Donald Trump ran on the promise of changing the American Government and Systems …
He HAS been true to promise….
Now?
SOME Democratic voters ARE looking for the exact Same thing….
Changing Donald Trump & Co.’s government….
This seems to be spelling trouble for some Democrats who are holding office durning the Trump actions….
The Democratic Party will have choices to make ….
With President Trump’s second term in full swing and the midterm election four months away, a new kind of Democratic candidate is ascendant: the outsider vowing to overhaul the system.
The rise of these candidates shows a mood shift, many in the party say, from the midterms in Mr. Trump’s first term. Eight years ago, Democrats won the House after elevating scores of candidates calling for good government and incremental health care improvements. This time, many Democratic voters are making clear their hunger for systemic change — charting a course in the first half of the primary season that could point toward a different type of general election in the fall.
The party, which has often appeared rudderless since Mr. Trump’s return, is testing in real time whether it can go further in key races by running populist progressives who energize the base, or by choosing more traditional, centrist candidates.

In May, a New York Times/Siena poll found that more than half of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents were frustrated with the party. And more than 80 percent of the party’s supporters said the political and economic system needed to be torn down entirely or overhauled in a major way.
But the party is fractured over who should lead the rebuilding — and how far-reaching it should be….
Anti-incumbent mood sweeping country in troubling sign for GOP majorities…
A sour, anti-incumbent mood is sweeping across the nation on its 250th anniversary in what political analysts say is an especially troubling sign for Republican control of the House and Senate, given President Trump’s slumping approval rating.
Rising voter anger with the status quo has hit both parties, with eight House incumbents — five Democrats and three Republicans — losing primary races this year in addition to two GOP Senate incumbents, Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.) and John Cornyn (Texas)…
