AOC, Walz, Wu these nuts are the future of the Democrats?!

This was the week I became convinced that Don Lemon is an undercover MAGA operative.The former CNN presenter was on Bill Maher’s podcast the other day and was asked about the dire outlook for the Democratic Party.

Which way should it go?“People love AOC” Lemon ventured.“People love Jasmine Crockett.

People love Eric Swalwell and the like.I think the Democratic Party should put people out there who the people want — who they’re asking for.”Maher begged to differ.

People do not want these people, he pointed out.But Lemon continued to insist otherwise.Personally I suspect the only person who ever even pretended to love Eric Swalwell was Chinese spy Fang Fang, who Rep.

Swalwell was banging the other year.But that’s a detail.As I say, the only explanation for Lemon’s statement (other than it being a characteristic brain-fart) is that Lemon is secretly working to keep the MAGA movement in power for the foreseeable future.Because it is only if the Democrats swing to the hard left that they can make sure the Republicans continue in power unchallenged.Desperate times may call for desperate thinking.

But these are certainly desperate times for the Democrats.Just consider how bad the situation is for the party.First, it is utterly leaderless.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to hold the party together, but his decision to allow a vote on the Republicans’ government funding bill has led to a fall out among the party’s gerontocracy.Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, this week jabbed at Schumer for giving away to the Republicans “for nothing” in exchange.So dire has been the backlash against Schumer (a mere stripling of 74) that he has canceled his upcoming book tour.

“Security concerns” have been offered as the reason.But that isn’t security concerns from Republican rivals — but rather from disgruntled members of his own party.Second, there is the dire bench that the Democrats have coming up.One-time golden-boy Gavin News...
