'Complete Chaos': Why The House Democrats' Campaign Arm Just Purged Its Top Staffers

House Democrats may be united in their hatred of President Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean drama can’t engulf the party. It’s now a two-front war. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who tried to create a buffer zone between Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her crew, was forced to embrace them when Trump attacked them on social media. This Leninist Girl Scout Troop is starting to be viewed as the face of the Democratic Party, along with all of their left-wing proposals that are not viewed favorably by the electorate, especially Independent voters. For swing voters in the competitive House races in 2020, AOC and her posse were not viewed positively at all; the same goes for their trash policy proposals. Now, we have issues at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

These internal divisions aren’t going away. You’d think that the DCCC would navigate through the criticisms concerning a lack of diversity at the upper crust. Nope. Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), the chair this cycle, has decided to cave to those members, purging its top staff.

Gotta love it...watched a bit of the debate last night, what a fiasco. Pandemonium with little control and the format was ridiculous. Frankly, Bernie comes off as the mad hatter and Liz an unhinged radical who is willing to toss caution to the wind and go for broke on issues. The DCCC is crumbling and Trump is smart for calling out the Reps who represent districts in shambles. Point: how can someone manage a country when their district is (as Bernie would say) akin to a third world country. Is that what we want for America?
