And it's not just a Post-Election re-grouping, nor is it a one-off. It was as predictable as Winter Snow or Spring Rain.
The good part is -- It's only going to get worse. Much worse. A lot worse. Bunches worse. A;; they got now is riots. And Hate. Always with the Hate. And destruction.
The DNC is Broke. Dead-Ass Broke
John Sexton reports it's full of good stuff.
By "good stuff" I mean the Democrat Party is now basically
a slap-fight melee 8th grade girls and their gay besties.
Just months into the tenure of a new party leader, Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee's financial situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying the bills.
Fund-raising from major donors -- some of whom Mr. Martin has still not spoken with -- has slowed sharply. At the same time, he has expanded the party's financial commitments to every state, and even to far-flung territories like Guam.
Fellow Democrats are grumbling that Mr. Martin, who quietly accepted a raise after taking the post, has been badly distracted by internal battles. So far, they say, he has been unable to help unite his party against Republicans, who control the federal government.

"What they are seeing is headline after headline of incompetence and infighting, and I think that is a real problem not just for the D.N.C. but for the larger Democratic brand," he said. "We need to come together and focus on the issues at hand. That's got to happen now. And I mean today. And if that can't happen, we need to shift course."
...
Part of the bumpy beginning appears to be fallout from a bare-knuckled fight for the chairmanship. With the spoils going to the winner as usual, Mr. Martin has pushed to install allies in some key posts -- and remove supporters of his vanquished rivals.
"Some of the changes will leave people feeling as if they don't have a seat at the table," said Donna Brazile, an influential former party chairwoman and a current D.N.C. member, who did not endorse a candidate or vote in the race for chair. "He has his own inner circle. I'm not in it, and I don't want to be in it."

Mr. Martin had offered to keep the two top union leaders -- Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, and Lee Saunders, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees -- as members of the D.N.C. But he would not renew their plum assignments on the powerful Rules and Bylaws Committee, which controls how the party nominates its presidential candidates.
The Hogg episode also consumed and exasperated party leaders for close to two months.
"This is worse than some high school student council drama," said Representative Mark Pocan, a Wisconsin Democrat.
