Monday, March 17, 2025 - Democrats hit an all-time low (for now); where should they go from there?
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Yesterday's 'Meet the Press' was DE-pressing for "D" party folks. When Steve Kornacki rolled out the latest NBC News poll, it showed the party with a meager 27% approval rating. It's a three-decades long low, and after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rallied enough Democrat Senate votes to pass a continuing resolution to keep the federal government (somewhat) churning, there's every likelihood a poll number like that could go lower. Lower than an all-time low. If ever a term defined the Democratic Party, that's it. Joining me today to discuss where the party can/should/might go from there, local liberal political consultant Andrew Heaton. The former Warnock campaign aide and I discuss various liberal politicians and their various means to message and resist (or iwhatever you call what Schumer did). Is there a leader among the current crop? Plus, hear the one name I'm REALLY high on who isn't even in office right now (but Trump wasn't in 2015 either) but who seems to have a lot of the skills and attributes that could resurrect the Democratic Party - even though he's been quite a critic of it the last two-plus decades.
