    If I were the Democrat leadership ...

    I would concentrate all my firepower on retaining the House.
    I'd realize there's absolutely zero chance of taking the White House
    with either of the two candidates. One is an avowed Communist,
    and the other is suffering from early Dementia.
    The Senate is a distant maybe, but as democrats presently hold the
    House, deploy everything to hold it. That will at least allow a no vote
    on anything and everything Trump tries to accomplish.

    But that would leave them right where they are now -- with no policy or programs. Their whole party platform would be nothing but "No."

        Sooner or later it would catch up with them. People would realize they have done nothing and have nothing to offer.

        Remember, the goal of a political party is to take control of the government. You can hardly claim to have control if you just drift.

          Democratic leadership has one thing going for it and that is nothing to offer. Will Rogers was right in his party assessment.

              Sooner or later ? Those with a functioning brain know that already.
              Those without don't and never will.

                For money (they all get rich -- even the self-proclaimed socialist) and for power.

                    If given the choice of democratic leadership or cancer I would take cancer. @ least the treatment would not be as bad as a Bernie/Biden administration.

                          And cancer would kill only the patient -- not the whole country.

                            I know, I know...Pretty coincidental.

                              That's one helluva choice.
                              I'd take Bernie, but I'd move to Alaska with my Hawken and Bowie Knife
