John Kasich threw out a line during Meet The Press that apparently required a response from a leading Democrat:
Now I wasn't familiar with Ronald Klain, so here's his quickie self-bio (also from twitter).
Klain left off several things from their playbook, but due to the 140 character limit, I'll both give him some deference and help him out. Omitted were...
• Gun control... ultimately no guns in hands of citizenry and the elimination of the 2nd amendment.
• Unfettered immigration
• Right to vote for anyone... and a later tweet made it clear that he wants the Federal Government to confer those voting rights
• Single-payer healthcare, with government making the decisions of what is allowed (trans-surgeries, abortion) and what isn't (see Charlie Gard, Terri Shiavo).
• Implement Climate Change policies universally.
• Raising taxes to confiscatory levels for the Middle Class and higher to pay for everything noted above
• Reducing the size and power of the US Military
• Reducing support for Israel, essentially leaving them to their own devices. The path they were on under Obama would have included sanctions... until Iran gets their bomb together to make that a moot point.
I could go further... elimination of private property, devastation of personal rights to religion, speech, private property, etc... use of police to enforce these policies, decriminalization of drug offenses, and more. But that wouldn't be said in public anyway.
So that's the Democrat platform in 2017, for those interested - from a guy who's in a position to know. In short, there are vast economic arguments to be made against it: this is a job-killing plan for fundamentally changing the country as we know it.
I don't think I even need to address Russia.
But enough from me... that's what he claims Hillary ran on in 2016. Even taking it at face value, it's a recipe for economic destruction.
They’re not going to win on those issues.
democrats want socialism/communism/ Marxism
Every democrat is a communist/marxist/socialist.
They call themselves a lot of names, democrat ,progressive , liberal , blah blah blah . But they are all just Marxists. Marxists are atheist demons, pure evil. Every media reporter is a democrat/Marxist.
The are a political cult. And their religion is marxism,atheism, statism.
Pure evil . There can be no compromise with these people . They want the USA to be Venezuela .
2 political cults are out to ruin the world Islam and Marxists. 2 idiots caused it all Karl Marx and Muhamad
Universal health care: Economically infeasible. Nations who have it won’t tell you who’s dying because of it.
$15/hr minimum wage: Debtor’s prison redux; if you can’t produce enough wealth you’re prohibited from earning anything.
Debt-free college: The more money made available to it, the more it (and non-covered related factors) will cost. BTW, as a prof I found 1/4 of students just didn’t do the work, no matter how much financial & economic aid was available.
Child care & paid family leave: Paid by whom? that money WILL balance out somehow. Better solution is reduce taxation so families can afford to by keeping their own money.
Fighting terrorists: Can’t do it with restrictive ROEs.
Resist Russia: Funny how the Left loves Russia (origin of their Bolshevik Communism) until convenient not to.
To wit, all be the last involve confiscating wealth from others - rather than letting all earn & spend as they see fit.
We keep wanting to believe that politics in the United States is some sort of noble contest between two political parties to select the most competent person for a government job.
That idea is outdated.
The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

Considering the hard-left leaning of today's democrat party, that's pretty much the goal.
In other words pure communism with a socialist facade. Think Venezuela.
Federal politicians exploit such voters by promising voters social spending programs, voters not understanding that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to establish the spending programs that they are trading their votes for.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
”Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich in tax appropriations laws, laws that politicians didn't have the constitutional authority to make.” —me
So misguided, low-information voters are unthinkingly helping to unconstitutional expand the already unconstitutionally big federal governments powers.
Consider that although Trump is accomplishing a LOT as president, it remains that since the uniparty Congress wants to get rid of him that his first two years in office are arguably just practice. That being said ...
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Remember in November 2018 !
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
“democrats want socialism/communism/ Marxism”
It has become obvious that Republicans want the same thing. They just say they don’t, but actions speak louder than words....if we are paying attention.
I’ll support gun control - my steady hands taking on any libs trying to take my - and my Deplorable family’s - guns. Raising taxes on the middle class? Excuse me, I know I’m a teen, but why not tax the people who want my money - the political class?
Job-killing plan? More like a nation-killing plan.
$15/hour? Free college? Who’ll pay for free college? Hey, Marxists, Ms Thatcher said it best about it - the trouble with LIBERALISM is that you’ll run out of other people’s money. See North Korea, Venezuela and other ‘workers paradise’.
