Chuck Todd mostly right as he admonished a failed Democratic Leadership (VIDEO)

What does one do when it is clear that that the Democratic Party's leadership is out of step with the national reality. Individual activists and loyalists must not only point out the flaws but build a coalition to mitigate the shortcomings. Chuck Todd and Cook Political Report Dave Wasserman pointed out something many loyal Democrats have been screaming for some time now

Dems out of touch" line especially from Chuck Tod and others outside the party.

There is so much pressure to have us fighting with each other.

We my not get the backing of Trump voters but that is ok. We should not make a right turn to win conservative votes and loose some of our own.

If we have to embrace greed, hatred and ignorance to gain power than we are truly lost.

start of Democratic Presidential runs. There are no stand out candidates, as Hillary was, and the RW plus Toadies in the media are trying to goad Democrats into pushing one out there, so they can make it a Trump v Whoever, and knock the crap out of them. DON'T FALL FOR IT !!! If there is a stand out, Republicans can make it about 2020 rather than the clusterfuck they are making of their stewardship. Democratic Politicians are doing a great job in an extremely difficult situation, where they have no political control. Already, there are half a dozen who are clearly excelling in their work, so let them continue and the cream will rise to the top.
