who went to both Harvard and was a Rhodes Scholar, but went into the Navy? If Buttigieg isn´t a Soros backed ´construct´, I don´t know what is.

It will be GLORIOUS as Trumps names each one and then crushes their tiny little hopes. And the Beta Males will cry tiny little tears and wipe them with their tiny little fists as they stomp their tiny little feet!!!

Conrad opens some old wounds. Even as a fresh teenager I thought the idea of busing kids around for hours every morning to achieve racial equality in schools was one of the goofiest ideas ever acted upon. It was without a doubt the beginning of the dumbing down of the entire public school system. I had just entered the US Navy to help fight the communist "police action" in Vietnam when Jane Fonda talked the democrats into bringing about our surrender in a war that we had already won and caused the deaths of millions of innocents in South Vietnam and Cambodia. It was then that I realized that we were being led by incompetent fools. Ronald Reagon and Donald Trump have been the only exceptions since then. Today´s democrats don´t even measure up to Jimmy Carter, it´s that bad.

I don´t think 98% of these people actually think they´ll get the nomination, it´s all about the $$$. Who gets to keep the amount contributed to each of these coffers?
This is about amassing money for their own benefits. War chests or money under the mattresses.
The democrats are and have always been about the money. Yours and mine! Extort it by high taxes (to pay for PP and other entities never meant to be funded by taxpayer $$$), or voluntarily given up for pipe dreams like Fauxcohontas, Kamala Soros-Harris, Cory Booker-ed, Joe Biden-my-time, Bernie Sanders, the climate hypocrite. They´re all in it for money.
Okay, sorry. Just so sick of this whole deal. They all want to be rich like Trump, while condemning him and wanting to see his tax return because he´s rich.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! Hypocrites, all of them! Go, Mr. President, onward to 2020!!!!

I wouldn´t take an early victory lap just yet.
The democrats cheat so with that you have to win by a huge landslide.
A majority of the democrats are in it for the money and notoriety and will be tweeted away by Trump that´s real easy. The real work will come when they have their candidate and the media builds them up. Kamala Harris and Beto O´Rourke will become ´superheros´. Debates will be easy for President Trump but remember the democrat will get the answers to the questions debates are even rigged in their favor.
It´s an uphill climb all the way and we shouldn´t be comfortable with 2020 by any means.

The hard Left Socialists were denied their candidate,Bernie Sanders by the Dem Machine.
They have a whole different idea of "Resistance" than the Pelosi/Schumer wing of the Party.
I don´t believe they would be adverse to creating a 1917 Red Revolution if their wishes for a Socialist candidate are not met.

Now Tim Ryan (D of OH) has tossed his pink pussy cap in the ring. How exciting! Forget the Volkswagen full of clowns. They will need a caravan of buses to haul this clown show around.
Harris Faulkner (the only bright light on Fox - we record her for later edited viewing) had Eric Swalwell on yesterday. She really went after him on the Resistance’s failure to acknowledge that the Russia collusion investigation is OVER. He is also still playing coy about running. Talk about the “who gives a da**” department.
If I had a daughter, a guy like Swalwell wouldn’t get anywhere near our front door. He even looks like a sicko.
