Scott Jennings Skewers the Democrats for Exactly Why They Are Hemorrhaging Voters
By Nick Arama  | 2:24 PM on July 05, 2025

 
The reaction of the Democrats to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani says something about how lost they are as a party. When you're embracing someone who has used the radical language he has, you may have a problem.
 

As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported, Democratic strategist Joel Payne tried to square that circle during a panel discussion on "CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip" on Thursday:

"Democrats actually should be happy that we have folks, again, who have a wide range of appeal that are within our tent," Payne claimed. "And you're going to need Zohran Mamdanis and people who are moved by Zohran Mamdani as a part of a bigger Democratic coalition."

"So, yes, he might not use the language, he might not actually line up with the agenda of every other Democrat across the country, but that's okay. I mean, you, big tent parties need to have room for people who do not actually align pure--purely with every single thing that the master party says," he continued, as he went after Jennings for chuckling about such a point.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I don't buy this.

I'll go out on the limb and proffer that in the next presidential election if someone as radical as Zohran Mamdani is on the ballot (yes, I realize he's not "Constitutionally qualified", but what about that other muslim who was elected to two terms not so long ago?), he would STILL garner 35-40% of the "democratic" vote by simply having the (D) next to his name. And that's just out of the starting gate.

It's baked into 'em.
And that's not changing.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.
