In Georgia, a Democrat's 'Make Trump Furious' campaign rattles Republicans

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (Reuters) - After the crushing electoral losses that swept Donald Trump into the White House and sealed Republican control of the U.S. Congress, the Democrats' road to recovery winds through the leafy, well-heeled suburbs of north Atlanta.

Here, Democrats are threatening a stunning special election upset that could signal how well the party can turn Trump's low approval ratings into political gains. And they appear to have an ally in the April 18 vote: Trump himself ...

The Democrats that nominated Hillary Clinton? The centrist Democrats? The Democrats that cheated and stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders? The Democrats that just elected Tom Perez as DNC chair over Keith Ellison? The Democrats that lost the election to Donald Trump? The Democrats that support the electoral college and who will continue to take money from corporate donors and lie in bed with Wallstreet, giving them tax breaks and allowing them to hide money in offshore accounts, putting the burden on the backs of middle- to low-income American taxpayers? The Democrats who went from the party of the people to the party of rich elites? THEY are going to take back the Whitehouse?

You beat me to it!!

Yep, the corporate shills who cheated Bernie Sanders out of the nomination and tried to ram a flawed candidate with more baggage than a cargo plane - Hillary - down the throats of democratic voters who made it abundantly clear that they didn't want her now expect those same voters to trust them to take back the House.

Even if they do take it back, on whose behalf will the House work? Oh, I dunno...maybe Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, the war profiteers...pretty much anybody that makes 7 figures or more.

BTW, Keith Ellison JUST told progressives a couple weeks ago that they need to STFU and bow down to Wall Street like good democrats.

Barack Obama, Tom Perez and Keith Ellison, Donna Brazile, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Shumer...all of them need to have a stadium full of seats.

Since the Reagan years it has become painfully obvious that the democratic party has turned its back on its core constituencies: Blacks, the poor, labor, the elderly, inner cities, women and children and rebranded themselves "Republican Lite" with all its attendant selling their constituents up the river.

The DNC and DCCC Confirm They Won’t Support Progressive Candidates
Thompson almost won a red district—without the Democratic establishment's help


On April 11, Democratic congressional candidate James Thompson came close to defeating Republican candidate State Treasurer John Estes in a special election in Kansas, with just over a 6 percent margin in a district that President Donald Trump won by 27 points. However, the bigger story is how Thompson ran a formidable campaign without support from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC); this lack of support likely stemmed from the DCCC’s strategy to abandon rural America and their disdain for candidates who embrace Sen. Bernie Sanders’ progressive agenda ...
