Here’s a radical concept for Mr. Schmuhl to consider: Go back to embracing the values the Democrat Party stood for as recently as two generations ago: America first, God & Country, etc., rather than depending on an amalgamation of misfits challenging, even berating as obsolete, the sensibilities of hard-working Americans in an unabashed attempt to seize power and money for global elitists and domestic career political parasites like the Obamas, Schumers, Pelosis, Bidens, Clintons, et al.
Does Mr. Schmuhl really think, does any contemporary Democrat really think, that a 1955 Democrat, a Union member with a not-unfounded suspicion of some big business practices, a Democrat who probably had guns for hunting and self-defense and would have been be appalled at the idea of killing babies in the womb and living in a culture spending an entire month “celebrating” a common sin as wonderful, would feel at home in today’s Democrat party?
No, that’s today’s Retrumplican Party
I’m so glad Indiana got Mike Schmuhl! Hopefully he bring the State out the the GOP supermajority that’s good for absolutely nothing.

Dear IBJ, you really should think of adding an editing feature to your comment section.
The editing feature possibility is one thing on which we can agree, Wesley. I suspect they don’t allow it because they don’t want posters to have the ability to change something a subsequent poster has criticized, thus making the subsequent poster look stupid for having misquoted the OP, since the OP later changed his/her/its remarks.
BTW, a good way of checking one’s writing is to read it ALOUD before posting. Sometimes you pick up errors when you read something aloud that your mind would silently read as correct, even though it isn’t. (Had I done that, I wouldn’t have that extra word “be” in front of the word appalled!)
Bob, reading this aloud catches errors, but it doesn’t really help when you’re posting nonsense.
Your solution for Democrats is to be Republicans of the 1980’s. Even that only plays in Indianapolis (where the Marion County GOP is as incompetent as the Indiana Democratic Party) and the surrounding suburbs thanks to the radicalization of the GOP.
But, worry not. Indiana Republicans will, I am sure, unveil maps for the next decade of elections that ensure that they will remain in power. Those suburbs will vote into a void as they will be in districts drawn to ensure that they are outnumbered. So Republicans will continue electing such talents like a Mike Braun (who hasn’t screwed up a TV interview yet), Jim Banks, Greg Pence, Tennessee Trey Hollingsworth, Jack Sandlin, Curt Nisly, or John Jacob.
Besides, all the young people who would tilt the state towards Democrats? They don’t stay in Indiana, they just leave. They can’t get into our universities thanks to an Indiana GOP that refuses to increase higher education spending, thereby encouraging them to take more out-of-state students instead of educating our best and brightest.
We spend all that money to educate kids from K-12, they encourage them to move away and take their talents elsewhere. Little wonder that Indiana is a state that is dying and bleeding population from everywhere except Indianapolis and the suburbs.
Tell me what Indiana Republicans have to offer for the future. More tax cuts that do nothing to attract businesses? More spending for religious schools? More culture war nonsense from Todd Rokita?
Indiana is a state that works … in distribution centers, working two jobs in an ever-more-difficult effort to make ends meet. Little wonder people get abortions, they can’t afford to raise kids.
If Indianapolis is so awful, why do people around the state move to the Indianapolis area? When will the state of Indiana figure out they should copy what Indianapolis does, as opposed to telling Indianapolis what not to do?
Excited to have good, young leadership in the Indiana Democratic Party. If more Hoosiers actually looked at which party was actually delivering in areas in which our state falls behind nationally (education, environment, health and wellness, etc), Jennifer McCormick won’t be the only Indiana Republican to switch parties.
Oh, Dana; and what have the Democrats done for Indiana in the areas you mention? You say they are “delivering.” What have they delivered…other than promises that if they are just given more money, they will “fix” anything and everything? They have an iron grip on Indianapolis government, so how has the city benefited from Dem Boss Hogsett and his minions? Yes, they’ve “delivered” an astounding murder rate, if nothing else.
And Bob, when Indianapolis voters had the chance to punish Hogsett for that murder rate in 2019 and elect Jim Merritt, they … instead not only re-elected Hogsett, they voted most all of the Republicans off the City County Council.
Chuck Brewer did better in 2015 than Jim Merritt did in 2019. Merritt was every bit as incompetent and useless as a candidate as Woody Myers was in the Indiana governors race and he was an anchor on the ballot.
Please, go on about how awful the Democrats are. They’re guilty of some of it, I’m sure. But the Indiana Republican Party and the Marion County GOP need to figure out how to appeal to voters who don’t get all their news from Fox and aren’t all angry at the latest irrelevant manufactured crisis designed to keep them voting Republican so the rich donors get their tax cuts.
The Indiana GOP makes it easy for Democrats in Marion County when they don’t have ideas, they just want to tell Indianapolis what NOT to do from the Statehouse. Don’t protect renters from slumlords, don’t build that bus line down Washington Street. Local control is only for Republicans, according to the Indiana GOP. When it comes to a city run by Democrats, Republicans at the statehouse believe in Big Government and overriding the will of voters.
Indianapolis as a city would be better if it had two parties offering real ideas.
Bob P, at least Hogsett is actually rebuilding our aging infrastructure unlike Ballard, who squandered millions just putting a pretty surface coat on the roads, which subsequently crumbled after he left office. And the murder rate? Check the stats. Violent crime is up across the country. But, I’m sure you wouldn’t have any problem with sensible gun regulation reform now would you?
Rebuilding the Indianapolis infrastructure? That’s laughable. He hasn’t even rebuilt downtown after his riots. (Which were not peaceful, cost millions in losses. and sadly several deaths.
