(Red State)—While stories like the cease-fire between Iran and Israel and the deportation of illegal immigrants are right now on the front page of the news, through all of it, the story of the Democrat Party’s implosion with no real end in sight is an ongoing one. We learned months ago that they learned nothing from the drubbing the American people gave them in November, and refuse to come off of totally far-left off-the-wall views on issues like immigration and men playing in women’s sports. But if they won’t listen to elected Democrats, pundits, or strategists, will they listen to an average American who still supports them?

One podcast may hold the answer. On a recent episode of “The Morning Meeting,” a woman named Sharon appeared on the podcast with former Democrat strategist Dan Turrentine, political analyst Mark Halperin, and former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer. She described herself as a “lifelong Democrat.” She also had this to say:
“I have been super active in campaigns — I’ve worked on them, I’ve volunteered for them, I’ve contributed to them. I’m so appalled by the Democratic Party. I have no idea what they stand for. I have no idea what their policies are. The things that I see that they most talk about feel very, like, bad for the country, bad for the people — super fringy. So why would — how would you convince me to stay in that party and support it, given what is happening today?”
Dan Turrentine attempted to tackle Sharon’s challenge. He replied:
“It’s a great, great question, Sharon, and I think you speak for a lot of people. And at times you speak for myself, right? Which is just the immense frustration with being rudderless and leaderless and just kind of — often what we talk about is just our dislike of [President Donald] Trump, right? It’s just — we scream and pull our hair out and say he’s a king, etc.”
Sharon went on to say that the Democrat Party is “in fear of a highly vocal group — like the far, far left.” Halperin then asked who her ideal presidential candidate would be. She cited Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). She also said that being from Pennsylvania, she followed Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), but thought that Khanna was a more appealing candidate.
She continued, saying that for Fetterman to recently make the statement that he supports the military, and for that to be a controversial position in the Democrat Party, “It’s just — I don’t understand what they’re up to.”
