It is no surprise that New York Post columnist and news commentator, Miranda Devine, has written an excellent commentary. But her latest, titled “The country deserves better than the Dems ‘cracked out clown show,’ ‘elite’ media ignoring Gabbard’s bombshell”, is especially worth reading.
Here is how it starts:
America deserves better than the degenerate propaganda machine that passes for “elite” journalism. We deserve better than the evil “cracked out clown show” the Democratic Party has become.
The New York Times and The Washington Post all but ignored DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s bombshell press conference Wednesday, at which she announced that she had sent criminal referrals to the DOJ and FBI implicating former President Barack Obama and his national security team in the “seditious conspiracy” of the Russia collusion hoax.
No wonder the best of the Democrats have switched to the Trump GOP. Authentic, principled leaders who might once have rescued Democrats from the abyss, like Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy Jr., now serve in the Trump cabinet, and countless unnamed voters have switched allegiance. Only the very wealthy protected class and the controlled underclass remain with a smattering of grifters and the irredeemably Trump-deranged, but that doesn’t mean the party isn’t dangerous.
As time goes on, and more evidence is painstakingly chipped out of hiding, we see just how rotten are the apex Democrats: Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
No wonder their party is a shambles: “Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided,” wrote veteran Democratic strategist James Carville in the Times this week, warning of an impending “civil war” between whatever is left of the moderate rump and the parasitical radical faction that is sucking the party dry.
The commentary goes on to detail chapter and verse of just how damning the evidence released by Tulsi Gabbard is.
I think Ms. Devine has overstated the number of former Democrats who have switched allegiance in recent years (though I certainly agree that this is how voting patterns are trending). But, that aside, her points about the rot at the top of the party and the beyond-disgraceful journalistic malfeasance by much of our mainstream media (the Times and the Post are just a sampling) are dead-on correct.
I urge you to read the entire piece (here is the link again). And think about the fact (it’s a fact to me) that the Democrat Party is self-immolating right in front of our eyes.
Our country benefits by having two strong parties with viable alternative policies that voters can choose from. We need the Democrat Party to regain its status as one of them. But, as things are now going, at least in the short term, I see that prospect being less and less likely.
Too bad for Democrats. And too bad for us.
