Let's first go a bit bottom line.
A New York Times/Ipsos poll recently found that a record number of voters view the Democrat Party as prioritizing issues that are far from priorities in the lives of a strong majority of the American people.
The party's misguided priorities were no doubt reinforced this past weekend with the Democrat National Committee's (DNC) wildly out-of-touch selection of the chair and vice chair of the Democratic Party — and then some.
In other words, DNC leadership doubled down on the very issues identified by the Times/Ipsos poll as leaving voters disassociated from the party of Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer. The party will likely continue to do so — at least until it's too late. And that would prove to be a very good thing for the American people.
The Times said in an article published on Sunday:
Many Americans Say the Democratic Party Does Not Share Their Priorities
Many Americans say they do not believe the Democratic Party is focused on the economic issues that matter most to them and is instead placing too much emphasis on social issues that they consider less urgent.
Asked to identify the Democratic Party’s most important priorities, Americans most often listed abortion, L.G.B.T.Q. rights and climate change, according to a poll from The New York Times and Ipsos conducted from Jan. 2 to 10.
The issues that people cited as most important to them personally were the economy and inflation, health care and immigration, the poll found. The kinds of social causes that progressive activists have championed in recent years ranked much lower.
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has paid a modicum of post-election attention to congressional Democrats and sycophantic left-wing media lapdogs.
President Donald Trump is still tantamount to "Hitler," is still intent on creating an "oligarchy," and he couldn't be more of a "white supremacist" if tried. The ridiculous scare-tactic list is never-ending in the TDS-riddled minds of the Democrat Party.
Noted legal scholar and political commentator Jonathan Turley weighed in thusly:
Every single candidate declared that the election was indeed the result, at least in significant part, of “racism and misogyny.” That included Marianne Williamson, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, DNC Vice Chair Ken Martin, Wisconsin Democrat party Chair Ben Wikler, former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir, former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official Nate Snyder, and Newton, Massachusetts Democratic City Committee executive member Jason Paul.
Not one noted that Harris was an awful candidate who refused to do anything other than the most favorable, controlled interviews. Even James Carville (who predicted Harris would defeat Trump) had an increasingly rare moment of clarity after the election. Carville called for a moment of “honesty” and said “We ran a presidential election, if we were playing a Super Bowl, we started our 7th string quarterback. That’s what happened, okay?” He added that it would have helped to have a presidential candidate who could “actually complete a sentence.”
Yet, Turley wrote:
Kamala Harris is reportedly consulting with Hillary Clinton on how to address her defeat. It was a telling turn since Clinton seemed to blame everyone from James Comey, self-hating women, Russians, Bernie Sanders, and misogynists for her defeat. That comes after many of us noted that Harris was re-running the same Clinton campaign with identity politics at the forefront and refusing to answer questions on key issues.
So far, the Democrats' bubble of delusion remains mostly impenetrable.
And that's not only a good thing for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, it's an even better thing for patriotic, freedom-loving Americans across this awesome country of ours.
In the latest example, the DNC became a parody of itself, noted Turley, from a singing pitch for Chair to an explanation of gender rules that even left many attendees puzzled. Even worse for the party, the DNC elected Ken Martin as its new Chair. The longtime leader of Minnesota’s far-left Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party demanded Trump be tried for treason after the Russian bounty controversy.
Then It Got Even Worse (Funnier)
As my colleague Nick Arama reported on Saturday, the DNC also elected 24-year-old gun-grabber-wannabe man-child David Hogg as DNC Vice Chair.
The ever-bitter Hogg, who first entered the national spotlight after surviving the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, has continually called for defunding the police, abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and has decried the National Rifle Association (NRA) as a "terrorist organization."

Cooked, indeed. Even better, the Democrats intentionally continue to cook themselves.
'The Democrat Party Has Become a Ship of Fools'
Perfect description, as Turley continued to skewer the Democrats and their ridiculous DNC.
The Democratic Party has become a ship of fools. I previously worked Democratic campaigns from Ted Kennedy to Mo Udall to many Illinois candidates. The party was truly a party of the middle class with centrist values, including support for free speech. It cannot seem to break from identity politics as its primary focus and reason for being. Worse yet, it is “reimagining” the 2024 election in a way to keep reality within a comfort zone.
Exactly. As the old saying reminds us:
Continue to do what you've all done and you'll always get what you always got.
Again, let's hope the amazingly out-of-touch Democrat Party continues as is.
