The democrat party has swung so far to the left such that in contrast "my people" Eric Holder appears to be a moderate. Holder is no stranger to controversy:
Yet they're making Holder look good.
Pretty much all 2020 dems want to do away with ICE and destroy the country by decriminalizing illegal border crossing and eliminating borders.
Recently Holder said that that might not be a good idea:
Former Attorney General Eric Holder is defending the Obama administration against criticism from the left about its deportation efforts while warning Democratic presidential hopefuls that the U.S. needs borders.People need to remember how many illegal obama deported"The emphasis there was on people who had criminal records, people who posed a danger, a public safety risk," Holder, who served under former President Obama, said of the previous administration's policy in a CNN interview released Saturday.
"Democrats have to understand that ... borders mean something," he added.
Holder expressed disagreement with a proposal embraced by some Democratic presidential candidates to make illegally entering the U.S. a civil offense rather than a criminal offense.
"No, I don't think that's right," he said. "The law that is on the books has been there for about 100 years or so."
"It might send the wrong signal. But it would certainly take a tool away from the Justice Department that it might to use," Holder added.
Axios reported that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations were above 385,000 annually during fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011 and reached 409,849 in fiscal 2012. The numbers dropped in the later years of the Obama administration.And that's not all.
Holder has cautioned the left wing stampede to prosecuting former Presidents
“I think there is a potential cost to the nation by putting on trial a former president,” said former Attorney General Eric Holder in an interview with CNN political commentator David Axelrod.Indeed.Holder said that he was convinced that Trump would be prosecuted when leaving the office at the end of his term.
“We already have an indictment in the Southern District of New York where [former Trump attorney] Michael Cohen — relative to the payoffs, Michael Cohen’s already in jail with regard to his role there,” Holder explained.
“Individual-1 is the president,” said Holder, referring to a sobriquet used in court documents to indicate Trump’s name, “and it would seem to me that the next attorney general, the next president, is going to have to make a determination.”
When Axelrod asked about the potential effect of putting Trump on trial, Holder said that he thought “there is a potential cost to the nation by putting on trial a former president, and that ought to at least be a part of the calculus that goes into the determination that has to be made by the next attorney general.”
Barack Obama could perhaps be prosecuted for depraved indifference in the Parkland murders. His PROMISE Act is directly responsible for the death of Meadow Pollack and 16 others.

Holder has never been a “moderate”
He is a hard core radical but being careful to hide his true goal.
He wants to be on the Supreme Court.
it tells me holder isn’t as honest as the radicals in the party right now- he’s sneaky- devious, and conniving- He is iwlling to talk out both sides of his face depending on which way the wind blows- but make no mistake, he is every bit as radical as the loud mouths on the left that are running for president are right now
Correct. Zathras knows!
He’s learned to hold his fire. Beto and Tulsi should take note.
It means Holder is a has-been.
The dream lives....
Weiner/Holder 2020!
Congressman Anthony Weiner and Attorney General Eric Holder were meant to be together on the ticket.
They only differ by the size of the fig leaves over their extremism. They all want the same thing.
He could campaign as a Hillary without quite her death count.
He can find Des Moines on a map.
And Nausha.
We lose this election,he will be a Supreme Court Justice along with Clinton. That's game set match USA loses. The left always thinks and moves ahead. Our side is sluggish. There are some that say 2020 is a given for Trump and holding the Senate. That's naive. I also believe the House is going to get much worse.
It’s strategy versus tactics.
Holder is an extreme radical, but he understands patience and process. (Or as a lawyer, “abuse of process.”)
Holder may wind up being the Democrat NOMINEE in 2020.
In reality, the nominee is anyone’s guess, but the one group that can now be ruled out are the announced candidates, as they effectively eliminated themselves in the debates, pretty much all of them with the possible exception of Tulsi, but she’s not going anywhere - to good-looking to be supported by the Democrat base.
So then who? Is it Hillary, naked, riding her white stallion on to the Convention Floor to ‘rescue’ the party, or perhaps Kerry (again) or Gore (again), or someone new, like Manchin?
Like I said, anyone’s guess.
