"Sirens Going Off": CNN Data Expert Says "Revolt" Within Dem Party Taking Place

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten warned of a "revolt within the Democrat Party," stating that there are likely "sirens going 
off" in Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) office in response to alarming new polling data.

"This, I think, is a revolt, a revolt that is going on within the Democrat Party right now, Democrats and their leaders," Enten 
said during a segment on "CNN News Central" on Thursday.

According to a Gallup poll released this month, only 39% of Democrats now trust their party's congressional leaders to 'do the 
right thing" on economic issues-a sharp drop from 80% in April 2024.

"Holy Toledo!" Enten declared regarding the new survey results. "That is the lowest number by far in Gallup polling, the lowest 
previous was just 60%, which is 21 points higher than this. Democrats hate, hate, hate, hate what their congressional leaders are 
doing in Washington right now on the key issue of the day right now, the economy."

Enten then turned his focus to Schumer, citing new Siena College data showing his favorability among New York Democrats has 
fallen sharply-from 73% in April 2024 to just 52% today.

"That is the lowest I could ever find and see on Sienna College on how Democrats in Chuck Schumer's home state view him. And keep 
in mind, if you're thinking about a primary challenge, it would be a few years away," he said, adding that Rep. Alexandria 
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has been rumored to be considering a primary against Schumer, currently holds a higher favorability 
rating.

Enten then said the numbers he is seeing are "unfathomable."

"I never thought I'd see the day in which just 52% of New York Democrats would view Chuck Schumer unfavorably. It's almost 
unfathomable," he said.

"This screams-, siren should be going off: "primary challenge, primary challenge, primary challenge!" When you're a Democrat in 
New York and these are your ratings, this is a big wake up call if you're Chuck Schumer," he said, noting that support for 
Schumer to remain Democrat leader in the Senate fell from 50 percent last year to 48 percent now.

A former pollster for former President Bill Clinton and former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said during an 
interview in late February that the party is "falling off a cliff" following President Donald Trump's resounding victory and GOP 
domination of Congress.

"Well, I've got some new polling coming out Monday that I just looked at. And frankly, the Democrat Party is falling off a 
cliff," Mark Penn told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

"The ratings, which were in the high 40s, are going to be like 35 percent, and I think the basic question, who is doing a better 
job as president, Biden or Trump? Trump is winning that with 57 percent," he added.

"I think you're seeing a retrospective assessment of Biden and the direction the Democrat Party was going; it really a lot more 
negative than it was on Election Day. And they're looking at the contrast on immigration, on economic policy, on some of the 
social policies, and boy, they're reevaluating and the Democrat Party, I have never seen anything like this," Penn continued.

"This is a record low for the Democrat Party in terms of favorability. It has fallen really, really way down. And I don't think 
there's any leadership right now that's going to be able to bring that back," said Penn.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
