In so very many ways, the Democrats’ cupboard is bare.
We’ve been discussing this ever since His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama left office after eight years of a “Me First” presidency. Not only did it do a lot of damage to the country, but it left his party in a rough place, which is why all they could muster as a ticket for 2016 was Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Clorox can’t bleach anything that white.

The need to recycle Granny Maojackets in a presidential race eight years after the then-upstart Obama threw her from the early polling heights she occupied was the surest sign that the Dems were struggling for candidates whom the American electorate cared about.
This bareness of the cupboard isn’t only noticeable when casting about for new candidates; it is apparent in leadership too. As I wrote in Monday’s Morning Briefing, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer “…doesn’t play hardball as well as some of his predecessors in Senate leadership.” He doesn’t really do anything as well as his predecessors, which is why this government shutdown did not go well for the Dems. They rushed into it with a battle plan that seemed like it was drawn up on bar napkins by a bunch of drunks, who, when they sobered up, realized that they were too hungover to come up with anything better.
Now, a lot of disgruntled Dems are calling for Schumer to leave his leadership position. In these highly charged political times, it’s not a bad thing to see any major player on the other side teetering. The problem with rooting for them to actually fall is that there is always someone worse waiting in the wings for the Democrats. The aforementioned bare cupboard has a lot of diseased rodents scurrying around in it.
If you look at the likely candidates to replace Schumer should he step aside, it’s a rogue’s gallery of people you wouldn’t want to be caught on an elevator with, even if you were only traveling one floor.
