The leadership the Democrats need [View all]

Leadership is not conveying or acting in a way that the followers want. It is influencing the followers to do what needs to be done, such as a military commander convincing his troops to take a hill.

The following is from a recent Washington Post Ipsos poll:
Is the Republican Party in touch with the concerns of the American people?
in touch 37%
not InTouch 61%

Is the Democrat Party in touch?
in touch 30%
not in touch 65%

The party that can connect with the rest of society and convince voters that they are going to make a positive difference in their lives, can become the dominant party. That is what needs to be done.
