Tear up the Democratic Party

By Jonathan Tasini



(CNN)There is only one silver lining in yesterday's election results, which will allow a con man, a pathological liar, a bold racist and a sexual predator to succeed the first African-American president.

We can now launch a difficult but urgent mission — shaking the Democratic Party down to its foundation, ejecting the failed Bill/Hillary Clinton economic and global worldview and standing up for a set of populist, sound economic and foreign policy principles that could earn majority support.

It Appears As Though Hillary Clinton Was Ultimately Done In By Low Democratic Voter Turnout


“it would be interesting to think of how Bernie Sanders would’ve done. Bernie Sanders would’ve lost a few Republicans who voted for Hillary because of some of his economic views but he would’ve fought Donald pretty hard for those disaffected, angry, and frustrated workers.” There’s an argument to be made that young voters would have turned out in far greater numbers for Sanders as well. 55% of voters ages 18-29 that turned out in 2016 voted for Clinton, while 60% of that demographic voted for Obama in 2012.
