Senator McCormick Nails the Democrat Nightmare

 Over there in Newsmax, two days after Michigan’s Democrat voters nominated the hard-left Abdul El-Sayed for a Senate seat in the state’s Democrat primary, the Senator points to the Democrat Party’s “radicalization.” (RELATED: The Marxist-Islamist Alliance Feeds On DSA Naïveté)

McCormick correctly adds: “This is a party that’s anti-law enforcement. It’s anti-military, it’s anti-business, it’s antisemitic, and it’s anti-American. And that’s what the policy agenda is.” (RELATED: Meet America’s New Un-Americans… the DSA) 

Exactly. (And full disclosure, the Senator represents my own state of Pennsylvania.)

The real question, or one of them in this situation, would be how in the world did the Democrat Party wind up in this situation?

The answer, I would suggest, has been around for a long time — a very long time.

Hop in the history time capsule and rocket back with me to an earlier time — specifically the 1960’s.

In that long-ago time, Democrats nominated the moderate Democrat Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy for President in the famous 1960 election, facing Democrats with then-GOP Vice President Richard Nixon. (RELATED: The Communist Warnings Conservatives Ignored for Years)

The election was close. So close that charges of Democrat meddling in Chicago’s interesting wards have remained in history to this day. But JFK was credited with the win. What happened after that was particularly interesting — and tragic.

Tragically, JFK was assassinated by the pro-Communist Lee Harvey Oswald in November of 1963, succeeded by his Vice President Lyndon Johnson. A year later, in November of 1964, LBJ went on to overwhelm the GOP’s conservative hero Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, leading a unified Democrat Party.

But a mere two years later, increasingly divided by LBJ’s Vietnam War policies, the Democrats were well on the way to an increasingly serious split. That split raged into the open in 1968, with the segment of the Democrats increasingly opposing LBJ’s hard-line Vietnam War policy. There was also a split along cultural lines, with the Left’s attraction to hippies and drugs surging throughout the party and even beyond.

LBJ was opposed by a growing faction of hard-Left Democrats led by Democrat Senators Eugene McCarthy and Robert F. Kennedy (father of today’s RFK Jr.) and challenged in the early Democrat primaries. In a blink, LBJ astonished the political world of the day and announced he was withdrawing from his re-election race.

Succeeded as the Democrat Establishment favorite by his Vice President Hubert Humphrey, LBJ’s withdrawal did nothing to unify the party. By the time of the Democrat Convention in Chicago, all un-shirted h-e-double-you-know-what had broken loose. The Convention was engulfed in anti-war literal riots in the Chicago streets.

Americans had never seen this kind of political warfare at a political convention before. And the fact that it all occurred in front of the day’s television cameras magnified the split. 

Way back there in 1968 — a full 58 years ago! — this was the opening of a cultural Democrat split that has never gone away. Yes, sometimes it has cooled off. But disappeared in the 58 years following that 1968 Democrat chaos? Never.

Just below the surface, the Democrats are still — very much still — what today’s GOP Senator McCormick describes thusly of the Democrats: “This is a party that’s anti-law enforcement. It’s anti-military, it’s anti-business, it’s antisemitic, and it’s anti-American. And that’s what the policy agenda is.”

Exactly.

After 58 years, it is, to say the least, more than slightly difficult to believe that here in the 21st century today’s Democrat party, the heir and descendant of all that 1968 chaos and succeeding over-the-years-division, has resolved its divisions and differences.

This is not to say that various Democrat leaders have not seen and understood this central division, trying their respective bests to unify their party. Democrat presidents from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton to Barack Obama to Joe Biden, some more centrist than others, have all come and gone. Yet the central underlying division between the party’s hard-core far Left and the party Establishment has persisted. There, per the far Left voters of today, the Party remains exactly as Senator McCormick has labeled it: “This is a party that’s anti-law enforcement. It’s anti-military, it’s anti-business, it’s antisemitic, and it’s anti-American. And that’s what the policy agenda is.”

Again.

Exactly.

What Senator McCormick has described exactly is a Democrat Party that is everything he has quite accurately described.

The central question the GOP has to face directly is the hard fact that there are close to 80-some days left to get the party’s fall election message in order. To not only get Senator McCormick’s message out there but also focus on the GOP’s message that should be coming from every party leader, whether running for election or running a campaign for whatever office they may be about.

As always, time flies. And the GOP needs to make sure its message is out there.

Safe to say, starting with Senator McCormick’s message is a good place to start.
