Memo to the Democrats who claim their presidential candidates are moving too far to the left to beat Donald Trump: Stop worrying and get to work.
Before and after each of the last two sets of Democratic debates, I read countless opinion pieces and heard numerous pundits arguing that Democrats are moving too far left and handing Trump re-election on a golden platter. In an unprecedented Democratic nominating process, in which a whopping 24 candidates are competing to take on Trump, it’s only natural that they are looking for ways to separate themselves from the pack. Most of them have long records of service and got involved in politics because they care about a core set of issues—so it’s not shocking that they are going to use the campaign to talk about those issues.

Dem candidates could go farther left than Stalin and many dem voters and pundits would still support them.
They don’t care.
The media drove a wedge right through the populace with their inflammatory hysterics, and they keep pushing the wedge in, dividing people farther. They have gone to the point that they are committed to supporting outrageous and unsupportable fantasy and making a mockery of themselves to those who have not taken the kook-aid.
They can’t just triangulate back to the center, but I think we should be ready for it. Everything that’s being done and said now needs to be extensively catalogued.
Most, if not all, entered politics because it is an easy gig, which if played craftily, will guarantee a fat paycheck on a regular schedule. And if one is willing to sell one’s vote(s), can take one from a pauper to a multi-millionaire in two terms. After that, there’s no limit. Examples are rife. That THIS crop consider themselves POTUS worthy, is a knee-slapping guffaw for the ages.
There is a fortune to made when running for the presidential office. These nut cases who donate huge sums, some on the table, some under the table, and the use of the monies becomes extravagant, and paper trails disappear. All that with trips to the Swiss banks and off-shore deposits and they end up quite well!!!
Unfortunately, the core of their issues is Socialistic. True Americans don’t want anything to do with that policy.
