How intent are Democratic voters on ousting President Trump? A fresh poll reveals that nearly 58% of them would prefer a 2020 nominee they disagree with on most issues, as long as they believe he or she would likely defeat Trump, with just 34% backing a contender they tend to agree with most of the time but who appears likely to lose. That might read like typical voter concerns about electability.But Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth poll, said his national survey of registered Democrats exposed a pragmatism among rank-and-file voters on the Left that is the product of an unusually intense desire to beat the incumbent president of the opposing party. Historically, he said, a primary voter’s desire for electability, and ideological compatibility, have been more closely aligned.

So what the Democrats are saying is that they will wage a war on women and homosexuals.
Good to see them get stuck with old “electable” song and dance. Let them vote for their Doles, McCains, and Romneys.
So, if they want a candidate they disagree with, then they should vote for Trump.
This is the most nonsensical bosh I’ve read in quite a while.
Hate unites them and defines them. It’s a powerful thing.
Yes , but it will eat them up inside.
Sure.
They want to beat Trump, whatever the cost.
This implies that Democrat far-Leftists may back a “moderate” over a hard-lefty, if they think the moderate has a better chance of actually beating Trump.
A lot of us were thinking that the hard Left would have been willing to destroy the Dems in 2020, if in the process they could stage a complete takeover. This may not be the case.
Then it’s over.
They’ve already lost.
38 % is huge.
As long as they are bewitched, bothered and bewildered, it matters not one iota to me what their daily or hourly peeve is.
Tagline: Apoplectic is where we want them
Campaigning against a candidate is a losing strategy. Please lose in 2020.
Who is, truly, a moderate Democrat in political office, today, and who is, truly, a conservative Democrat in political office, today?
I’m sure they’ll be united when the time comes, because the stakes are too high. We need to be united too.
I agree the dems will go for a moderate. Biden?
Nobody’s going to run to the right of Trump in that party. Socialists don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of beating Trump, but that’s all the Dems have.
The last semi-respectable person was purged from the Rat Party 20 years ago.How can there be anything remotely resembling serious disagreements among the 45 creatures seeking the nomination?
Democrats: A winning strategy is always to go with a soggy loaf of bread.
Yay Biden! You suck the least! The average clown on the clown car!
That will get the University and perverts out, but doesn’t exactly motivate the black vote. I cannot imagine blacks in Georgia, Florida or North Carolina (all key states) doing serious GOTV for Buttigieg, Bernie or Beto. They might turn out a little for Biden because he was Obama’s lieutenant, but they won’t be gassed over it.
We have a new Hitler that can beat Trump.......Jewish Democrats say yea, I’ll vote for him (my SIL).
Ya know, it will be awful to see and experience, but I’ve reached the point where I say, bring it on, let’s rumble. If we are going down the crapper, and worse, becoming slaves, then let’s have the confrontation now, not gradually.
Neither exists
