'Members are looking over their shoulders': Democrats spooked by new primary threats
Politico ^ | 7/07/19 | LAURA BARRÓN-LÓPEZ, SALLY GOLDENBERG

Just when it looked like the threat of widespread primary challenges to House Democrats had quieted down, the activist left is agitating again to go after many of the party’s longtime incumbents.

Tensions inside the House Democratic Caucus are running high after an ugly debate last month over legislation to provide emergency aid for the humanitarian crisis at the border. Progressives lambasted leadership and some centrists who backed the measure as “child abusers” because it lacked money to improve hygiene and nutrition standards for detained child migrants.

That Democratic firefight and others have inflamed liberals looking ahead to 2020, including the group that was behind now-Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s upset win last year. The raw emotions have many in the party wary of an all-out battle for the party’s soul in primaries from the presidential race all the way down to the congressional level.

Wanna REALLY spook the ‘Rats?

Conservatives should find DINOs to run in ‘Rat primaries, Donald Dems.

Why fight half a battle?

The socialist left is doing what the right should be doing; attempting to replace stogy, corporate politicians with like-minded ideologues.

BS.. The ruling class is protected or simply exempted. Ep got a beauty of a deal (work from home (!@#$%^&*!)) so he could keep victmizing children. Acosta made sure of that.
The entire judicial branch has been bought and paid for. There is no justice, on this earth for the ruling class of America.
Is the media going to seek justice.. nope, they are in bed with them, sometimes literally.
Why do you think all 3 branches of government decided to force perversion on our children and grandchildren?

That’s it! All of their communist beliefs were hidden till now. President Trump has fully exposed them for that they are.

“The socialist left is doing what the right should be doing; attempting to replace stogy, corporate politicians with like-minded ideologues.”

I have to humbly disagree with you on this. The right needs to continue raising families with a moral compass, engaging in community activities, saving money and encouraging others to do the same. On the political side, I truly believe that Trump needs to have a sit down wit McCarthy, McConnell, Pelosi and Schumer and level set them with what is truly happening.

The reality is the socialist left has to be destroyed, and we need to get back to at least middle ground and repair what the socialists destroyed.

Young white families, to the extent that marriage exists today, are raising puppy dogs rather than children so altho your thought well meaning, it isn't the reality we face today.

Most north-eastern Republicans are DINOs. I have always thought they should run in Dem primaries up there.

Maybe I am crazy but I think JEB Bush could win the Democratic primary nod if he entered as a Democrat.
