Per Reich, former Clinton sec of labor.

What he is saying... dems are losing these people to Trump. He is saying the far left has pushed them to that point.

The thing that worries me most of all, if you look at the problems inside the Democratic Party, they have a lot to do with the same sort of populist uprising we’re seeing across the country, including the Donald Trump campaign.”

When you are consumed with virtue- signaling and hating a larger and larger percentage of your fellow Americans every day, it makes it pretty hard to build anything . How can you be about meltdowns and angry diatribes and expect "normals" to do anything but run away from you.

Real news is that the republicans have picked up 1100 seats nationwide since 2008. The control the federal government , the legislative branch, the executive branch and are likely to build a 30 year firewall on the scotus. Is that real enough for you?

Couldn't you say the Republicans were in worse shape in 2008? The Democrats had a large majority in the senate (57-41, really 58-41 because one of the independents was Bernie Sanders), had retained control of the House and had won the presidency with Obama being elected. Things were looking very bleak but the Republicans were able to win back the house two years later and now control the presidency and both house of Congress.

You mean, the idiot who blamed 1) the Berkeley anarchy on Milo, and 2) a Muslim refugee riot in Sweden on Trump....is now saying the left-wing loons have gone too far?
I only wish I was half as rich as this midget's comment on this.

No you couldn't. Because the Republican Party was still strong on the state level ( where they successfully gerrymandered dozens of districts in their favor) and they controlled the scotus. The dems are infinitely weaker. And ten senate seats held by dems in states run by trump are up for grabs in less than two years.

I don't disagree, but this kind of thing is pretty sensationalist.
Literally during election day before it looked like Trump was going to win people were saying that stuff about the Republican party. A lot can change in a short amount of time.
Maybe the Democratic party gets redpilled at some point and some moderates take over in the next four years? Who knows? It'd be great for the nation if that kind of thing happened IMO.

The problem is that the dems have changed the face. They have lost states like PA. They can not win with out THOSE

Democrats have become the party of blacks, illegal immigrants, gays, and blue haired feminists.
Normal Americans used to be found in both parties, but no more.
Average working class joes are abandoning the Democrat freak show at a record pace.

Democrats don't like to talk about how they lost their so-called blue firewall and consequently the presidency.
Democrats in those blue states voted in sufficient numbers for Trump to elect him president.

The autopsy for the DCCC is being conducted by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, a former senior advisor to Bill Clinton for whom both Clintons have campaigned. Maloney, a true Clinton partisan, is doubling down on the same strategies that failed Hillary Clinton and Democrats in 2016. Leaked DCCC memos revealed the Democratic Party was referring to Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee before the primaries even began, and the DCCC strategized to run candidates in line with the Clinton campaign, which included giving up on rural areas that Barack Obama won in 2008 and 2012.
“The question neither Maloney nor Luján will answer is whether they should recruit moderate to conservative candidates in rural districts or just abandon them altogether,” reported The Washington Post in an article titled, “Should House Democrats write off rural congressional districts?” This piece, and the DCCC strategies it outlines, embodies what is wrong with the Democratic Party: Their elitist arrogance is why Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election and why the Democratic Party is in the position it is in now.
To make matters worse, Democrats’ perceived solution to this disconnect with rural working and middle class areas is to offer moderate or conservative candidates. The Washington Post was one of several mainstream media outlets that propagated the narrative during the Democratic primaries that Bernie Sanders only did well in rural areas—citing several rural states where Sanders won by huge margins against Clinton—in order to whitewash his campaign. However, now the DCCC and the Post have come to the consensus that a lack of moderate to conservative Democratic candidates in these areas is the problem.
In reality, the Democratic Party runs candidates who aren’t a real choice between parties, and, therefore, voters opt for the actual Republican rather than the Republican-lite offered by Democrats. Bernie Sanders and populism aren’t mentioned at all by DCCC chair Ben Ray Lujan or Rep. Maloney as possible solutions to the problems they are facing with engaging voters across the country. Democratic elites would rather give up parts of the United States than concede political power to progressive populists.
The Democratic Party is focused on serving corporate and wealthy donors rather than representing working, middle class and low income Americans. Some of these communities used to be Democratic Party strongholds, but voters never saw results.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer falsely claimed in July 2016, “for every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” Those predicted pickups for Democrats never happened, but, nevertheless, the Democratic Party stubbornly sticks to this flawed strategy. If the Democratic Party concedes rural America to the Republican Party completely, Democrats will risk worsening their losses and continuing to drive their party into the ground.

Hey pimp, who do you predict will run in eight years when Trump is done?
Ivanka?

Because they have no rational message, are out of touch and spend more time talking about Russia than anything else.
