Cnn and the Democratic party have some really great minds and really moving the democratic in the right direction. Former communist Van Jones said that the days of Clinton and a moderate Democratic Party are over. I love to know who he considers the "the base" of the party.
The democrats now have the fewest number of state legislatures in their entire history and Republicans will enter the White House with both legislative branches in their control and their pick of a Supreme Court justice and the republicans now have the most state-elected lawmakers in office in100 years and certain democrats want to double down on the losing ideas and move further left?
“You have to understand, I think that the Clinton days are over. This idea that we’re going to be this moderate party that’s going to move in this moderate direction, that’s going to throw blacks under the bus for criminal justice reform or for prison expansion is over. He added that Kamala Harris, a California Democrat who was just elected to the US Senate, is "unreal."
"She's going to be out there defending those DREAMer kids because they're a big part of her constituency," he said. "But she's got African-American roots. She's got Asian roots. She's female. She's tough. She's smart. She's going to become a big deal."
"You’re going to be judged based on your authentic commitment to the actual base of this party."
Jones, who was formally a part of President Barack Obama’s administration, went on to explain that he believes the politics of Sens. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Sen.-elect Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn) — which can be characterized as extremely progressive and socialistic — is the future of the Democratic Party.
Van Jones is incorrect. The future of the Democratic Party lies in center left candidates. Warren and Ellison are too far left. Kamala Harris is an unappealing personality.

Which means, of course, that they have no future to speak of.
I'm unsure if the above are the best candidates for the next election, but who ever is the candidate, they should have at least some charisma, and be some what clean.
With the Republicans having both legislative branches in their control and the most state-elected lawmakers in office in 100 years, if anything goes wrong it will be much harder to blame Democrats, and easier to blame the Republicans.
Silly, Democrats don't need to be clean because they have an admiring press who will be loathe to find anything wrong with their pasts (not sure that can be plural, but you know what I mean).
The future of the Democratic Party is Adam Schiff, Al Franken, Sally Yates, maybe Kamala Harris, although she's still very new.
Nice clown car, let's hope you're right for once.
