The DA, its donors and beneficiary groups over the last decade have had a major hand in shaping the institutions of the left, including by orienting some of its key organizations around Clinton, and by basing their strategy around the idea that minorities and women constituted a so-called \u201crising American electorate\u201d that could tip elections to Democrats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Democracy Alliance has fed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2014\/06\/inside-the-vast-liberal-conspiracy-108171\">upwards of $500 million<\/a> toward liberal activist groups and candidates since Soros co-founded the groujp in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>All members of DA are required to give $200,000\u00a0a year to recommended activist groups and pay annual dues of $30,000 to fund the DA staff and its meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Gara LaMarche, the president of the DA, told donors Sunday evening\u00a0that some reassessment is in order for the Democratic party. \u201c<strong>You don\u2019t lose an election you were supposed to win, with so much at stake, without making some big mistakes, in assumptions, strategy and tactics<\/strong>,\u201d LaMarche said, according to\u00a0prepared remarks he provided to <em>Politico<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>LaMarche would add that the reassessment \u201cmust take place without recrimination and finger-pointing, whatever frustration and anger some of us feel about our own allies in these efforts,\u201d and he said \u201cIt is a process we should not rush, even as we gear up to resist the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While focusing on preserving ObamaCare and other achievements of the Obama administration that are threatened by a Donald Trump presidency, the DA\u2019s agenda includes panels on rethinking polling and the left\u2019s approach to winning the working-class vote. The group will also stress funneling cash into\u00a0state legislative policy initiatives and races where Republicans took over last week.<\/p>\n<p>President-elect\u00a0Donald Trump has said his first 100 days\u00a0will be dedicated to restoring \u201chonesty, accountability and change to Washington\u201d\u00a0through the following seven steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress<\/li>\n<li>A hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health)<\/li>\n<li>A requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated<\/li>\n<li>A five year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service<\/li>\n<li>A lifetime ban on the White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government<\/li>\n<li>A complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American\u00a0elections<\/li>\n<li>Cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America\u2019s water and environmental infrastructure<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Billionaire George Soros immediately had fingers of blame pointing at him for the anti-Trump riots and protests that swept the nation since Nov. 9,\u00a0as <a href=\"http:\/\/planetfreewill.com\/2016\/11\/11\/looks-like-george-soros-funding-trump-protests-just-like-funded-ferguson-riots\/\">his group MoveOn.org has organized most of them<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The billionaire\u00a0committed\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/07\/george-soros-democratic-convention-226267\" target=\"_blank\">$25 million<\/a> to boosting the Clinton campaign and other Democratic candidates and causes in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-11-14\/soros-and-liberal-mega-donors-plot-war-donald-trump\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-11-14\/soros-and-liberal-mega-donors-plot-war-donald-trump<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=56629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56629\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=56629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=56629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=56629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
