--SNIP--(Pres Trump) has done quite well. Russian collusion and other roadmaps to impeachment have devoured Democrats and their docile press in a maze of defamatory nonsense.
Never in American history has so much super-righteous and accusatory verbosity been wasted on such a complete, mocking fiction. Clouseau was Sherlock Holmes compared to the Democratic dragoons of impeachment: Schiff, Nadler, Warner, and their noisy claque of press enablers. None of them would have predicted that the US would have more jobs to fill than unemployed, that China would be seriously discussing reform of its trade practices, or that No/Korea would be seriously discussing denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
--SNIP--The great problem of Trump’s enemies: Their truisms and pieties about the shocking state of America are bunk....Trump has avoided the endless wars for which GWB will be remembered, and the feckless defeatism and irresolution of Obama's dissolving Red Lines, and its midwifery of ISIS.
Trump has avoided the economic disasters and flatlined growth of his two predecessors and has wrenched America out of the insane self-impoverishment of the Paris Climate Accord and is finally facing the scandal of illegal immigration, the insurrection of “sanctuaries,” and the attempt to prevent the census from ascertaining the number of citizens in the country.
The alarm of the political class is so consuming that the process of defeating this terrifying interloper, now that impeachment has vanished like a bad smell, is a contest for the headship of all the opposition to Mr. Trump.
What we are witnessing is not the organization of a thoughtful and plausible alternative to Mr. Trump.... It is the race to the bottom, the deep dive to all the dissatisfaction with Mr. Trump, no matter how unrepresentative and reflexive and extreme.

As far as I can see, the Democrats are explicitly rejecting concepts such as Centrist or Compromise. They are racing for the fringes of the Left. They have nothing but wild ideas now and no one likes their wild ideas. And the Democrats don’t care.
A ‘centrist’, eh?
I guess the Dems finding a Consitutionalist is out of the question.
The Democrats are counting on the corrupt media to tell you how to think and feel.
It’s a pretty easy campaign for Trump. All he has to do is label the Democrat as a carbon copy of Maduro, and run the ad in the thirty states that he won in 2016.
Democrats and liberals have to define themselves, conservatives don’t.
The problem is, in their race to the left to lock up their ever more radical base for the primaries, whoever does it, can they move back to the middle come the general?
I don’t see how, not that it will matter, as long as the economy doesn’t completely collapse, Trump will win re-election heartily.
The Dems however have a structural problem, not a functional one... Because their base is going ever further off the deep end, longer term the lack of ability to moderate is going to be more and more of a problem.
In the democrat party of today Joe Stalin would be a centrist.
Trump should be able to win more states in 2020, particularly if the Dems keep being stupid.
The electorate is to divided to get a 49 state win like Reagan, but he should win re-election by the largest margin since him.
......no question......
The stupid incompetent leftards want leftist big government because they are losers and want free stuff. The remaining leftards are elites who want power to rule the masses by offering free stuff.Going to the center won't work for either group.
WE need to not get complacent. That’s what cost us the house. WE need to work as hard or harder than in 2016
After the tenth ballot Hillary will enter the race and get the. Nomination
Let the Left keeping speeding over the cliff. I saw we urge them that they’re not Left enough and more needs to be done. And with the bench that the Dem’s have: The Old Guard(Pelosi, et al), Middle Management(Harris, Warren, Booker) trying to make a name for themselves, and the Newbie Socialists, it’s becoming apparent that while they have a common enemy with everyone that isn’t THEM, they will eat each other alive if it comes down to it.
I saw we keep encouraging them to go more and more insane Left.
Not hating America is too centrist for the dems, Trump already has that covered.
The America hating masses are THE problem in this country.
The enemy is within.
Unfortunately, much of the country is moving left. Ignorant, mindless people are attracted to politicians who promise free stuff.
What is a Democrat centrist? Is that someone between Marx and Trotsky on the beliefs scale?
THIS JUST IN: A senior staffer for Sen Mark Warner (DEM-VA) said Vanessa Tyson made the Senator
aware of her horrifying sexual assault at the hands of Lt Gov Justin Fairfax 10 months ago.
Senator Warner ignored the allegations.

The ‘hurt’ for the Democrats is that this label of socialism is going to hurt in Senate and House races. Thanks to having AOC, and her associates like Bernie around...it just doesn’t sell well to working-class Democrats beyond the urbanized areas.
They think once the struggle for the nomination is won that the candidate chosen can perform a Kyrsten Sinema and magically transform into a suburban-friendly moderate, with the MSM’s help.
