Democratic Party brand

It should always be news, even if it's the same story every single day-- which it basically is: Trump is a goddam congenital liar. He lies about everything... small pretty things and important business of the country. He's disgusting and for those of us who never watched his wretched TV game show, we're far less happy by having his putrid visage on our TVs every night. I doubt there has ever been a White House occupant so hated as Trump.

"Conservative Democrats" are careerist politicians, not actual grassroots votersI guess that depends on how you define it. Who is the Democratic Party?

Like many of us, author and Democratic activist Mike Lux has been dong a lot of thinking about the fact that one of the primary reasons Democrats keep losing elections is that the party has lost its core identity.

Recently, DC elections pundit Dave Wasserman aimed a harsh barb at DC Democrats: "If more than 50% of your '16 voters lived in just 9 states & 94 of America's 3,141 counties... you're probably not a healthy national party." Fact is, neither party is healthy. I don't care about the other party but is the Democratic Party salvageable?

When I was a kid my father owned a small clothing store in Bed-Stuy, which was part of the Assembly district Shirley Chisholm represented. I used to work there frequently.

You may well have woken up yesterday to Señor Trumpanzee's tweet (below), taking-- or at least sharing-- the "credit" with congressional Republicans obsessed with destroying the consumer protections the Democrats made some terminative steps towards implementing-- despite obstruction from the corrupt Blue Dogs and even more corrupt New Dems from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party-- while they were in power.
