Is February 28, 2017, 'The Night the Democratic Party Died'?
2017-03-01
The Democratic Party members watching that speech looked like a party of the living dead. They didn't know how to react. They didn't know if they were Americans. They didn't know who they were.

When the speech was over -- after there was no longer a dry eye in the house from the introduction of the widow of the Navy SEAL -- they left the room faster than fans of the losing team after the Super Bowl, only in this case they left so stunned you had to wonder if they would ever win the game again or even compete.

The Democrats -- the silly ladies dressed in white and all the others -- bet the house that Trump would make a fool of himself and Donald cut the legs out from under them. And when you bet the house and lose, you go home bankrupt. And without a home to go to.

We are in a new era. I'm 95% excited but 5% blue about what is happening -- not because I have even an iota of regret about leaving liberalism, especially now. But because, as Trump himself said the other day, we need a two-party system and I strongly suspect, even with the unlimited pockets of George Soros, the Democratic Party, at least as we know it, is dying. All those crazy protests at town halls and the mass demonstrations of women racing around in vagina hats are the death throes of a movement with nothing to say.

#10  The question is whether that forty percent is truly Independent, or voters wandering through the political wilderness?

#9  Independents are 40%+ of the voters, according to Gallup. I think that we better start getting beyond dinosaur ideology and start thinking for ourselves. Political parties have evolved to protect their turf and the trough.

#8  And if you're dead set on a two party system let McShame and Graham start up a new party with the Deep State wing of the Republican party

You're more likely to see a party composed of GOP(e) politicians like the Bush clan, the Common Sense Commercial Conservatives as epitomized by Glenn Beck and the folks at National Review, 'moderate' Republicans who are long-time refugees from the Democratic Party, and those few Democrats who still have their political sanity.

In short, potentially centrist, likely opportunistic, commercially political, and wholly Establishment.

#5  Never underestimate your enemy. Until you drive that stake through their heart they're still alive and capable of doing great harm. And if you're dead set on a two party system let McShame and Graham start up a new party with the Deep State wing of the Republican party.
