Politico wants Dems to create 21-person ‘shadow Cabinet’ to respond to Trump. Sounds like a coup to me.

It has been nearly seven months since the Democrats were forced to watch President Donald Trump win the election and they keep proving they have learned absolutely nothing.

One might think that such a resounding loss would force the party to engage in some soul-searching and present an opportunity to bring their members up to speed on how to appeal to the average American voter. Instead, the Democrats have made what feels like every wrong choice since November 5, continuing to set themselves further behind their Republican counterparts.

For example, the “anti-Trump fan fiction” from Politico detailing a “shadow cabinet” that can “refresh” the party’s brand and help it take back power.

The anti-Trump fan-fiction is getting out of hand.

The media wants Democrats to create a “shadow Cabinet” to respond to Trump and they’re floating Mary Barra for Energy, Jon Stewart for VA, Gisele Fetterman for DHS, Ben Stein for SBA, and Samantha Power for State.

In the pretend world that Politico is pitching, these 21 “heavy hitters” would join forces to take on Trump’s agenda while saving the Democrat Party from itself.

• Shadow Secretary of State: Samantha Power
• Shadow Secretary of the Treasury: Lina Kahn
• Shadow Secretary of Defense: General Charles Q. Brown Jr.
• Shadow Attorney General: Letitia James
• Shadow Secretary of the Interior: Jon Tester
• Shadow Secretary of Agriculture: John Boyd Jr.
• Shadow Secretary of Commerce: Mark Cuban
• Shadow Secretary of Labor: Bobby Olvera Jr.
• Shadow Secretary of Health and Human Services: Governor Josh Green, M.D.
• Shadow Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Jeff Speck
• Shadow Secretary of Transportation Freddie O’Connell
• Shadow Secretary of Energy: Mary Barra
• Shadow Secretary of Education: Katie Hobbs
• Shadow Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Jon Stewart
• Shadow Secretary of Homeland Security: Gisele Fetterman
• Shadow Environmental Protection Agency Administrator: Bill Nye
• Shadow Office of Management and Budget Director: Governor Laura Kelly
• Shadow Director of National Intelligence: Michael Collins
• Shadow Director of the Central Intelligence Agency: Abigail Spanberger
• Shadow United States Trade Representative: Ben Stein
• Shadow Administrator of the Small Business Administration: Nikki Glaser

If this sounds like a positively absurd lineup, you’re not alone.

Dems new definition for a coup.

The majority voted for Trump’s agenda.
Are democrats trying to thwart the American people?
If Republicans suggested this they’d be screaming about threats to democracy and fascism.
But it’s (D)ifferent when they do it?
This is why we rejected them.
They’re just greedy frauds.

Well, they’re used to shadow-government. They had a shadow-president for 4 years, run by a shadow staff
