You can smell it in the air. A deep sense of betrayal among Democratic voters.
An underlying realization that the Democratic party’s politburo — Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries, and their courtiers of elected official and consultant sycophants — sold voters a bill of goods: the gaslighting of the public on President Biden’s decrepitude; the false idol of the Kamala Harris “campaign of joy” as a smart last-minute stand-in; and the repeated cowering to the far left whose wokeness and moral condescension turns off most voters.
In a just world, one might expect a formal no-confidence vote on this leadership failure.

Dems feel betrayed? Which Dems - voters or Dem elites? Yes, Dem politicians betrayed America and Americans especially their supporters who were fooled into pulling the Dem lever when Obama/Biden/Pelosi....had no intention to better their lives. These pols only wanted to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else - including their voter pawns.

Forget the Democrats. What about We, the People. We were deceived, insulted, betrayed, defrauded and robbed blind. And we still don't know who or what this man really is.

These people weren't duped, they are just selfish slimeballs who wanted everything for free, wanted to do as they pleased wherever they pleased and wanted working taxpayers to pay for it all. The democrats simply recognized and catered to undesirables in their quest for the only votes they could attract.

That Europe is in the process of rejecting all of the trappings of this "era" suggests that those trappings were part of a coordinated plan. This was not happenstance, moved along by some malign version of Adam Smith's "invisible hand" of unconscious decisions and unprompted cultural shifts. This was pursued purposefully.

This paper, written by a party insider, has to leave a mark on the party now and into the future. Apparently Biden has unknowingly played the role of the ventriloquist’s dummy. They picked the perfect dupe. I wonder if he knows. Just feed him ice cream and tell him he’s so smart and he will go along with anything.

A Dem operative, trying to salvage his career from the ashes.

The RNC and every elected Republican needs to regularly remind voters, particularly when they're being challenged by the very media folks, who were willing accomplices in the deceit, of how they were lied to and gaslighted for nearly 10 years so why believe what they say now?
Expose the elected officials who abused their office by pushing lies and misinformation too. Get it all on the official record.
Particularly pertaining to the J5 committee and the Russia dossier schemes.

Epstein is the ultimate demonrat insider. For him to publish an article like this one is a monumental moment in the party's history. Even so - - he still tosses a rose bouquet towards Little 0bie - - by praising political and oratorical skills - - which never existed.
The New Left radicalism of the 1960s caused a 20-year period in the political wilderness for the demonrat party. Let's hope that the racist America-hating of the Litlle 0bie era will cause another 20-year ostracization. No - - let's double it - - make it 40 years!

"the political and cultural offspring of his White House that even he himself was often unable to contain, has helped lead the party to a truly dark and defeated corner"
Do you read this as I do, that BO isn't to blame, he just lost control over events? His "offspring" are to fault.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
BO is the leader and generally things went just as wanted them too. The problem for BO is hubris and overreach. That, and Trump, the non politician and patriot that REFUSED to lay down and surrender.
Trump forced BO to ramp up his efforts beyond the ability to keep them stealthy or contained. Trump determination forced BO to use illegal tools and push them past their breaking point. As things ramped up, the pillars of BO's control began to crack. First, the propaganda media was pushed to the point of being blatantly biased and declaring it WAS biased, because Trump. Their lies became blatantly obvious and their credibility began to vanish. They lost the power to persuade and have become useless. Next, Trump turned the SCOTUS solidly Conservative and made good headway in the federal courts as well. Decisions undermining the Left began to emerge. Lawfare from the Left began to fall apart. Groundwork has been laid that points a knife at the Left's heart. The Deep State is about to fall. Next, Trump fought a brilliant campaign and soundly defeated the dems. The Congress is in control of the Republicans. Finally, with all the preceding results, Trump is ready and enabled to disassemble the Deep State, which has given critical support to the media and enabled corruption of the government, especially the DOJ and FBI. That is about to be completely over. With luck, there will be some payback for what has gone on but the critical point is almost certain, the Deep State is toast.
And with all that, so is BO's reach and control. Maybe over time we will discover how big a criminal and traitor BO has been. But we can settle for the reality that everything has been ripped out of his bloody hands.
Going forward, it's hard to see how the hapless dems can rally to rebuild power unless we are REALLY stupid. Klieg lights need to be shined on what they have done and the cost of it to the Country and its People. We should consider dems as rattlesnakes, venomous and dangerous and not something we want anywhere near us.

FTA :"Barack Obama was an immensely talented and often inspiring historic figure with his campaign of hope and change." Never fooled me. Winston Churchill said of his successor Clement Atlee that he is a modest man with a lot to be modest about. On a similar vein one can say that Barack 0bama is an arrogant man with absolutely nothing to be arrogant about.

Ditto #12. Epstein is full of it.
Bathhouse was a 100% media creation, propped up by brain-dead young voters, clueless single and wine-soaked cat women, and white liberals who thought that voting for the "clean, articulate" black candidate who didn't look or sound like Al Sharpton would prove that they weren't racists. The most overrated intellect in American political history.

I hope Trump understands the fault of expanding the authoritarian movement of the government. Specifically, what are RFK's aspirations in the food industry? If it is exposing some problems in our food supply fine but I don't need him ruling that a certain food has too much sugar or salt, as an example, and then banning this product. I can do that fine without the government.

Excuse me but in what world has 0bama EVER been either talented or inspiring as Mr. Epstein describes him? Talk about smearing lipstick on a pig.

The writer would give me a much stronger impression of honesty had they written this column 4 years ago.
To go along with the lies of the Evil Ones until HeelZup was defeated has the odor of a 'Rat who is abandoning the sinking ship and hoping to get a seat on the new operation.

The "Obama Era" was just repackaged progressive ideas. It's not gone, it will just be rebranded and rolled out again.

Dem voters are what brought us this lying muslim, kenyan communist out of his community organizing activities in a Chicago neighborhood and stuck the country with a silver-tongued devil who hated working white people and gave untold bundles of our money to the parasites in our midst and to an islamic country that wants to kill us in the worst way. He also screwed up an almost-functioning healthcare system to the point where it works for nobody. I could write a novel on his destruction of America. Obama was a legend in his own mind. Screw the democrats.

The days of Barack HUSSEIN Obama are numbered...he won't have access to the White House midget in chief because he will be gone to Delaware....he has stolen his last taxpayers dollars....now he can go and live off the fat of the land and determine his future....his whole story of corruption will take time to uncover...but I'm thinking the Chicago community he stole from will help in ferreting out the hidden information...they are not happy with him....

So now that the dark secrets of the "Obama-Era" are being exposed, maybe it's time to unravel the riddle of Obama himself - and tell the American people about the fraud that has been foisted on them.

I hope and pray you’re right, #11, but we’d better be ready for a down-and-dirty fight— the Dems will fight tooth-and-nail to keep their power,
