Can We Please Have Something Normal?

As is often the case, Tom Maguire speaks what many of us are thinking. This week, following the Democratic debates and a poll indicating that only 25% of Democrats want a “bold, new agenda” he tweeted:

“Per this poll, this is not a 'Time For A Change' election; It's a 'Can We Please Catch Our Breath And Have Something Like Normal For Five Minutes, Please, I'm Begging Now' election.

But Dems, transfixed by the Twitterati, aren't listening. Too bad.”

With him, as well, I share this favorite exchange of the last “debate”:

INSLEE: ...I've heard you say that we need a realistic plan. Here's what I believe...

Jeff Dunetz has his own favorites from the debates, including this one: Weird Lines From CNN's Democratic Debates That Nobody Is Covering -- The Lid.

Whenever I tuned into this week's Democratic debates I'd hear candidates say something weird like the candidate ...

It was astonishing that no one pointed out Elizabeth Warren said something proving she knew little about politics. She said, “I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for. I don’t get it!” Anybody who’s ever followed politics knows the reason.

I think the face of the Democratic party, The Squad, (how juvenile) and the crazy presidential candidates are turning off a majority of Democrats and independents. They will either sit this one out or vote independent or Republican.
If trump wins in a sweep, the down ticket will benefit.

The crazy left swing of the Democrats may drive them into being a minority party in almost every state and at almost every level of government. The cultural implications are huge.

‘The Squad’ is proof that millennials growing up getting a trophy for everything is NOT A GOOD IDEA.

Exactly why they pulled off the shooting - get their radical platform back to mainstream.

“normal democrat? Isn’t that an oxymoron?”

I would say that a normal democrat is rather like a normal crocodile, normal for its like but not something a normal human wants to get close to. The Grinch on a bad day is far more congenial than the normal democrat.
