[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you actually read the article? I'm guessing not, because despite the clickbait cover, it's really just a sympathetic profile of Chuck Schumer. Yes, Democrats have some challenges. Are they going to be lost in the wilderness forever? Of course not.

And I didn't know that Trump was a Schumer donor!
Despite their spats, Trump was a regular donor--he saw it as the cost of doing business in Manhattan. In total, the Trump family has given more than $80,000 to Schumer's electoral efforts over the years, according to federal records, which is not a huge amount by political standards, but not token either.

Yes, I did read the article and the relationship between Trump and Schumer is not a revelation. As Trump said repeatedly during the campaign, he used to contribute to both parties.

The cover personifies the current state of the Democratic party. Will it change down the line? I am sure it will though I doubt if we have hit bottom because there is remarkably little introspection within the party as to what happened over the past eight years for us to have been literally decimated in individual states. We just rely on convenient explanations of gerrymandering, racism, uneducated voters, Putin, Comey and so on. Not a prescription for a turnaround, IMO.[/quote]
