How Far Left Will the Democrats Go in November?
PJ Media ^ | 20 May, 2018 | Rick Moran

There's a runoff election in Texas's 7th Congressional District on Tuesday that may give a strong indication of just how far left Democratic candidates will run in November.

The race pits the national Democrats' favorite attorney Lizzie Pannill Fletcher against a Bernie Sanders acolyte, activist Laura Moser.

What makes the race interesting is that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) tried to sabotage Moser's candidacy by dumping a thick file of opposition research on the press just prior to the March 6 primary.

The unusual move of the national campaign committee to try and undercut one of their own candidates appeared to backfire. Not only did the move enrage national liberals, but local activists were energized so that Moser was able to finish second and force a runoff with Fletcher.

The differences between the two candidates are more a matter of style than substance. This was made evident during a televised debate where the moderator struggled to define any differences between the two candidates.

Well. They see that Maduro was re-elected. So the obvious conclusion for the Democrat Party is that voters want Communism.

Would the leftists change our country’s name to North Venezuela?

From what I read, the Democrats are going to run against crime and corruption among Republicans.

You can’t make this stuff up, folks!

If Pol Pot and Mao and Castro had a 3-way gay marriage baby together, this may be farther left than that baby.

They’re desperately trying to keep this Russia collusion thing going, even today, after all that has transpired today. Their plan was to annihilate republicans in November, by keeping Trump guilty guilty guilty, but still under investigation. But never fear, if this one blows up in their face, they’ll haul out some bimbo who has something horrible on Trump, and republicans are supposed to suffer guilt by association. That blue wave, is turning green, as democrats are wetting themselves all over the place.

“Moser, on the other hand, brashly proclaims her support for redistributive policies, national health care, and undying hatred of Donald Trump. So the question for national Democrats is: can a candidate like Moser actually attract enough support from local activists to beat an entrenched GOP incumbent, John Culberson, in November?”


The question for the Leftist is clear.

Can they dare to be honest? Their base hates the obvious answer: Progressive only get elected by lying.

In other words, money should be taken from people who work hard and given to lazy or drug addicts, but after the liberals take their cut. Nice plan libs, for you!

At this rate, Castro, Mao and Khrushchev look like right-wingers in comparison!

I can tell you that for some elements in the party
it can’t be far enough.

Hopefully they’ll go so far left, they’ll drown en masse off the California coast.

“From what I read, the Democrats are going to run against crime and corruption among Republicans.”

i read that too ... their platform is still nothing more than “resist”, but with a few extra pretty words to obscure that that is the real meaning ... not a word about financial and physical security, jobs, wages, etc. You know, the things that REALLY matter to most voters ...
