REPORT: Democrats Are Tired of the Party Being Run by Obama People: ‘Bloom May be Falling Off the Rose’
Democrats are apparently tired of having their party controlled by people who were part of the Obama government. It’s easy to see why. Obama and people in his orbit have basically been running the Democrat party for almost twenty years.
Since 2016, they have lost to Donald Trump repeatedly. Before that, they lost control of Congress in two Tea Party wave elections.
Maybe David Hogg has a point after all.
NBC News reports:
Obama world loses its shine in a changing, hurting Democratic Party
After Kamala Harris entered the presidential race last year, she reached out to Barack Obama campaign alum Jim Messina to help lead her White House bid.
But when Messina shared news of the vice president’s offer with a friend, he received a stern warning.
“I said ‘Jim, if you get involved in this, it’ll be political suicide,’” Democratic megadonor John Morgan, a longtime Harris critic, recalled of his conversation with Messina, who had served in Obama’s White House and managed his successful 2012 re-election campaign. “You’re going to be a loser. And your whole shine is you’re undefeated.”
Messina declined the job. And after Harris’ loss to Donald Trump, it may not have been a bad move.
David Plouffe, long hailed as the brilliant architect of Obama’s 2008 victory, served in a key role in Harris’ campaign and is now among those tagged with a devastating defeat…
While many Democrats still admire Plouffe’s successes, the harsh words punctuated a growing sentiment across a party searching for a path forward: Team Obama’s bloom may be falling off the rose.
More Democrats are openly criticizing Obama strategists and consultants, who were long treated as the high priests of their party’s politics.
This is the media’s way of nicely asking these people to step aside and let someone else try to run the party. They all know that Democrats have a problem but none of them really know what to do about it. Good luck getting Obama himself to step out of the spotlight.
