The moderate Dems have been purged. It is now the Hugo Chavez party.

Somebody please tell the voters in Texas, Arkansas and Iowa about California’s new water rationing law.

And remind them that when you elect “liberals” you are voting against yourselves, and for out-of-control government.

The AP is now Comedy Central. The Democrats aren’t testing anything of the kind. The Crazy Democrats are forcing the Insane Democrats to the far left right over a cliff. They want people to know how much they hate Trump and years of drug addiction has them believing we hate Trump too. They want to punish The Insanes for screwing Comrade Bernie in 2016 and their heads will explode when the realize the Insanes who control the DNC just changed the rules so only a registered Democrat can get their party’s nomination. This move so far out is desperation period. It will hurt them in November.

That is the belief system. Alinsky wrote the tactical plan.

Yes, but they keep moving the Republicans left too.

That means voters now represented by a Republican will be asked to consider some or all of the mainstream Democratic priorities

Why do they have to consider communism? They can still vote conservative.

On health care, at least two of the Red to Blue hopefuls past their primaries call explicitly for a single-payer, government health insurance system, four more want a government-run public option, and several others generically call for expanded coverage under the Democrats’ 2010 health insurance overhaul

Not too bright given recent reports on social security going bankrupt. Herd to see how they attract younger voters with the message - thanks for paying into social security and medicare because you won't be eligible for either.

test what liberal messages the party can sell to the moderate and GOP-leaning voters

A tacit, if unintentional, admission that falsehoods are part and parcel of statism.

“We hate white people, we’re going to raise your taxes, MS 13 is the bomb, a man in a dress is too a woman, Israel sucks and don’t call it illegal immigration” are awesome messages to campaign on! Go for It dems! That will definitely win you the house

The real issue, here, is the future of the America achieved in the Revolution. What the Left now advocates is a virtual total rescission of what Washington achieved in the sacrifices of 1775 to 1781. We have to win this fight to preserve the noble heritage passed down through the generations, Anything less will be a disaster for all we hold dear!

HAHAHAHAHA! Gun control? Really? That's their winning message? Didn't work for Hillary!

And tax increases? Yeah, that's gonna play BIG in the mid-terms, after Americans are getting bonuses, pay increases and more take-home pay on account of Trump's tax cut!

Yes, who cares what they really believe in and will support... just test the messaging. If it wasn’t for double standards the dems wouldn’t have any standards at all.

Clinton on sexual misconduct: Norms have changed about what you can do to someone against their will.

We can use Bill's message... rape use to be ok but now it's not such a good idea... or dems can run on 'we still bully people but less than we used to bully people'....

It's great - pick it up and pass it along.

If our guys had their act together they would pay someone to make these hats ("Make Taxes Higher Again") and pass them out at Trump Rallies...

Oh, did you hear Bill Clinton's latest? It's blowing snowflakes out of the water - it's too long to put on a hat but maybe a bumper sticker:

Clinton on sexual misconduct:Norms have changed about what you can do to someone against their will.
