Are Dems ready to commit suicide and choose Ellison as chair?

Are Dems ready to commit suicide and choose Ellison as chair?
By Thomas Lifson

Dems are forming a circular firing squad.

McClatchy:

    Frustrated by the party's performance on Capitol Hill and emboldened by the mass protests against President Donald Trump, a coalition of progressive groups say they are open to supporting primary challengers next year against Democratic members of the House and Senate – even if many inside the party believe that intra-party races might ultimately only help the Republican Party gain more power.

    The organizations, many run by former members of Bernie Sanders' insurgent presidential campaign, say they haven't drafted a list of targets just yet. But they vow to recruit, fund and support intra-party challengers if Democratic lawmakers don't start doing more to oppose the new president and his congressional Republican allies.

"When the enemy seems intent on suicide render all possible aid"

Sun Tzu, The Art of War
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Seems like every few election cycles we hear the talking heads pose the question, "Is the Republican party dead?"

Now that the Democratic party has been replaced by the National Socialist Brotherhood For Radical Anarchy you'd think they'd have the common decency to at least run an obituary.

I watched the entire debate between those candidates and Ellison is not a strong speaker and he has English grammar problems.  He and Perez are bosom buddies and were standing next to each other with one supporting the other.  The moderator asked about a report they had lunch together and Ellison said they had lunch and came to the conclusion whichever of them won, the other would support. At that point, they moved together and almost hugged.

I determined the best candidate was South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison.  From his explaining his experience, what he has done and his explanation about gathering money for the party, he would get that party solvent and get more Democrat voters, plus he was a strong speaker with a good vocabulary.  That makes a difference as the chairman moves around the country making speeches to gather money.

The main job of any national party chairman (and state chairman) is gathering money.  Without money, the national party and it's state subsidiary parties, don't have a chance.   

It appears it will likely be Ellison or Perez.  This will be decided by their national committee tomorrow morning, Saturday.   If they don't choose Jamie Harrison, they are making a big mistake.

Michael Moore has surfaced (thar he blows!) in a huffpo article @Sanguine posted yesterday. In the article he says
Quote
You must do two things:

Let the DNC know that THIS SATURDAY, February 25th, the Democratic National Committee MUST elect reform and progressive candidate, Congressman Keith Ellison, as the new DNC chair. Keith is a former community organizer, the first Muslim elected to Congress, and a key backer of Bernie Sanders. He not only has Bernie’s support ―and mine―but he’s also backed by Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Gloria Steinem, John Lewis and many others. Sign his petition of support at www.keithfordnc.org/howyoucanhelp. Let the DNC know how you feel.

Well, I reckon we're going to find out how much influence Moore and Huffpo have over the communist/islamic bloc.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers, nor the hazards they present.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He seems to be a good successor to Debbie WassermanSchultz.

It wouldn't be the DNC  without an anti-Israel theme.  With Ellison at the helm they will not even have to hide it

Why in Gods name would you care if the Rats pick a prudent DNC head? For crying out loud they are a national disgrace and need to be fully destroyed.

@Frank Cannon

I watched it to determine what would be the best for the Democrat Party, IF I WAS ONE OF THEM.  I know what it takes for a party to be successful since I worked for a state party and knew the "insides" of the party to be successful.  It will be interesting to see if they choose the best candidate or choose a candidate due to their "emotional" mental state.  I didn't know Ellison was a Muslim.  They will likely choose him as that would be the emotional choice.

Well since you are an expert in party politics you should know that the best thing for the Rat party is to put it in a sack and drown it in a pond.

Many a mask has been ripped off around here since the election. I find it quite interesting to watch. 

Once again proving the fact that a great many who lay claim to the title "conservative" are really anything but!

Ooooh, so @Victoria33 is not "conservative" because gasp!!!! she tuned in to a debate among Democrats and offered an interesting analysis on same?

Hint: To be "conservative" doesn't mean that one must stay within the echo chamber.  In fact, it demands just the opposite.

I don't recall mentioning any names at all so you are once again assigning to me something never said by me.

For me, the word "conservative" is about one thing and one thing only.  Returning to a CONSTITUTIONAL government! Anything or anyone who stands in the way of that result is not conservative IMHO!

Friend, my husband was a county chairman in a Democrat county and we turned that county into a Republican county.  We did it by knowing what the county Democrats were doing and using election law to sink them.  Always know what the opposition is doing and that is why I watched that debate.

Fair number of supposedly intelligent people on here don't get that. "Why are you posting from this place?" "Why promote XYZ?" "isn't this supposed to be a Conservative site?"

@EC

Thanks, EC.  That Democrat National Chairman debate was on CNN, and, by golly, I watched it.  If it had been on MSNBC, I would still have watched it.  Watching a TV news organization does not mean one watches that one all the time, or some of the time, or at all unless there is something interesting going to be on that station.  That appears to be over the head of some people.
