The Democratic Party has been taken over by lunatics, a former advisor to President Donald Trump said Sunday. Speaking to John Catsimatidis on his “The Cats Roundtable” radio show on AM 970 in New York, Sebastian Gorka said two decades ago former President Bill Clinton “would at least rein in the loonies” in his party, but today “the lunatics are taking over the asylum… and you understand that the Democrat Party has been taken over by radicals.” For example, Gorka said Sen. Kamala Harris has compared DHS and ICE to the KKK and that newly elected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is publicly calling for a socialist revolution. He insisted the situation has become so bad that, “today, a hard-core, pro-nationalist security politician like John F. Kennedy would not be allowed in the Democrat Party.” Gorka said this trend in the Democratic Party was started by former President Barack Obama, who spent eight years … [Read more...] about Former Trump Adviser Gorka: Democratic Party Has Been Taken Over Buy Lunatics

Ewing died Friday at age 64, according to the Dallas County Democratic Party. During a decade as the party's chairwoman, she helped usher in a period of dominance for Democrats in county elections. From 2005 until she resigned in June 2015, Democrats swept local judicial races and moved into the district attorney's office. "She took the Democratic party to where it is today," said John Creuzot, a Democrat newly elected as Dallas County's district attorney.The county's Democratic Party lost only one contested election during Ewing's tenure: the contentious race between former District Attorney Craig Watkins and Republican Susan Hawk. "We've done what they said couldn't be done — and much more," Ewing said in 2015. "It's been an honor to serve, and I'm excited for the future." … [Read more...] about Darlene Ewing, who helped turn Dallas blue in a decade as Democratic Party chair, dies at 64
Boston state Rep.-elect Nika Elugardo says the Democratic Party is ‘straight-up racist’
Some of the newly-elected Democratic women in Massachusetts say they had to work against their own party to secure their wins. State Reps.-elect Nika Elugardo and Liz Miranda and Suffolk County District Attorney-elect Rachael Rollins, speaking on a panel on WGBH’s “Basic Black” last Friday, detailed how the party highlighted white candidates in its literature and boosted their primary election opponents as they discussed their winning campaign strategies. Elugardo went so far as to call the party “straight-up racist.” “What needs to be said in a straight forward way is that the Democratic Party is straight-up racist,” Elugardo told host Callie Crossley. “The structural racism that we’re talking about dismantling is in the party, and this is one of the reasons why it’s frustrating to be standing up on a stage at a Democratic Party behind speeches being made about Republicans dividing the country.” “Here’s the … [Read more...] about Boston state Rep.-elect Nika Elugardo says the Democratic Party is ‘straight-up racist’
San Antonio artist files suit against Texas Democratic Party
By Gilbert Garcia Published 4:42 pm CST, Saturday, November 10, 2018 Over the past decade, San Antonio artist Cruz Ortiz has been a huge asset to the Democratic Party cause. In 2008, Ortiz lent his irreverent Chicano pop-art sensibilities to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, hosting a bash at his home in which he silk-screened plain T-shirts with the message, “Obama tiene ganas.” He raised nearly $5,000 for Obama and later received a thank you letter from the Obama White House. In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s presidential team tapped Ortiz to bring some hipness and Latino outreach to her campaign, and he complied by creating a flag with the word “ganas” under a series of right angles. This year, he produced silk screen designs for Democratic hopefuls such as Gina Ortiz Jones and Beto O’Rourke, with the latter citing Ortiz — during a February town hall at the Ella Austin Center — as the embodiment of the energy that … [Read more...] about San Antonio artist files suit against Texas Democratic Party
Abhisit wins primary voting for Democrat Party leadership
Abhisit won 67,505 votes from Democrat members from across the country, while Warong and Alongkorn received 57,689 and 2,285 votes respectively. Read also: Does it matter who leads the Democrat Party? The Democrats held a primary vote last week, the first time ever that a Thai party has selected its leader with input from its members. Abhisit won over Warong by 9,816 votes. A total of 127,479 votes were cast. The result showed the influence of former party secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuban in the country’s oldest political party. It is widely known that Warong is the nominee of ex-protest leader Suthep, who led a protest against the Yingluck government and showed strong support for junta leader Prayut Chan-o-cha to become the next prime minister. Abhisit's win could also shatter the dream of the pro-regime Palang Pracharat Party to have an alliance with the Democrat Party in forming the next government to support junta leader Prayut becoming the prime minister. … [Read more...] about Abhisit wins primary voting for Democrat Party leadership
