democrat tea party?

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...423-story.html

from what i'm reading about this. I don't think this will work. the feel isn't quite the same as the tea party. its nastier.

I think this will divide the democratic party rather than unite.

I think this will break this unity they've built up over the years. the division have been papered over with promises.

what do you think.

The Dems have always been more of a lose confederation of groups that have some similar--not even common--interests.

The Reps I still think have fewer fundamental fissures.

Lookee at this... the lib-retarded New York Times is trying to justify the left being hateful and venomous by blaming the Tea Party!

what's wrong with Old T's statement? its essentially correct.

Democrats always stick together. ALWAYS! If they get a crooked politician, they still support them to the end. No matter what... Their party leaders go so far left that they become communist/islamos and the democrats say nothing. Being a democrat is a religion of sheep.

The difference between the Tea Party and this "new" Democrat Alliance" is the Tea Party worked within it's own Primary System to fudementally change the direction that the Republicans were taking. Rather than continually sending the same Candidates back to Washington to carry on "business as usual", they presented viable Candidates to challenge them in the Primaries, and beat them.

This "Alliance" of Socialist/Progressive/Liberal/Democrats are just doubling down on the same shit that has cost them the Presidency, the Senate, the House, the Majority of State Leislatures, and the majority of State Governors.

Continue letting Nancy Peloci get on TV. Let the Hollywood Crowd keep giving the sanctimonious little speeches. Let the "Fake News" continue being soooooo concerned as they look into their cameras and flood the airways with 95 percent negative coverage of anything conservative, and especially anything Trump.

Have Katy Perry, Madonna, Beyonce', JayZ, and the Boss give a few more "Concerts".

More Counties turn Red.

it is possible we are facing a generational divide.

@4:45 Trump tells CBS host John Dickerson he calls his show "Deface the Nation" LMAO!

But what does this mean over the long term?

Numbers, I think. Right now, there are a whole lot of millennials, since the birth rate began rising again in the early 80s. But as this group passes slowly through the python, they'll become middle-agers and will probably be a whole lot less liberal.

That happened with us baby boomers, who as a whole were very liberal when we were students. Something of a dose of reality has a way of setting in when one gets out into the "real world," however.
