From Newsmax
There was a line in there from Carl Higbie talking about how "the Republican Party is the party of decorum and the Democratic Party" (that he calls the Democrat Party) is the party of the Al Green's and people who heckle President's at the SOTU. (It's hard to write and laugh at Carl Higbie at the same time) So it's really Carl Higbie who needs the reality check here. Do you remember:
Representative Joe Wilson from 2009 saying to President Obama: "You lie!" when the President was talking about health care reform.
Who can forget Representatives Marjorie T. Greene and Lauren Boebert from 2022, when they're literally standing up heckling President Biden during his SOTU? Representative Green also trying to sell MAGA hats on Tuesday at the SOTU.
So, please, Mr. Higbie, just dump your garbage (to be kind) on your cult followers. But when you are trying to speak to a larger audience, get a lot closer to the facts. Be in the same zip code, at least.
I don't want play "Of yeah! What about the other side?" here (even though I sort have already did) and as my colleague Derik Schneider already warned Congressional Democrats on Tuesday:
"So while Donald Trump and MAGA are screwing up the country and screwing over their own voters, you have these left-wing Democrats who want to be the faces of the Democratic Party and essentially tell swing voters and Republican voters who don't like Donald Trump and MAGA:
"Hey, you may think they're incompetent and crazy, but you should look at us as well. We got into political debates at the same nuthouse that MAGA was at before Donald Trump pardoned them and brought them into his administration".
And instead of letting the Democratic Leadership just talk about how bad Donald Trump and MAGA are, the Socialist-Left in America wants to become the issue in America and have Democrats promote their crazy politics of:
Cutting off Israel and perhaps Ukraine as well
Nationalizing health care and health insurance and perhaps banking and energy as well.
Defunding the police
They're tell people it's not murder when it's a CEO who is killed. And Democrats should be defending Luigi Mangione, instead arguing he's getting what he deserves.
The reason why the so-called democratic-left (even though some of them are actually Communists, at least ideologically) is on the outside looking in of the Democratic Leadership and broader Democratic Party, is because they're not popular within the Democratic Party. And if these folks ran Green Party, they would struggle to get 5-10% of the vote in the general election.
Right now it's MAGA that is screwing up America. Donald Trump and MAGA are what American voters don't seem to like or trust government. Let's not give them another reason not to trust and like government by trying to prove that Democrats are just as crazy and incompetent as President Trump and MAGA."
From The New Democrat
And as my colleague Ederik Schneider mentioned on Tuesday as well:
"As far as President Trump's speech tonight: I know the far-left (or crazy left) will hate hearing this, but Congressional Democrats don't need any Marjorie T. Greene or Lauren Boebert, professional impersonators tonight. I hate to break it to anyone who is new to America, but the state of the union speech is not a Real Housewives episode. It’s a serious event and part of our Constitution. I know with a lot of the political events of the last 10 years, America might just look like the latest hit, “reality TV show”. But government is supposed to be serious, at least. Leave the political Real Housewives to MAGA.
The state of the union speech is a very serious speech. My advice for House and Senate Democrats is to listen to the speech make any negative facial or physical expressions that you want (hopefully something humorous) let's say short of flipping the bird, or standing up and cussing him out and yelling. He's going to give a bad speech. Why not just sit there and look bored, while House MAGA flips out and goes crazy over it, like they're at a Nazi Party rally or something.
Congressional Democrats should show the American people that even though the Democratic Party is both the opposition, as well as minority party right now, they're still the political adults in the room. Or at least in the House chamber. And the voters simply made a really bad choice to either vote for MAGA, or not bothering to vote at all."
From The New Democrat
Ok, so I admit it: the far-left of the Democratic Party (at least in the House Democratic Caucus) doesn't read or listen to The New Democrat. So maybe we shouldn't try to tell them to put their guns down (even if they're just water guns) before they politically shoot themselves in the foot over and over and over and over and over again and one more time, just to make sure.
But we've made it clear why:
the Hakeem Jeffries's, the Chuck Schumer's, the Ken Martin's, why the Bill Clinton's, Barack Obama's, the Joe Biden's, have led the party in the past and why Ken Martin leads the party today.
Why Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination in 2016 and not Bernie Sanders. Why Joe Biden won the Democratic nomination in 2020, instead of everyone's favorite Socialist Bernie Sanders. Why the Democratic Party just handed off the nomination to Kamala Harris in 2024, instead of having a contested primary season, where at least 2 Democratic Socialists would've probably ran for President.
There's a huge difference between campaigning, politicking, "going viral" on social media, or trying out for your own, or trying to produce your own political reality TV show (The Crazy Left Invades Washington) and governing.
To govern, you have to be able to produce solid results and work with people who don't always agree with you. But if you don't want to govern, you can just vote no and campaign, politick, "go viral" on social media, and try out for, or try to create your own political reality TV show.
