Trump Has ‘broken The Democratic Party’

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Sunday that President Trump has “broken the Democratic Party,” adding that it has become “leaderless” and party members are “fighting among themselves.”

“It is a huge mess,” McCarthy said Sunday of the present state of the Democratic Party in a conversation with radio host John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable.” “It wasn’t just that President Trump won the election. He has now broken the Democratic Party,” he said.

“If you think about it, they are leaderless. There’s no message, and their polling continues to drop. They are now fighting among themselves,” he continued.

McCarthy added that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) are displaying “weak leadership.”

The former Speaker went on to say that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who recently addressed a joint rally in Las Vegas, are currently leading the party.

“The real leaders of the Democratic Party right now are AOC and Bernie Sanders. Those are the two that are getting the crowds,” he said.

In response to a question about Schumer supporting the stopgap bill that averted a government shutdown earlier this month, McCarthy said, “But his own party attacked him for it.”

Personally, I think both the democratic and republican parties are fucked up.

People always ask, why do politicians do this or that? And I've been saying the same thing for 25 years: Follow the cash.

It was true in Ancient Rome, in the middle ages when The Church controlled everything, and it's the same now. It's ALL about the money. Only the money. Pay attention to which politicians own stock in which companies, and which laws they vote for that has an effect on the cash.

Well medicated for your protection. ॐ ♡

It isn't just politicians, it's everyone.


Quote Nowie

You can always trust people to do what is in their interests.


People are greedy, greed is a fundamental flaw in every person.

We all want the attractive spouse, we all want the big house on the hill, we all want a better car than everyone we know, we all want more money than everyone else, we all want more newer and better stuff than everyone else, we all want to be more popular and respected by everyone else.

The underlying cause is "mate selection" and reproductive access in both men and women.

Everyone wants to be the king or queen, and it is the scarcity of having someone or something that everyone else wants.

While I'll disagree until I'm blue in the face with anyone who subscribes to Freud's theories in that I know the brain is supraconscious as opposed to subconscious. Everyone has normalcy bias and stroking someone's ego always makes them want to buy something from you.

One only has to look at Elon Musk and Bill Gates's party days at Microsoft to see that being seen as rare or important just ends up going to one's head.

I wish Ms Leelz was still around, as a psychologist she could weigh in more.
