Clinton advisor just blew up the Democrat Party with four words

The Democrats are in an existential crisis. It’s worse than you could imagine.

Because a Clinton advisor just blew up the Democrat Party with four words.

It is not an overstatement to say that the Democrat Party is legitimately facing the beginning of the end of their Party dominance in America if they do not make serious changes in the next few years. Some in the mainstream media are trying to play damage control, arguing that Donald Trump’s win wasn’t as much of a resounding win as Barack Obama’s or George Bush’s.

That’s true, but that’s ignoring all of the political and historical context. It ignores the reasons why the Democrats lost in such a stunning fashion this November. The reason why is that they’ve boxed themselves into far-Left extremism with no clear way out of that box. Any move they make will have consequences and all the Democrat operatives have different opinions about what to do next. It’s tearing the Party apart.

The reason you know this is the case is because some brave Democrats are just calling it like it is, admitting that Donald Trump has played the Democrat Party like a fiddle and has them in a check-mate. To ignore this is to ignore reality, something the Democrats have been doing for years which is why they are in the position they are in.

Clinton Advisor Pulls No Punches, Declares Democrats Are Risking Being Irrelevant

Doug Schoen, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, warned on Thursday that the Democratic Party risks becoming “a permanent minority party” if it does not adapt to the shifting political landscape. Schoen’s comments followed the 2024 election, in which President-elect Donald Trump secured both the popular vote and the Electoral College, while the Republican Party also maintained control of the House of Representatives and regained a majority in the Senate.

Appearing on The Faulkner Focus, Schoen argued that Republicans could retain their dominance for the foreseeable future if the Democrats fail to “learn from this election.” He emphasized that the party’s failure to connect with the concerns of ordinary Americans has been a major factor in its struggles. “My party is out of touch. We’re an elite party. We believe that rock stars and political elites decide. What Trump did was connect with ordinary people on issues they care about,” Schoen explained. “Inflation, cost of living, the border. Real issues that people care about. That’s the issue.”

When host Harris Faulkner asked if Schoen was concerned about the future of the Democratic Party, he responded unequivocally: “Yes. I’m worried that we will be a permanent minority party unless we learn from this election. And so far, no learning has been done.”

Faulkner, visibly surprised, noted the weight of Schoen’s remarks, acknowledging his extensive experience in observing political change over the years.

In the 2024 election, Trump triumphed over Vice President Kamala Harris, securing 312 electoral votes and nearly 77 million votes — just under 50% of the total vote, according to the Cook Political Report. Trump’s success was largely driven by strong support from Hispanic men, rural voters, and other key demographics.

CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten had warned earlier in the year about Trump’s strong performance with working-class voters, traditionally a Democratic stronghold. “Republicans, specifically Donald Trump, are doing very, very well among working class voters, whether they were in unions, whether they went to trade school or whether they’re voters of color,” Enten noted.

He pointed out that Trump had made significant inroads with groups that historically voted Democratic, a shift that surprised many given the party’s historical dominance in these areas.

The question to answer is why Donald Trump performed so much better with voting blocs that are historically reliably blue. Is it just a regular roller coaster cycle of politics going one way and then a different way a few years later? That’s simply unlikely.

Most honest political commentators and pundits agree that there’s a policy issue here for the Democrats and they will have to shift or risk being irrelevant for decades to come just like Schoen has said in his Fox News interview.

Simply put, Americans aren’t ready to say that young boys can “identify” as young girls. They may never be. They also don’t want to accept that the border is broken and that illegal immigrants have to be made welcome, lest you risk being made out to be a “racist.”

As I’ve been saying for months, Democrats are embarrassed of the trans issue now. They’re going to try to chop the T from the LGB and pretend the last ten years never happened.
