FULL TITLE: Michael Moore: Let’s Hope ‘The Squad’ Is the Face of the Democratic Party ‘Because That’s How We’re Going to Win’
Friday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said he was all for Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) being the face of the Democratic Party, a suggestion President Donald Trump has made in recent weeks.
The foursome known as “The Squad” representing the Democrats’ brand is how they win according to Moore.
“Let’s hope that Alexandria and Rashida and Ilhan and Congresswoman Pressley are the face because that’s how we’re going to win,” Moore said to host Brian Williams. “We’re going to win with people who believe that climate change is real. We’re going to win by getting behind people who want to raise the minimum wage, who are going to fight for all these things that the American public wants. That’s ‘The Squad.’ They’re the force out there.”
Moore offered a lengthy explanation about of history repeating itself in an effort to bolster that case.
“Well, first of all, Michigan has a long history, as does Wisconsin and Minnesota, the upper Midwest, of what you would call socialism or Democratic socialism or farm labor Democratic Party. We’ve never trusted the banks or the large corporations. General Motors was founded in Flint, Michigan, in 1908. A year of General Motors trying to turn this into a company town, people were so upset at it, in the next election. Flint elected a socialist mayor to remove the pro-G.M. mayor when the corporation first began. So that’s who we are. And the 13th district that Rashida Tlaib represents also has a strong history of — sadly right now it’s the third poorest congressional district in the country.”

OMAR AND TLAIB SHOULD BE DENIED ACCESS TO WALMART.............
Their style may be good for primaries, but not the general election, yet. Obama ( or his handlers) understood that. These wretched creatures do not.
I wonder how long it’s been since he’s seen his willy without the aid of a hand mirror? :P
You’re right Moore is one of the biggest a-holes in the country but he is usually realistic about elections. If he is saying these radicals are the key to victory I suspect he has other motives.
“Oh? Since when has going far left been a winning strategy for the Dems? Even Obama had to fake being a moderate.”
Um... since if they continue the hard left turn they will alienate many dems on the roles and so... keep it up.
It doesn’t look like Fatboy is able to make the connection between the districts history of socialism and it being the 3rd poorest in the nation
Can you imagine a debate between Trump and AOC?
Unlikely, but it sure would be fun!
If they actually do win that way, there will be a war.
They would lose in an historic landslide.
That’s why we want them!
I suspect he has other motives.
We know the actual vote would go that way... but what if the announced result went the other way?
Obama himself admitted that our election system is too decentralized to rig completely.
It has to be within the Democrat margin-of-cheating.
That’s why you don’t want it to be close.

So MM, socialism is a great idea for the country?
You can’t make this idiocy up.
Hey!
Seen your cardiologist lately....Donut Breath?
I agree that Moore seems to have his pulse on reality more than other Dems. Ordinarily, I would dismiss this as posturing, but maybe it is something more. In 2007, I did not think it possible that Barack Obama could be elected POTUS in 2008 either.
Yes, that I agree with.
However, that is not what I was replying to.
Another self hating white brownoser who wouldn’t dare live in a minority hood.
They are throwing the traditional middle class, blue collar segment under the bus in favor of illegal aliens, welfare recipients, government workers and hard core leftists all of whom live on the backs of taxpayers this is the Democrat coalition. They are becoming a electoral majority
The middle class is the group that has to fund all vote buying and they are already being drained to poverty as it is supporting the gimmee class.
It is become difficult for Democrats to keep the middle class workers who are funding the crushing financial burden on board with them because they must continually up the bidding for freebies to keep the vote for a living class voting for them
So the Democrats only hope is to go all in on appealing to its new coalition even if it alienates middle class workers
The demographics are on the side of the Democrats so if this does not work this time around, it will in a near term future election cycle.
Democrats know they will have a hard time beating President Trump so they are developing third base for 2024 when they finally reached a perm at electoral majority with their new coalition
Mister Moore? Your stroke is ready.
My concern is that that margin has been increasing rapidly. Just check out what they pulled off in Orange County last cycle.
