Politico: ““Gone are the days when we are the party of bureaucracy, multi-year studies, panels and college debate club rules,” Moore said in a speech before party insiders at the South Carolina Democrats Blue Palmetto Dinner. “We must be the party of action.”
South Carolina has a track record of vaulting Democratic primary winners to the White House, and Moore’s premium speaking slot before the state’s well-connected party leaders does little to tamp down speculation he’s kicking the tires on an upcoming presidential bid.
In a state where Donald Trump cruised to an 18-point victory nearly seven months ago, Moore said Democrats must also take cues from an unlikely instructor: the president himself.
“Urgency is the instrument of change. And do you know who understands that really well? Donald Trump,” Moore said. “I want to be clear: We can — and we must — condemn Donald Trump’s reckless actions. But we would also be foolish not to learn from his impatience.””
