My response, for the sake of this nation. There is indeed a deeper and pronounced struggle in the Democratic Party.
For some well placed Democrats the key political word is resist and resist anything Trump. Democrat leaders such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Maxine waters, John Lewis, and Thomas Perez are dealing in too many absolutes and their myopic view of resist only is hurting all of us.
There is no room for dissenters in their Democratic Party. For example take the issue of abortion. You cannot be an anti-abortionist and a progressive Democrat, according to the aforementioned. Well this does not bode well for Heath Mello, a democrat who is running for Mayor in Omaha and is an anti-abortionist.
It does not bode well for Jim Kessler, VP of Third Way an organization of moderate Democrats whose mantra amounts to "renaissance" not resistance" .
The Democratic party need to loosen up the social justice agenda and start focusing on how to past legislation that will grow this economy.
and to do that they need to push aside the bad and bias counsel of the Pelosi, Obama's Schumers Perez.....
True enough the Republicans have their issues also and they too need to push them through and out of the way for the nation's sake.
So once again why do I desire to see the Liberal (progressive) (Democratic) Party saved. Because we need rationale and competing voices from both sides of the aisle to bring forth effective, efficient and forward thinking legislation.

I assume you refer to the Democratic party since there is no "liberal" party.
Yep, the Democrats need leadership, and the right kind, but the party is getting stronger.
I have said and will keep on saying it.......the Republican party is flat out folding in front of our eyes, no thanks to the President.
Having so much time to prepare legislation, after 8 years of just standing by and watching and they seem totally inept.
It is becoming increasingly clear, at this writing anyway, that ideology is becoming less important. We have a Republican President and congress who wants to spend money like a drunken sailor, thus they have lost their way fiscally. They have a president who is motivating, not his party, but the other party, along with many of his own to oppose him. Trump, in my opinion is on his own, tearing the Republican party apart. He is making NO appeal to the Democrats or to Republicans who oppose him.
As of now, the mid terms will be a landslide for the Democratic party as I see it, but again that is as of this time in history.
One disaster, and one lie while we are in some kind of crisis and Trump and the party will simply fade away.
I want the real conservatives to stand up....fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility, moral leadership. Right now this is simply a farce to call this party Republican because they are not close.
The adult in the room now is the Democrats, lack of leadership and all. They smell blood on the right, and while they do not "have the cards" right now, they have the Republican party on their heels. Owning all of government, bragging for years about what they would do, and what has happened thus far is a real shame. Mostly for our country.
