Jim Cooper (TN) warned during an interview with a local newspaper this week that the Democrat Party in his state is facing extinction because Democrats are self-righteous and tell other people what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper, 67, announced late last month that he was retiring after his district was redrawn during redistricting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cAs 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,\u201d Cooper told the Nashville Scene. \u201cOur party needs to improve its management capabilities. We do not anticipate and organize and plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re addicted to telling other people what to think. You can\u2019t really win many elections if you\u2019re that self-righteous,\u201d he later added. \u201cIt\u2019s important to be in communication with your constituents, not to be their boss. You\u2019re their representative. We\u2019ve got to get this formula right. The Democratic Party in Tennessee is basically facing extinction. We\u2019ve been on a long downhill slide for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
