According to a new poll by The Washington Post and ABC, over half of Americans believe the current Democratic Party doesn’t stand for anything besides resisting President Trump.
The poll asked 1,001 Americans, “Do you think the Democratic Party currently stands for something, or just stands against Trump?”
Only 37 percent of respondents believed that the Democratic Party “stands for something,” while 52 percent of respondents said the party “just stands against Trump.”
The apparent messaging problem was even starker among registered voters, of which only 35 percent felt the Democrats stand for something while 54 percent felt they only stand against Trump.
The poll was taken between July 10-13 and surveyed more Democrats than Republicans. 35 percent of respondents identified themselves as Democrats, 23 percent as Republicans, and 35 percent as Independent.
Some Democrats are starting to sound the alarm bells, warning their party that the anti-Trump messaging isn’t attracting voters.
Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, for example, has recently called on Democrats to adopt a strong economic message, while Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy argued that the Democrats spend too much time talking about Russia at the expense of other issues that matter to voters.
Democrats want to take the easy road and just impeach Trump and take over. They don’t seem to understand that they have to have grounds for impeachment or a strong majority. Right now they have neither and if they continue as they are, they never will.
They can hope the Republicans will screw up so badly as to make them more repugnant than they are, but that’s not a good plan. They think developing a replacement health care plan will do them in, not taking into consideration WHAT they are replacing and WHY. Of course, the liberal media will aid them on all fronts, but the media has their own image problems.
If the election were held again, Trump would beat Hillary even worse.
We are already seeing a backlash against incumbants; both Dems & Reps.
With Reps they are mostly the GOPe’rs who are stalling the Trump agenda.
So, the Rep primaries will be offering alternatives to another GOPe.
In Wis, for example, Paul Nehlan is running against Paul Ryan.
He does live call-ins on Gab on Thurs.

There will be others lining up to replace those “Never-Trumpers.”
And, if we get rid of some of them it will be Good Riddance!
