NOW THIS IS SOMETHING – AT 12:39 P.M. ET:   A new Rasmussen poll reveals a stunningly negative view of the Democratic Party, as viewed by the American people.  From Rasmussen: 

A Democratic gubernatorial candidate from Wisconsin raised eyebrows last week when he said his party is now made up of warring identity groups that won't assimilate. A sizable number of Democrats - and just over half of all voters - agree.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Matt Flynn, a former Wisconsin Democratic state party chairman, that "our party right now ... is pickled in identity politics and victimology. ... There is no assimilation of the party anymore." Just 23% disagree, while slightly more (26%) are not sure.

Even 44% of Democrats agree that their party “is pickled in identity politics and victimology.” Thirty-two percent (32%) don’t agree, but one-in-four Democrats (24%) are undecided. Most Republicans (56%) and unaffiliated voters (53%) say Flynn is right.

Among all voters, 78% believe most politicians these days are more interested in campaigning on what divides us rather than what brings us together. Only 11% feel the opposite is true. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.

COMMENT:  The mainstream media likes to focus on problems within the Republican Party, and they are real, but the Democratic Party is a major mess.  In a way, it isn't really a political party any longer.  It's just a business, with different shareholders dividing up the profits.

The behavior of clowns like Maxine Waters will not help the party's image.  And it has that image despite the efforts of the aforementioned media to sanitize it.  The inmates have truly taken over the asylum.
