Can you name any of those Democrats? Because I don’t think there’s one. I think there are the Ocasio-Cortez’s, who aren’t afraid to tell you what she is. And the others just campaigned as “moderates” but will soon fall in line with Ocasio-Cortez. I think the “Centrist Democrat”, if we can call them that, is a thing of the past. Even if there are a few in the mix, they’ll be forced to swing Left, with the rest of them.

Look at Tulsi Gabbard. Good looking, well spoken, veteran, Democrat. Put up there as one of the future stars. Pushed into the corner because she dare challenged the status quo on our intervention in Syria and soetero’s Red Line and alleged chemical weapons use.

Now you have Swalwell, form California, advocating gun confiscation and if people don’t turn them in the government will get violent...

In an op-ed published Thursday in USA Today, Swalwell (D-California) proposed a $15 billion buyback program for “assault weapons,” as well as criminal prosecution of anyone who chooses to keep their guns.

“So basically Swalwell wants a war. Because that’s what you would get,” airborne veteran and gun pundit Joe Biggs commented on Twitter – to which Swalwell replied that the government would win such a war, because it has atomic weapons.

“And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit,” the congressman wrote.

Swalwell, Ocasio-Cortez and a few others are the face of the Democratic Party these days and in the future.

"I think the “Centrist Democrat”, if we can call them that, is a thing of the past."

Not during election campaigns, just after is another thing.
