The party that gave and sometimes delivered on hope for the US and indeed the world - FDR & Truman, John & Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson - has sank into an abyss of madness & degeneracy as we witness every day.

This is as good an example as any. I wonder has she set up a pretend Situation Room and has someone to carry round a pretend football.

Has-been Hillary
:National Review

Hillary is retired, but courtiers help her maintain the appearance of importance.

The funniest episode in the protective yet revealing new Hillary Clinton profile arrives when we learn that this sad, unemployed, 69-year-old lady is so desperate to keep her self-image alive that she still employs flunkies and retainers to treat her as though she actually were the president, or the secretary of state, or a president in waiting, or at very least the leader of the opposition.

Her longtime loyalists are so happy to bustle around her in the service of maintaining the illusion that, after she takes an hour away from it all to exercise, her communications director, Nick Merrill, breathlessly updates her on everything that’s happened in the political world in the last threescore ticks of the minute hand. Her profiler, Rebecca Traister of New York magazine, obviously a great admirer but one who declines to throw herself overboard from reality for the sake of giving Hillary more company bobbing about in the sea of fancy, writes that Clinton “listens to the barrage of updates, nodding like a person whose job requires her to be up-to-date on what’s happening, even though it does not.”

Ouch. Hillary Rodham Clinton isn’t merely in a state of denial. She has become Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. Politically speaking, she is dead, but she doesn’t know it. Her staffers are so many Haley Joel Osments — too kind (and too attached to their salaries) to tell her that her career is over. She doesn’t need briefings. She doesn’t need to do interviews. She doesn’t need to write the book she is writing (after so many indigestible volumes, why bother with one more?). She doesn’t need to stake out a politically nuanced position on James Comey’s firing or scramble to get out in front of the Resistance parade. She lost two exceedingly winnable presidential campaigns in Hindenburgian fashion. There is no demand for her to run again and there is nothing left for her except to receive whatever ceremonial honors and sinecures may come her way.

She has been handed her political retirement papers by the American people. She’s done.

The Democrats are neither sad, sorry or in decline. They won the popular vote in the last election and with the astonishingly poor work of TRump and Co, the Dems are looking at possibly getting majorities in both houses in 2018. And with the chance of Trump being impeached and he and some of his colleagues possibly being charged with criminal offences, the white house in 2020 is already in the hands of the Democrats.

your dont know much about politics, do you?

Why? He already has more scandals than the last 5 presidents combined and the smell of vastly more. He has been the least effective president ever in that he is still - 4 months into his term - without a single major legislative achievement. He still has most positions in his administration empty and now, almost no one who will take on any of the jobs.
