“The Democrats face a real dilemma that may cripple their ability to be competitive in upcoming elections. Real cracks are forming within the party’s coalition. The Democratic base and left wing were furious at Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer when he dared to allow the recent continuing resolution to go through to avoid a government shutdown. Mr. Schumer is in what I would consider the survivalist wing. The survivalists accept that hard-left policies and past performance failures have put the Democrats in a vulnerable position. The survivalist wing understands that the party’s 29% national favorability represents a real danger (it is almost comparable to the Republican collapse after Watergate in the 1970s). As California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently said, ‘The Democratic brand is toxic.'” (04/07/25)
