How Bad Will the Dem Civil War Get?

from Ruthless Podcast · host Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook

🎙️ This entire shutdown was a plan without a strategy for success, driven purely by Schumer's desperation to appease an angry base after repeated losses to Republicans. Now, the media is struggling to spin a clear loss as a "win," while Democrats like Sen. Andy Kim still genuinely believe they were fighting a principled fight over Obamacare. This lack of introspection and the sheer cynicism driving the party's leadership have created the perfect conditions for a massive internal civil war. 🫏 In Today's cynical Democrat Party, the hunger for power outweighs family loyalty - see Sen. Shaheen. This is followed by the hard left, led by AOC, twisting the knife in Schumer’s back, accusing him of a coordinated effort to abandon their fight. The fellas speculate if Schumer's political career is finished because he prioritized the fringes and lost the begrudging respect for effectiveness that a true leader must maintain. 👑 Then, King of the Hill is a battle of titans with Cheri Jacobus and Jennifer Rubin facing off in the ring. 00:00 - The Democrat Party's Long National Nightmare Begins 04:50 - Andy Kim and the Obamacare Delusion 13:00 - Family Feud: The Shaheen Civil War 16:15 - AOC Puts the Knife in Chuck Schumer 22:02 - Left-Wing Media Slams Schumer 38:00 - King of the Hill: Jennifer Rubin vs. Cheri Jacobus This podcast has been edited to remove references to Jacquelyn Arthur.
