Carlson: Dems in disarray, too

Too many of the too few publicly professing Democrats in Idaho are taking perverse pleasure in the consternation that the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump is causing the regular Republican party across the nation. Like these Republican regulars, they do not believe Trump has a chance in hell of being the Republican nominee—he’s too much of a loose cannon, has no guiding philosophy and no principles; he’s a narcissistic ego-maniac who will eventually be reigned in, circumscribed and neutered. So goes the conventional wisdom. In the meantime these partisans take pleasure in every unorthodox thing Trump says, recognizing that it will make things difficult for whoever wins the nomination. ... To use a Biblical image, this is the classic case of one party seeing the speck of wood in the other’s eye not recognizing the log in their own. The ground truth is that in Idaho and in the nation the Democratic Party is in as much disarray as the Republicans/Chris Carlson, Carlson Chronicles. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with columnist Chris Carlson that the national Democratic Party is in as much disarray as the Republican Party?
