Democrats Need To Find a Centrist Or They’re Doomed (Dems' race to the bottom)

--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.

Sadly, the Dems can afford to pander to their base without confronting Trump head on. The draw their reassurance from the fact that there are plenty in Trump’s own party willing to do their dirty work for them and stab him in the back.

“...they are racing for the fringes of the left......”

...because they know that an entire generation of young people wear
Che Guevara t-shirts, wave the hammer and sickle with pride, and stand up for Marxist ideology without hesitation.

IMHO

A centrist, provided one still exists, will come under withering attacks from their Antifa Leftist base and will be destroyed on the starting blocks.

The believe it is “our time” and they won’t be denied.

Sorry, but the Dems won 40 Seats.. That’s a VERY solid wave.. The only reason it was not reported as such were two fold:

1 Republicans Gained Senate seats, and 2 many of the results were not known for a week or more after the election.. .so the media could not call it a wave on election night.

Don’t kid yourself, Democrats won big in 2018.

Yes Voter Harvesting was basically legal fraud, but that doesn’t change the outcome.

Great advise. Let the rabid lefties scare away the independent voters with their insane rants.

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.

But I thought Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin would have been won for the dems if the minority turnout was the same as it was for Obama in 2012. They aren’t going to get that turnout unless they run a minority candidate again. Good luck finding a moderate minority dem candidate.

In what century did the Democrats ever have any constitutionalists?

..."this could make Sen Warner an accomplice to a cover up, of a crime."

At the least it could ruin Sen. Mark Warner's political career. It's looking bad for democrats...

Considering how well the GOP-e fights, they have a good chance of getting a radical in the Presidency in 2020 or 2024.

and yet, pretty much all of the Dem primary clown car occupants are “embracing” all of the far leftist nonsense of AOC’s ridiculous Green Dream ... by the time the Dem primary tune sounds its final chords with only one musical chair remaining, the occupant will be far to the left of Lenin, Mao, Marx, Stalin, Castro, Chavez and Maduro combined ...
