Krauthammer: The Problem with the Dem Party Is the Clinton-Pelosi Wing Does Not Have a Message

‘The problem is it doesn’t have an ideological and intellectual coherence’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KRAUTHAMMER: "The paradox here is that one wing of the party, the base has a message because it has an ideology. That’s the Bernie Sanders wing. They actually have a coherent set of ideas. They want to create a government run health care, they want government intervention, higher taxes and open borders. They want to create a European social democracy. I think it’s nuts, I think it’s a terrible outcome but he hung in there for six months against Hillary. It’s a strong base of the party, it’s not the majority. The rest of the party, the Clinton wing, and two are the regulars do not have a message. That’s the problem. By message, they appealed to blacks and Hispanics, to young people, to mostly to women but it’s mostly single women, to LGBT, they have constituencies. It’s a stitching together of constituencies hoping that will put them over 50%. That’s a strategy, it may work. It worked with Obama, he put together large elements of those constituencies and he won twice. The problem is it doesn’t have an ideological and intellectual coherence."
