I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to vote for David Hogg for DNC vice chair.
But he's there now, and as Scott Pinsker at our sister site PJ Media reported, what he's planning to do may just kill the Democratic Party.
Hogg is doing something that is unprecedented as a DNC vice chair. He's planning on spending big -- $20 million -- to take down other Dems, to primary "ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel" Democrats with his "Leaders We Deserve" group.
It’s an unprecedented, and controversial, move from a national officer within the Democratic Party that will enrage some insiders. Democratic Party committees, like the DNC, have traditionally not opposed incumbents in their own party, focusing instead on attacking Republicans, while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is explicitly set up to protect incumbent members by providing resources, fundraising and strategy.
Translation? When they're so lost and Americans are rejecting them because they're too extreme, it sounds like they're going to ramp up the extremism with more progressive candidates. He thinks that's going to help their "crisis," admitting they had a big problem.
[Hogg] acknowledged “there are going to be people who are very, very upset about this” but argued Democrats “are in a crisis right now,” citing a recent CNN poll that found the party’s approval rating at 29 percent, a record low for the party.
“Our base is craving dramatic change,” Hogg said. “We need to show our base we’re here to fight for them. We need to show there are younger faces stepping up.” [Emphasis added.]
So do in all the moderates when they just told you in very clear terms that they didn't want extremism? Not only are they going to drive the American center further away, but their own people are going to flip out on them for the circular firing squad he's forming to primary people.
But then after saying that, he's not targeting people like 85-year-old Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who he terms a "fighter." So how much is his effort worth? He didn't give an exception for Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the story.
James Carville knows how bad this is and he blasted Hogg's actions to Chris Cuomo on News Nation: "I don't know if I have standing, but I might give the DNC $10 to sue him. He's a contemptible little twerp if you ask me."

"Sue his punk ass!" Chris Cuomo said, egging him on, saying if he did, he'd have him back to talk about it.
Carville is at an age where he doesn't hold back and is often way off the mark, but he's right on the money with this one.
David Hogg Took Just Days to Wear Out His Welcome at the DNC As He Makes It All About Himself
Keep at it, Democrats. Keep doing each other in and that should work. We'll just grab the popcorn and have some fun as you circle the drain. They may even lose some traditionally blue seats with these kinds of moves. They're going to be wiped out so badly if they continue these antics.
The answers to their problems are simple, but because they're Democrats and they have tied themselves so tightly to extremism, they're refusing delivery on reality.
Editor's Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
