'Who are they?' Senior Democratic strategist shocked that anybody supports his party

A senior Democratic strategist expressed shock Tuesday that anybody is supporting his party.

Paul Begala, who served as President Bill Clinton’s chief strategist, announced on CNN that his party’s performance in Washington D.C. had left him in despair.

He was responding to a recent poll that showed the party with a dismal 29% approval rating in the light of its response to the Trump administration.

“I saw that CNN poll,” he said. “We have the Democrats favorable at 29 and I thought, who’s the 29?

“It should be lower. I love the Democratic Party, but I mean, it should be two.”

Begala had been asked by host Sara Sidner, “Here is the question that Democrats around the country are asking, what are you Democrats going to do about it? Why can't there be a message that is stronger? Who is leading the Democratic Party? Because right now, you guys are way underwater when it comes to how the public is viewing the way the Democrats are responding to the Trump administration and what it's doing.”

But Begala did offer a ray of light for his party’s supporters.

“The Democrats are out of power. they look powerless because they are powerless,” he said.

“This is what happens when you lose. … So Democrats have to win. The good news for Democrats is all across the country in special elections, they are winning. They're winning. They won a seat in eastern Iowa that Trump won by 21 points. the Democrat just won by three and a half. So a 25-point swing in a couple of months. They're winning in Minnesota. They're winning in New York. They're winning all across the country.

“And that's what's happening in the grassroots. Now in Washington, forget it.

“So my view is like, let's not wait for Superman. let's just put on a cape ourselves.”
