What a stunning spectacle it was. During the two nights of Democratic debates on June 26 and 27, the U.S. public got an up-close look at a political party that has become increasingly radical and incoherent.
If this slate of 20 candidates is the best the Democrats can come up with, then it has even more problems than I thought it did.
Here’s a brief rundown of the litany of topics where these 20 candidates stand on issues:
Tax Increases: Repeal the Trump tax cuts and raise taxes on the middle class.
Open Borders: Cease all border enforcement and even take down the sections of the border wall that have already been constructed.
Abortion extremism: Candidates affirmed that they want no limits whatsoever on legal abortion, which means abortions into the third trimester.
Climate Change: Many think global warming is the biggest threat facing the world today and would attempt to implement the disastrous Green New Deal.
Obamacare 2.0: Take away private health care plans and force everyone in the country into a state-run health care system. Also, raise taxes on U.S. taxpayers in order to pay for health care coverage for millions of illegal immigrants.
Gun control: Bring back the “assault weapons ban.” One of the candidates, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) has made gun control his signature issue, boasting that he would ban all “assault weapons” and then pay citizens to hand them over.
Reparations: A massive new government program to transfer taxpayer money to the descendants of former slaves. Gender insanity: Candidate Julian Castro claimed he would protect the right of trans men to have abortions. No. 5 in that list above is the one that absolutely blew me away. NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie alerted the 10 candidates on the stage that this would be “a show-of-hands question”:

The media will portray all of these positions as sensible, mainstream, middle-of-the-road, traditional American positions. The Republicans, you see, are the extremists who endanger all of these traditional values.
A fair number of voters will believe it.
Great follow-up question, never asked.
Who's going to knock them up in the first place?
In the debate it showed how truly un-American they are.
Unless somebody does something about non-citizens voting, they will be deciding our elections.
It’s scary knowing we have tens of millions of brain dead Americans who think just like these elected RATS. The Democrats in Congress are acting even more clueless than their rank and file. Is that entire party programmed like a religious cult? The answer is of course yes! God help us if they ever get control of Congress and the presidency again.
The Democrats are probably confident that their top 5 or 6 candidates, if not the majority of them, would be able to defeat President Trump.
No, I’ve been seeing articles saying “Dems don’t REALLY support open borders and other extreme positions, they are just saying they do to win the primary!” Theres one in the Atlantic, and I’ve been seeing them around other outlets too. I guess the upshot is that they either have no integrity or else they have no brains!
SANDERS: I want 2 trillion dollars to forgive all student debt!
BIDEN: What good is that? I will pass legislation to make college free for everyone! We could tax the wealthy up to 5 million dollars to pay for it!
BUTTIGIEG: Five million?
WARREN: No! We need 30 trillion dollars to pay for Medicare for All!
HARRIS: What about housing? People shouldn't have to pay rent! It would only take 8 trillion dollars to give every non-rich person a house, a quarter acre, and include electricity, heating, and plumbing! Free Internet and cable, too!
BOOKER: And don't forget reparations for blacks! We should address that first! My staff has a 10 trillion dollar proposal...
HICKENLOOPER: What, are all you people crazy?
DE BLASIO: We have to free all the criminals in the prisons! And we can provide free drugs and needles! And condoms! And make abortion available on every city block, and women can get abortions up to sixty years after the birth of the fetus! The cost is in the trillions for all this, but it would be worth it!
CASTRO: We need to PAY to have Mexico, Sudan, and Somalia send ALL their citizens here to become Americans! It would only cost 40 trillion dollars!
GILLIBRAND: No! I say, if we spend 20 trillion dollars, we can ensure EVERY person has a well paying job!
INSLEE: We have to save the planet! We have to act now! It will only cost 93 trillion dollars to rebuild every building to be energy efficient!
O'ROURKE: Yeah! But I would set aside 120 trillion dollars to fight global warming, and I would ask the UN to run the effort in this country!
That post of yours was nausea inducing...
A huge advantage Republicans have over Democrats is that anything that creates feelings of patriotism increases the public’s support for Republicans. Democrats get nothing, zilch, nada, out of patriotism.
And the display of the flag of the United States tends to make the average American feel more patriotic, for as long as two weeks.
So every one of us should, at every opportunity, fly the flag leading up to the November 5 elections.
As an added bonus, more and more Democrats are getting a hate response from just seeing the flag. Many of them cannot control themselves and are lashing out against things like MAGA hats, Bibles, crucifixes, and especially our flag.
So do have a care. There are going to be more incidents such as Rand Paul getting tackled on his front yard by his rabid Democrat neighbor, and most of them won’t be against celebrities, but ordinary people sucker punched and sneak attacked by Democrats.
They are truly losing control over themselves.
Unicorns will knock them up. They live in a rainbow and skittles world, don’t you know?
Perfect.
Several raised hand for abolishing Health Insurance for ALL Americans.
I think they ALL raised their hands.
That is brilliant :)
