Democrats hit an all-time low (for now); where should they go from there? And to whom? [1]

Yesterday's ⁠'Meet the Press' ⁠was DE-pressing for "D" party folks. When Steve Kornacki rolled out the latest NBC News poll, it showed the party with a meager 27% approval rating. It's a three-decades long low, and after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rallied enough Democrat Senate votes to pass a continuing resolution to keep the federal government (somewhat) churning, there's every likelihood a poll number like that could go lower.

Lower than an all-time low.

If ever a term defined the Democratic Party, that's it.

Joining me today to discuss where the party can/should/might go from there, local liberal political consultant Andrew Heaton. The former Warnock campaign aide and I discuss various liberal politicians and their various means to message and resist (or iwhatever you call what Schumer did). Is there a leader among the current crop?

Plus, hear the ⁠one name⁠ I'm REALLY high on who isn't even in office right now (but Trump wasn't in 2015 either) but who seems to have a lot of the skills and attributes that could resurrect the Democratic Party - even though he's been quite a critic of it the last two-plus decades.
