Why are we Democrats letting Trump determine who is this week's face of the Democratic Party?


Regarding the 2020 November Presidential Election, it won't matter how people in California and New York vote. Logic would say that since this writer is in California, no reason exists to stew about Trump's reelection campaign.

Still it is utterly, frustratingly amazing how easily Trump can control the "news cycles" to make the Democratic Party even less appealing to the marginalized white Rust Belt blue collar voter.

In between Democratic debates Trump is successfully controlling the face of the Democratic Party. He has made certain that right now it is the four freshman members of the House of Representatives pictured above.

Yes, I do understand that some unforeseen economic or world event that occurs between now and the fall of 2020 could determine how the 2020 election will turn out. But right now the Democratic Party cannot even control its own image when the only "events" are those created by Trump solely for political purposes.

Then again, this writer was born in, and lives in, California, a place which seems different from the Trump States of America...


...and living here makes it urgently clear that beating Trump is the only valid political goal for any Democrat. And that's what Californian Nancy Pelosi understands.

Despite Pelosi's efforts, it appears that the Democratic Party intends on giving the left that revolution it apparently wants - four more years of Donald Trump, as Thomas Friedman notes in ‘Trump’s Going to Get Re-elected, Isn’t He?’  Every caring Democrat should read Friedman's thoughts.
