A New Hope
The chaos reigning in the Democratic Party has taken a dramatic turn. According to the New York Times, their search for stability and leadership has brought them to Congresswoman Alexandria Ortiz Cortez (AOC) as the new potential leader of the Party. According to some polls, she best represents the values of the Party. Not kidding. She will be under the wing of, and mentored by, gadfly Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. What a pair, an old coot and a clueless cutie.
Rep. Sandy Cortez as the leader of the Democratic Party is laughable. In her six plus years in congress she has not authored one piece of legislation. She and her pals in the “Squad” (five radical congresspersons) Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Reps. Greg Cesar (D-TX), Summer Lee (D-PA), Delia Ramirez (D-IL), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are radical bomb throwers who practice hate America speech. Just look them up. These are not Kennedy, Johnson, Carter or Clinton Democrats, these are committed Marxist socialists, Democrats in name only.
Just when you think it couldn’t be any worse, up pop members of the legacy media who think she should run for Chuck Schumer’s Senate seat or even better, President of the United States. Bear in mind that less than 10 years ago, Sandy was a bartender, serving beer and bad advice to drunks in a New York tavern. Never mind that she has a degree from Boston University. Was this the best job she could find? Please. Sandy Cortez has a political vision for this Nation that will appall the majority of Americans if it ever gets exposed by the media. Fat chance.
Sandy is a darling of the media who has embraced the radical policies of Bernie Sanders. Remember Bernie is thought by many not to be an Independent but a closet Communist. After all he did honeymoon in the old Soviet Union. Moscow has always been a desirable destination for newlyweds. The continuation and endorsement of this young woman’s political career is not in the best interests of this Nation. Sandy thinks she’s America’s version of Eva Peron, a transformational spiritual leader. What codswallop (Sandy has no idea of what that word means).
“Fight Oligarchy” rallies were held this past weekend in Colorado and Arizona. The headliners were Bernie and Sandy. Thousands of folks showed up…many paid by dark money radical organizations. Professional looking signs were abundant. These were not spontaneous get togethers, they were carefully planned, hoping for legacy media coverage to push their agenda. Chances are fairly good that the majority of attendees had no idea what an oligarchy was.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been seen on tour, stirring the pot, reveling in the declining price of Tesla stock. The failed Vice-Presidential candidate fancies himself as the logical leader of the party. Quite frankly Walz would be better off competing in the newest edition of “Dancing With The Stars”. Perhaps his “walz” moves could win him the coveted Crystal Ball trophy, but not the leadership of the Democratic Party…even if Sandy was his dance partner.
The commonality that these would be party chieftains have, is that Gen Z isn’t buying their bull. The latest polling indicates that young men and women are more likely to support Trump than any of barnstorming Socialists railing against Musk and Oligarchy. The youth vote is not buying their radical vision. This news has roiled the party into thinking that the solution is to throw Senate Minority Leader Schumer under the bus and search for younger more dynamic leaders…like Bernie?
So, who is the “New Hope” for the Democrat party? The Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro is mentioned as well as that state’s fashion plate Senator John Fetterman. Looking at the national pool of potential leaders, certainly California’s soon to be termed out Governor and budding podcaster, Gavin Newsom should be in the mix. The entire Nation knows how his thoughtful and skilled rule of The Golden State has made him the envy of America’s other 49 Governors. Finally let’s not leave out Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) who is the young Maxine Watters. She is trying to out loon Sandy. Certainly, she deserves consideration as an up and comer in the party?
These wannabe leaders have the following in common. All of them are committed to fighting President Trump on his border and criminal deportation policy, rooting out waste and fraud in the federal government, and making the playing field even by eliminating DEI in government and making all jobs based on merit and ability. Sadly, these dummies don’t realize that’s why voters chose Trump over Harris in November.
It's going to be a long and interesting search to find a leader with the charisma of John Fitzgerald Kennedy or even the boyish charm of Bill Clinton. Forget the likes of Obama as his brand of partisan politics doesn’t resonant with folks…and Michelle Obama said on her failing podcast that she has no interest in seeking any office.
The Democrats just keep dropping the F Bombs about Trump. No party leader would sanction that behavior.
Real proof that there’s no new hope.
