Democrats Living but Not Learning

The growing chatter among Dems about her as a potential 2020 candidate is yet another illustration of the party’s lack of seriousness. 

 

At a time when it should be downplaying its image as an out-of-touch bi-coastal party, it deepens that image by pushing one more San Francisco radical forward. 

 

Who knows, maybe Harris can run with Pelosi.

 

According to press reports, Harris wowed supporters of Hillary’s at a recent fundraiser in the Hamptons. 

 

What a compelling look for a defeated party — a San Francisco kook feted by routed East Coast plutocrats impressed by her stern questioning of General Mattis over the plight of transgender soldiers. That should work well in the Rust Belt and the South.

 

Even Mark Penn, Hillary’s former strategist, is wincing at the party’s direction. He recently wrote that the party can’t recover if it stays on this far-left course. He proposes that the party adopt a more measured, less intolerant liberalism. But his plea is falling on deaf ears. 

 

The party is in no mood for any Sister Souljah moments. It remains the party of MoveOn.org, evident in the gushing over Harris for having raised money for it off her classless antics against Sessions and company.
