How Democrat mega-donors plan to retake power for the Left.

While Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, tenured professors, and fainthearted college students nationwide continue to react to Donald Trump's presidential election with anger, bewilderment, bouts of weeping, and illiterate tweets, the core leaders of the political Left are already busy planning how they will seek to deligitimize and destroy Trump's presidency before it even gets off the ground.
The
first major effort in that direction occurred this week in Washington’s luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where a group of super-wealthy leftist funders known as the
Democracy Alliance sponsored a three-day, closed-door meeting attended by the multi-billionaire
George Soros, the leaders of many left-wing activist groups and labor unions, and Congressional luminaries like Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, and Keith Ellison. Over the past decade, the Democracy Alliance has given at least
$500 million to pro-Democrat and leftist causes. High on the list of priorities at its Washington conference was a discussion of how to derail Trump's “
100-day plan,” which the Alliance characterizes as “a terrifying
assault on President Obama’s achievements — and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.”
In a recent email to his allies and donors, Democracy Alliance president Gara LaMarche offered a
clear indication of where the Democrats plan to direct their attention and resources over the next few years. Specifically, he said that this week's conference would focus on assessing “what steps we will take together to … take back power, beginning in the states in 2017 and 2018.” Raj Goyle, a Democratic activist who is also involved with the Democracy Alliance, concurred that “progressive donors and organizations need to immediately correct the lack of investment in state and local strategies.”
Let that sink in: State and local … State and local … State and local.
This strategy of focusing on state and local politics dovetails seamlessly with the monumentally significant, recent announcement that former U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder will be chairing the newly formed
National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), which was developed in
close consultation with the Obama White House. NDRC's
mission will be to: (a) help Democrats take control of the political offices that decide how state legislative and congressional districts are configured, and (b) configure them in a way that will maximize Democratic power in the U.S. House of Representatives as well as in statehouses across the country.
