Let's Talk about the Democrats' Lack of Statesmanship and Leadership

“Michelle (Obama) always says – I love her; she and my wife are like, really tight, which always scares me and Barack – but Michelle always says, ‘When they go low, we go high’” Holder said.

“No!” he stated. “When they go low, we kick ’me!”

The thought had the whole crowd of mostly young activists whooping and cheering in excitement, in anger, even in… anticipation.

“That’s what this new Democratic Party is all about!” Holder said. “We’re going to fight for the ideals of the Democratic Party.” ¹

Many of you who would read into this the presence of something bad - would say he's gotten himself a whole new bad attitude.  Many would even say he's been influenced by Hillary Clinton who said that her party shouldn't be civil with the Republicans.

I see the presence of that bad attitude as the end result of the lack of something they need with which to prove to us, the American people that they should be taken seriously by us as potential national leaders.

What now would you say that this something is?

I say it's statesmanship.

Today's generation of Democrats lack it and lack it critically.

Why does statesmanship matter so much that I brought it up to use it as the standard by which I judge the Democrats as unworthy to be taken seriously by the American people as potential national leaders?

Let's see why statesmanship matters so much as the standard by which to judge the worthiness of a wannabe leader.  To do that, we start by defining the term "statesmanship":

_{"The quality of being a statesman (= an experienced politician, especially one who is respected for making good judgments) or of being like a statesman:}

_{The president displayed courage, vision and statesmanship in dealing with the crisis.}

_{The candidate has an aura of dignity and statesmanship that appealed to Americans throughout the North."} ²

Tell me, fellow Americans and persons of other nations, what aura of dignity, what presence of good judgment do you find in someone who exhorts follows to act like gutter rats or stampeding horses?  I found a list of about major qualities that are found in a statesmanship, as opposed to the gutter rat variety of cheap politician you find among the leftist democrats of today.  

Please visit the website below for a full review of such qualities such as “bedrock of principles, a moral compass, a vision, and the ability to build a consensus to act on that vision.” ³ The below-cited article goes in depth in discussing what properties such four qualities consist of:

I don't know about you but when I see a clip of Eric Holder or Hillary Rodham Clinton, or Congresswoman Maxine Waters puking so much verbal excrement, I see, and more important than see, I recognize, I have the sense of smell to recognize immediately, that what's going on, who I see speaking is the opposite of statesmen or stateswomen.   

Rather I see rabble-rousers, vulgar gutter level creatures prodding other gutter level creatures to do wrong and reinterpret it as good.
