The American Society of Newspaper Editors heard a statement from President Calvin Coolidge one hundred years ago. The phrase” After all, the main company of the American people is business” was included in the sentence. They are incredibly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing, and prospering in the world.

We’ve condensed Cal’s phrase to” The enterprise of America is business.” ( The DOGE translation of the quote is shorter, pithier, and more effective. )
Politics is a company as well; the same is true of politics. You must adopt the income if you want to know what will happen next.
Despite the” Military-Industrial Complex,” it pales in comparison to the Political-Industrial Complex, which are the businesses, industries, professions, and professionals who have monetized the political status quo. As we already stated:
… D. C. serves as the epicenter of America’s political-industrial challenging. It’s a multitrillion-dollar stick! It also controls the real estate marketplace surrounding Washington, which includes officials, lobbyists, staff, workers, media, and everything else in D.C.’s economic wake. Its tendrils extend so far beneath the surface.
There’s a reason why so many of America’s wealthiest neighborhoods are located in D.C.

Three tales broke over the past 48 hours, detailing the’wizard’ and ‘dealin’ in Democratic Party bosses ‘ smoke-filled offices. They are trying to regain control, but finding it difficult to select a course. They’re also damn confused to come together, and it’s becoming increasingly apparent that a liberal consensus won’t be reached immediately.  ,
Which is a decision in and of itself: Never forget Rush‘s ( the band’s, not Limbaugh’s ) advice:” If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”

This implies that there won’t get a single, unified liberal approach. Alternatively, various activists will use various strategies and remain hoping anything will work. They will undoubtedly unite because of their contempt for Trump and dislike of everything MAGA, but politics is a history of tact. It’s more about what the devil you’re going to do about it than it is about how you feel.
The first path leads us to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn. ) when we follow the money. Murphy, a career politician, was initially elected at the age of 25. He became the youngest legislator on Capitol Hill about 15 years after. He is now 51 and is attempting to become the Democrats ‘ new torchbearer.
Democrats telegraph their movements by coordinating them with the mainstream media, which is always something we should keep an eye on. NBC only gave him one terrible breath part. It improves their communications, but the disadvantage is that you can “reverse-engineer” their strategy by adopting their PR strategies.  ,
Adapted from the post
Sen. Chris Murphy has established himself as a leader who is ready to pursue bipartisan discounts on some of the most contentious issues in Washington.  ,
However, Murphy, D-Conn., has taken steps to put himself at the center of violent resistance to Trump and to let his party’s senior citizens know. Murphy is promoting himself as the spearhead of Democratic Party attempts to resist Trump in Washington by spending a lot of money on social media platforms and broadcasting apps and television.

Murphy is promoting his new information on a variety of platforms, including the liberal” Pod Save America,” host Brian Tyler Cohen and Mehdi Hasan, funny visitors Hasan Minhaj, established advertising sources like NBC News and The New York Times, and the traditional” Hugh Hewitt Show.”
And he spent more than$ 1 million on Meta platform ads in February alone, delivering his message to people directly. According to a study conducted by NBC News and the University of Pennsylvania Program on Opinion Research and Election Studies, it is more than he has spent on Facebook and Instagram in the last five years combined. This period includes his 2024 re-election campaign. According to Murphy’s associates, he has seen a significant increase in engagement across platforms and has doubled his Instagram following in the last two months. [emphasis added]

Sen. Murphy may not be the right person to address this situation, but he is on point. The easiest way to change the Democratic Party’s flagbearer is to replace him.  ,
Sen. Murphy advocates for Trump everywhere, saying,” There’s definitely a debate happening inside the Democratic Party: Should you reserve power, sort of hold and wait, and then jump out of the bushes when the time is right?” Or should you flood the area like Donald Trump floods the area? Should you engage in daily combat? I’m a student who believes that you must fight every day and that if you don’t, people won’t consider it to be a “red alert moment.”

Liberal activists want to hear Sen. Murphy embrace the opposition mantle, and he must do so as soon as possible for his own ends. Otherwise, he’ll burn through his ( limited ) checkbook. However, Democratic tacticians who are smarter than to swing at every pitch are better.
including James Carville.
Carville’s essay suggested that the Democratic Party hold a” strategic political retreat,” advises his party’s members to “roll over and play dead” while the opposition’s support for the Trump administration dwindles, before returning to the fray.
Allow the Republicans to fall from the sky and make the people of America miss us, Carville wrote. ” We should make like a pack of hyenas and go for the jugular until the Trump administration has sunk into the low 40s or high 30s in public approval polling percentages,” the quote reads.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt. ) vehemently disagreed, saying that Democrats have been playing dead for too long.
The Sanders and/or Murphy path is smarter if you need to hit fundraising quotas this month, next month, and the month after that. Carville’s strategy is smarter if the goal is to win elections.
Which is not trivial: Follow. The. Money.
The final story is about a D.C. area gala featuring a few dozen Democratic politicians and left-wing political operatives. The wounded donkeys were looking for a way out of the wilderness while licking their wounds. ( Politico ) obtained their PowerPoint presentation. It merits your consideration. )

The article was titled” Centrist Dem group rails against leftist identity politics and purity tests.” From the text:
One of their takeaways:
- The party should “promote traditional American imagery, community, and patriotism.”
- Candidates should “enter real communities ( such as tailgates, gun shows, local restaurants, and churches )” rather than “elite circles.”
- The party must “own the failures of democratic governance in large cities and commit to improving local government.”
Many of those present also argued that the party needs to “develop a stronger, more relatable Democratic media presence ( podcasts, social media, sports broadcasting )”.
Unfortunately, the Democrats are all against the aforementioned strategies. You can’t aggressively attack anything before rolling over and playing dead. You can’t accept” traditional American imagery” and violent demonstrations (! When you’re wooing your party’s Hamas-loving, flag-burning AOC wing, show patriotism.
This will result in a lot of liberal [EXPLETIVE] being thrown at the wall. The majority of the media will likely churn through a number of potential flagbearers over the course of the next year, hoping one of them will stick. It won’t be Sen. Murphy. ) And liberal donors will hear contradictory opinions about the plan and objectives, which will lessen their willingness to deposit money.  ,

The Democratic Party will remain politically paralyzed until something or someone goes viral.
And it will eventually. It always succeeds.
However, the Trump administration still has a chance to make America great once more. It won’t really matter what the Democrats do if they are successful.
Because MAGA’s business is preserving our nation.
