There were two events on Tuesday that offered more proof of a national establishment that has lost control: One was a meeting, one an election, and both are harbingers of real danger on the American left.
The meeting took place in Washington, D.C., between presumptive Maine Democratic Senate nominee, the and members of his party in that body.
Some, mostly through wishcasting, thought this would be the end of the alleged oysters farmers run. Instead, it was a coronation, as was predicted in this last week.
A decade ago, one phone call from a party leader could have ended Platners run, but those days are gone. Today, the will no longer allow it.
Here is what brave Senate Minority Leader had to say about the scandal-ridden candidate: “I met with Graham Platner today. Were going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate.”
No, if, ands, or buts.
This was echoed by almost every smiling Democrat leaving the meeting. There will be no last-minute coup to oust the socialist. Instead, the party is pretending to be one big happy family.
That, as they say, is that, and the reason for it is clear. Schumer and grand poobahs of the any leverage over the socialist candidates storming their keep.
Platner doesnt need establishment endorsements. He has Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and, Sen. , I-Vt., and commie podcaster Hasan Pike. He doesnt need establishment money, as there are progressive billionaires more than happy to donate. Even the left-leaning media, always in lockstep with the establishment, have little influence over voters these days.
As in Maine, in New Jerseys 12th congressional district, the Democratic Party elites were unable to fend off the radical Muslim (and socialist) candidate Adam Hamawy, who not only testified on behalf of the terrorist behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but also volunteered for an Al Qaeda-linked group in Eastern Europe.
At best here, the voters in the Garden State are trying to send a terrorist sympathizer to the halls of Congress. At worst, he is just a flat-out terrorist.
At his point, Sen. , D-Pa., who has been sounding the alarm about the craziness overtaking his party, isnt just on an island. Hes on a whole different planet.
Put bluntly, the far-left socialist extremists, with their Nazi and radical Islamic ties, are outflanking, often outspending, and absolutely outperforming the terrified geriatric leadership of the party.
Its become such a party of lunatics that, among the only partial wins the establishment notched Tuesday, in the primary to replace former House Speaker in Californias 11th district, was a weak first place finish for Scott Wiener, himself a leftist lunatic, now headed to a runoff.
Wiener thinks that putting people on sex offender lists after sexual crimes is somehow anti-gay and would trans your toddler at the drop of a hat. But among his opponents was the former chief of staff for Rep. , D-N.Y., and Democratic Socialists of America star Saikat Chakrabarti, who finished in third, failing to make the runoff.
Even this seeming victory is hollow, though. Pelosi endorsed Wiener just two years after she wielded the power to tell then-President that his career was over. Today, she cant get the candidate she endorsed in her own district over 50%.
This , away from the old-school, Ivy League establishment, into the hands of the socialists, the radical Muslims and the guys with Nazi tats, will have profound implications for the 2028 presidential race.
In the last two competitive Democratic Party primary cycles, 2016 and 2020, Bernie Sanders was iced out by party leadership. Remember how, in 2020, after Bidens surprise win in , all the non-socialist candidates suddenly dropped out? That is how it used to work.
A decade ago, the Republican Party was overtaken by , and the GOP establishment was left like Wile E. Coyote frantically running in the air, unawa
