The Democrats have come unhinged

While the Senate Democrats were trying to damage the reputation of the CIA, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) were taking a stand against the “cromnibus.” Their high-profile agitation against the bill was in opposition to the White House and even Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who both advocated for the bill’s passage to keep the government open. And Warren’s objection to the bill was completely dishonest. She has taken the mantle of a populist, liberal Democrat in railing against Wall Street, but I wonder: Who will be appearing at her Manhattan fundraisers over the next year? After all, the segment of the American population that has benefited the most under Democratic rule over the past six years is the wealthiest one percent. This group includes a heavy concentration of the limousine liberals from Wall Street who bankroll much of the Democratic efforts.

Anyway, for a Republican, watching the Democrats come apart at the seams is fun. We are starting to see a lot of daylight between the White House and the Democrats and cracks within the party as Democrats struggle to decide who they are, what they really believe and what their message will be in the minority. They are already acting as though they are in the political wilderness, and I am not sure how they will snap out of it.
