The DNC’s elephant in the room: Dems have a problem — it’s not Donald Trump

[Disir]

But all signs suggest that the DNC is poised to blow this unique moment and potentially guarantee the GOP increasing success over the next four years. This is so because the DNC has become immensely tone-deaf to its own internal problems.

Much has been made, for instance, of Trump’s historically low approval ratings, but less attention has been drawn to the fact that support for the DNC is even worse.

Trump currently has a 45.1 percent favorability rating, one of the lowest for any president in the history of polling. But Democrats fare worse. The DNC has only a 38.8 percent favorability rating.

A January Gallup poll indicated that party identification is at record lows, with 42 percent identifying as independents, 29 percent as Democrats, and 26 percent as Republicans. A recent Washington Post poll showed that the DNC trailed both Trump and the GOP when voters were asked if the party was “in touch” with their concerns. In fact, only 28 percent of those polled felt the party was connected with issues that matter to them.

Chris Cillizza notes that only 52 percent of self-identified Democrats said their party was in touch with peoples’ concerns, while 44 percent said it was out of touch: “Those numbers — particularly among Democrats — are striking. Party leaders in Washington have positioned the party as the voice of the little guy since the earliest days of the Trump presidency: Their side would be the one to stand up for the disenfranchised people in the country whose lives Trump neither cared about nor even thought much about.”

And yet, rather than face the extremely low support for the party, Democrats are busy avoiding and ignoring their own credibility problems. Even Hillary Clinton has refused to take any responsibility for losing the election, citing four external reasons for her loss: “Russian meddling in the election, FBI Director James Comey’s involvement toward the end of the race, WikiLeaks’ theft of emails from her campaign chairman, and misogyny.”


What’s amazing about this list is that there is no reference of any kind to the failures of the DNC itself. Clinton, like all party stalwarts, seems completely incapable of articulating any sort of reasonable assessment of the disasters of the last election.

They don't have any credibility. It isn't coming back any time soon.

The DNC is the democrats' worse nightmare.

As long as you allow the Clinton freeks to control the administration and fund raising, you will keep losing elections you should win handily.

Bull crap.

You need better data.

DJ Trump is currently at 38% down 3 to 4 points from before.

Trump's approval rating fell to its lowest point since inauguration as Republicans ditched the president

 

[ColonelAngus]

Hillary and the rest of the Dems have to explain to their donors why they lost. If there isn't a good explanation, the money spigot might be turned down.

That's all this witch hunt to get TRUMP out of office is about.

That is low. Why is the DNC approval rating also so low, I wonder?

Just what "unique moment" is the DNC poised to blow? Is it a fantasy that the MSM has created for the political base of a political party that has gone from a power to a whiny leaderless mob in less than a decade? If the truth be known the DNC has blown it when they nominated a socialist and a enabler for a sexual abuser. can it be true that the democrat party just realized that they blew it after they lost the presidency and congress and most governors and more than 3,000 state and local elections in lest than a decade?

Yeah, and the GOP is stuck with a guy that has the FBI and the intel agencies and Congress AND lahota after him!

They don't have any credibility. It isn't coming back any time soon.

The problem with Democrats is they are trying so hard to convince their constituents that they really didn't lose, so they don't focus on their own faults.

It's nothing new. They have been doing it for years. Trump won because of Russia which they can't really explain. Bush won because of the Supreme Court. Bush was reelected because he was friends with people at Diebold who manufactured the voting machines people had to get because Democrats complained about punch card ballots.

Then there are the other excuses such as Republicans win because of gerrymandering. Or Republicans won because of Voter-ID which is voter suppression. Or Republicans win because of big corporate money.

So the question is why does the DNC look for excuses instead of improvement? Because they can never tell their constituents that the country doesn't like their platform. If their constituents ever learned that, it would knock the wind out of their sails and they just might stop voting period.

Yes, but you ran a candidate that had the FBI investigating her, and you still voted for the *****.

My man...spot on!

Dems lie all the time because their policies are for THEM...not for the people.

They have to have an ignorant and compliant electorate to be successful.

The biggest enemy to a snowflake is TRUTH...they ******* hate it.

Trump is ******* up the corrupt gravy train, and the corrupt are PISSED OFF.

 

[AntonToo]

Comparing specific person to general political body is always a fools errand.

For example most people rant about the congress, but love their congressman.

For any given race in 2018 Trump will be much bugger factor than DNC
