Face it: the Democrats are wimps.<\/p>\n

They are the Arnold Stang\u2019s and Barney Fife\u2019s, the schlemiels<\/a> of modern politics.<\/p>\n

This helps explain why Democrats have failed to attract the votes of young men and inspire leadership in the process. So, how did the weak image of top Democrats drive them towards Trump?<\/p>\n

Part of this vapid image stems from the age of the top Democratic leaders, both male and female. But others have no passion, purpose,\u00a0 gravitas, or authority.<\/p>\n

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Corey Booker,<\/a> Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and many senators come to mind. They don\u2019t have Trump\u2019s flawed and sociopathic strong presence. Trump\u2019s criminal record of stealing, tax evasion, molestation, groping, evading prosecution, and stealing millions without a formal degree and gaming the system, appeals to many Trump\u2019s followers. This gangsta image makes Trump appear stronger and more criminal than Biden and Harris.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Trump\u2019s thug lifestyle is the definition of masculinity. No one on the Dem side even comes close to being a thug.<\/p>\n

Being a successful politician involves many factors: personality, genetics, intelligence, body type, heritage, family connections, money, the ability to raise money, survivor bias, salesmanship, and an indefinable star quality that makes them stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in politics and corporate leadership, sociopaths find their way to the top either through bullying, playing dirty tricks on their opponents, or eliminating their enemies. Trump does all of these things in a single day. His ability to talk forcefully, even if ignorant and uninformed, precedes what he says.\u00a0 It\u2019s how he says it.<\/p>\n

Democrats do not reward nonsense talk or outright lies. MAGA followers don\u2019t even consider it. Democrats take the high road when it comes to opposing Republicans. Who can forget the wimpy and silly slogan, \u201cWhen they go low, we go high,\u201d uttered by Michelle Obama?<\/p>\n

A Partial List of Democrat Wimpiness<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Barack Obama Ignores His Reality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Barack Obama showed he was wildly out of touch when he ignored the message from a Tea Party meeting and others in 2009 that Republicans would block all legislation proposed by Obama.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/a>, at \u201ca private dinner of House Republicans on inauguration day in 2009, in which they plotted a campaign of obstruction against newly installed president Barack Obama<\/a>.\u00a0 During a lengthy discussion, the senior GOP members devised a plan to repeatedly block Obama over the coming four years to ensure he would not be re-elected.\u201d The session lasted four hours, and during the meeting, the Republicans hatched a plan to take over the Senate and the House.<\/p>\n

In return, Obama said he was willing to work with Republicans even when they said he was persona non grata on Capitol Hill.\u00a0 This is just one case that shows Dems never understood their enemy.<\/p>\n

At that time, Republican\u00a0John Boehner<\/a>, the soon-to-be-elected Republican Speaker of the House, said his plans for Obama\u2019s agenda: \u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything\u2014and I mean everything we can do\u2014to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader\u00a0Mitch McConnell<\/a> summed up his plan to National Journal: \u201cThe most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama insisted on meeting with Republicans to pass his programs, even when they publicly shunned him. When David Axelrod was informed of this meeting, he \u201ccondemned the revelation as \u2018sad, appalling but not terribly surprising,’\u201d according to the Guardian. \u201cSad and appalling? That\u2019s the best they could say? Obama and Axelrod never knew their enemy.<\/p>\n

Also, when it came to prosecuting white-collar criminals, Obama again showed his corporate preferences.<\/p>\n

What would the Democratic Party look like today if the Obama administration, including his corporate Attorney General Eric Holder, had prosecuted the senior executives of the nation\u2019s largest financial firms who caused the 2008 recession?<\/p>\n
