Retiring Tennessee Democrat Rep. Jim Cooper warned his colleagues that the end of the Democratic party could be right around the corner.
Cooper, who announced his retirement late last month, said that the Democrats’ reign may be coming to an end because the elected officials are self-righteous and only make rules others have to follow, like mask mandates and keeping public schools closed.
“As usual, Democrats are not alert to future dangers. The biggest danger we face in an off-year election after we won the White House is the 100-year trend toward the other party. Redistricting is small potatoes compared to that historical trend,” Cooper told local newspaper the Nashville Scene.
“Our party needs to improve its management capabilities. We do not anticipate and organize and plan.”
“We’re addicted to telling other people what to think. You can’t really win many elections if you’re that self-righteous,” he later added. “It’s important to be in communication with your constituents, not to be their boss. You’re their representative. We’ve got to get this formula right. The Democratic Party in Tennessee is basically facing extinction. We’ve been on a long downhill slide for a long time.”
Cooper’s warning comes at a time when the Democratic party is plagued by an embarrassing President Joe Biden who has seen his average approval rating drop below 40% for the first time ever.
“For the first time since taking office, Biden’s approval rating — based on an accumulation of polling data — fell below 40%,” Fox News reported. “A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%.”
Biden’s approval rating certainly won’t do the party any favors, never mind the fact that they are already at a disadvantage heading into midterms given the fact that, historically, the party that holds the White House tends to lose seats in Congress.
In Tennessee, former Trump administration official Morgan Ortagus is widely seen as the favorite to win the election and replace Cooper in his district after she received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump endorsed her.
“In President Trump’s Administration I fought for conservative policies that put America first, but now, we must fight harder than we ever have before to push back against the Democrats’ extremism,” Ortagus said in a statement. “We built the wall, created a strong economy, stood up to our adversaries, and promoted freedom at home and abroad, but the Biden Administration and their radical Democrat allies in Congress are dead-set on undoing that good work. As a U.S. Navy Reserve Officer, I am answering the call to service, and I will never back down from fighting for my country and the good people of Tennessee to stand for American greatness. I’m grateful to have President Trump’s support, and I look forward to earning your vote and standing with you to protect our conservative values.”
Trump’s said in his endorsement of Ortagus that he “couldn’t be happier because she’s an absolute warrior for America First and MAGA!”
“Morgan was fantastic in her role working with Secretary Mike Pompeo at the U.S. State Department and understands the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran and others, and will be tough, not just roll over like the Democrats and RINOs,” Trump added.
“She serves in the U.S. Navy Reserves and will fight for our Military. She won’t bow to the Woke Mob or the Leftist LameStream Media.”

Was hopeing impeachment and jail, Of course communist China joe mocks personal freedom, he also hates the fact he will be impeached from his office.The time for impeacment is nearing, all those responsible for allowing this to continue should end of in jail. Weak indecision in our Country leadership has lead to the turmoil that now exist on the world stage. The major power brokers in Russia and China now see the United States void of leadership with Biden and his band of misfits at the helm, they are correct in their thinking. Here we have a family who has taken money from these adversaries and promised what in return? They have compromised the world peace structure for personal gain. Think, Biden is hoping for war, to avoid resolving issues they created, which are now above his capability to resolve. He has surrounded his office with like minded in affected creatures who lack the brains and ability to compete on the world stage. These people have lied to Congress, broken’s established laws, spent money with out the approval of Congress, left lives and material on the battlefields which was not theirs to waste, and today have avoided any responsibility for their actions, but guess what 2022 midterms are just around the corner and the American people will have they say, impeachment and jail will be in the cards for their abuse of power and neglect to honor their oaths.
Well when you allow communist democrats to take your party, it will no longer exist. Round up all communist democrat cult party members and exile them to Afghanistan!
THANK GOD !! Now…if we can rid ourselves of all the rest of these Democrats !!!
Thank you, Dem. Rep. Jim Cooper for telling me what I have been feeling for a while now. I don’t blame you for retiring I wouldn’t want to be part of what these EVIL people are involved in either.
Democrats see themselves as the new Nazi party and Obama the new Adolph Hitler. They believe if they say to do it, you are bound to do it or face serious repercussions. They are a dictatorship and the only think in their way is the Constitution and Bill of Rights, which are not going survive muck longer.
Forty percent??? =p
Try HALF that!
Everyone involved in the FRAUD of 2020/1 as well as 2016 & 2012 NEED to be EXILED from the country they HATE as much as they do.
They have been evolving into this very evil party since the end of the 1960s. However, since Odumbo took office, they’ve really ramped up to the Marxist party they’ve. Become. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Unfortunately, I think this is likely a pipe dream for conservatives. The left is very adept at changing it’s message and taking off on a new tact and the public has very little ability to remember what has happened last month much less years and decades in the past. For instance, the same party that instituted segregation, Jim Crowe and other racist policies is now projecting itself as the protector of minorities and the enemy of those racist republicans – the party founded to end slavery and which has done the most to end the racist policies of the Democrats.
Rep. Jim Cooper , The END of the Democratic Socialist/Communist Party is closer to just around the Corner. It’s just a mirror 9 Months away. And there’s a Good chance that We The People will get rid of the PARASITE Rhino’s and Beijing Joey and his FAKE Administration.
Rational and sane Americans who love this country are sick and tired of these clowns. Can’t wait to flush AOC, Maxine Waters and the rest of the woke mob to save this country from their hatred of our Founding Fathers’ values.
And take the communist-backed, bought-and-sold mainstream media as well. They have betrayed their supposed purpose in keeping Americans truthfully informed; they are merely paid lairs that practice deception every day.
