The Monday morning broadcast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe featured the Democratic Party becoming a punching bag for bad fundraising, bad leadership, and having absolutely zero sense of direction. For a party that has high hopes for the 2018 midterms, it could end in disaster if they don’t get their intraparty squabbles in order—and neither side wants to budge. The Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren wing is committed to pushing the party to the Left, while the Obama/Clinton wing wants to prevent a Leninist takeover of the party.
The New York Times’ Bret Stephens commented that he doesn’t know what the Democratic Party stand for other than hating Trump, noting that voters see them as contemptuous of ordinary Americans and their struggles. On top of that, there is a push from the hard Left to relegate white working class voters to their fate, something that Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) rejects. These voters are not die-hard Republicans; they’re swing voters, which Boyle noted by referencing the fact that Obama won Luzerne County and Scranton twice, even John Kerry was able to win in these areas.
Former Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. hit Democrats on the lack of messaging, noting that in the 23-24 districts that Democrats think they can pick off from the GOP, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is less popular than Trump. The polling is awful. He admits that without a local message and messengers to build a campaign around, it’s very hard for Democrats to win a majority. Also, there’s the other gut punch from Third Way, which noted that if Democrats were to turnout every Clinton voter who voted for a Republican member for Congress in 2016 and have them flip their vote, it still wouldn’t be enough to win back the House.
But, I thought according liberals online tr Democratic Party is in the best shape it has ever been in and is guaranteed to win the next elections thanks to Trump?

And the worst thing is, they are going to try to drag Obama back in to "help" the DNC. That will be a disaster. White voters who are with the DNC are turning their back on them after the disasterous support of BLM, and junk like that white DNC congresswoman saying it was her job to "Shut other white people up"
The republicans are pathetic and weak as well , they are led by cowards like McConnell and Ryan. , had 8 years to come up with an alternative to Obamacare and didn't , seem completely out of touch with the issues that won trump the election like anti immigration , border security , America first trade deals , anti job outsourcing , infrastructure . Basically a party with no real identity other than Donald Trump
The only thing they have in their favor is how utterly pathetic the left and Democratic Party is . Tearing down monument ,increasing race tensions,The face of the democrat party is Antifa and blm. They are going to crush the Dems in 2018, it takes a lot to lose this badly to anyone as mediocre as republicans

Agree. But the Dems action s lead people to now see the Republicans as the lesser of two evils
The Democrat party has become almost entirely a hate whitey and America party.
Hate white males, the Constitution, the Founders, the 1st Amendment, Christianity, Fox News (except for the leftists there)....if you hate people, you belong with the Dims.
I think the Democrat party is awesome. Go Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison, and Barack Obama! I think the Dem leaders along with spokespeople for the party such as Symone Sanders and Howard Dean are great. RESIST.

Well, in all fairness we overlooked on important fact : Nancy Pelosi is a master legislator.

I can already see the Republican campaign ads featuring the nut job liberals destroying historic statues. It's only going to get worse for Democrats as they veer further left. I'm going to enjoy watching the Democrat party crash and burn, again.
