Just heard former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich define the Democrat Party! VERY interesting!
He said the Democrat party has THREE sections now.
The first section is the far left radical Progressives. Newt said THEY are like a religion. They have certain beliefs about which they are fanatic, and they don't want to allow anyone to believe differently...mostly about things like gender, climate change, and illegal immigrants, and they tend to become hysterical when anyone disagrees.
The second section, he said, is like the Chicago mafia. (Riffing a little bit on what he actually said, here.) They are headed up by toughs like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, and they are all about MONEY and graft and their "foundations" and money laundering. They are for sale in the worst possible way, but they are all about Power, and Greed.
He said the third section is a little, tiny sliver of normal people who are like the old Democrats, and they are powerless because their numbers are too small to make a difference. (I think we used to call them Blue Dog Democrats).
I thought his breakdown was VERY accurate.
Feel free to comment!
