Democratic Party power-player Steve Phillips is behind the rise of four potential far-left governors who have already won their primaries.

The San Francisco attorney is a mega-wealthy self-identified student of “Marx, Mao, and Lenin” directing huge resources into socialist and communist-led groups, with the goal of putting his personal far-left proteges into governor’s mansions in Maryland, Georgia, Florida, and Arizona.

Phillips and his partners in the highly secretive group Democracy Alliance hope that by electing far-left governors into four currently Republican-led states, the drive to impeach President Donald Trump and destroy his “Make America Great Again” agenda will be accelerated.

He’s also something relatively new, an African-American Socialist - Communist, so we have little previous experience examining and commenting on the likes of him.

Oh, but we do. (cough) Obama (cough, cough)

The difference is this African-American Socialist - Communist doesn't try to hide his real feelings like other poseurs.
