The Delusional World of the Media

I just read an article by Matt Bai on Yahoo News.  Now I understand that Yahoo News describes everything in the terms of the ultra-progressive left of the Democrat party, but this article still is important for what it reveals about that group.  Bai's premise is that if the Democrats have large numbers of candidates seeking the presidency in 2020, it will destroy the party just like the large field on the Republican side in 2016 destroyed the GOP.  I'm not making that up.  In 2016, the Republicans won the White House, the Senate, and the House as well as two-thirds of the governors and a large majority of the state legislatures.  Bai considers that the destruction of the Republican party.  I wonder what he would consider a Republican success?  Most likely, the answer is if the GOP were to adopt all of the Democrats' views and remain a permanent minority.

It's hard to discuss things with someone who cannot recognize the reality around him or her.  For the far left, it is an entire group that somehow cannot seem to understand reality.  If someone like Bai actually thinks that 2016 "destroyed" the GOP (and I do not doubt the sincerity of his view), then there's no possibility of having a rational debate about issues.  That's one of the biggest problems in Washington right now.
