2020 Went From "Slam Dunk" To "Trouble" For Dems; "AOC Does Not Speak For The Democratic Party"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 3/21/2019 | Ian Schwartz

Former DNC chairman Ed Rendell (D-PA) advised 2020 Democratic presidential candidates to look toward the center and not to the far left.

"I think all of a sudden, the 2020 election went from a slam dunk for Democrats to something where we're going to have trouble beating this guy because he's going to make Democratic socialism swing to the left, which I don't think is real, but he's going to make it into the issue," the former governor told CNN on Thursday.

"AOC does not speak for the Democratic party," Rendell said of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her growing influence.

Yes, about all the dems can do this election is keep their base together, which is getting increasingly difficult.

2020 wasn’t going to be a slam dunk for the Democrats before the mad rush to the left. Trump beat Hillary who had 100% name recognition and had the power elite in the Democratic Party (and a lot of RINOs) on her side. So far he has a bunch of pygmies running for the chance to be his opponent in 2020.

Alexandria, you are Trump’s secret weapon.

He is itching to see you out there on the campaign trail. Your stumping for the Democratic nominee will be priceless.

The Donald has your photo as the home screen on his presidential iPhone. He is probably writing his second inauguration speech right now.

Alexandria, it is only because I care deeply about you that I must tell you how I truly feel about your legislative and public policy achievements. There is simply no sugarcoating this: detailed in-depth analysis of your “ideas” is the very definition of absurdity. I refuse to call you “stupid” because no one else in the entire recorded human history was ever stupid enough to make cow flatulence into a global warming issue. The notion that you have “Jewish” roots (as you’ve claimed) is unworthy of discussion—no one in his or her right mind believes it.

You recently said that the world will end in 12 years and wondered if it was morally acceptable to have children. You were right to wonder; you should not have children. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes (another dead white guy) once said: “Three generations of imbeciles is enough.” In this very unique case, let us stop with one generation.

Alexandria, you are my hero.

Yours forever,

George Bardmesser

Obama proved a nobody with zero accomplishments can win the presidency. Don’t count them out, don’t let your guard down for one minute.

“2020 election...[was]...a slam dunk for Democrats”

Yes, just like 2016 was a slam dunk for Democrats.

A-O-COMMUNIST is a DEMON RAT dumpster fire. She's a rabid, hate-filled, totally ignorant, anti-American, antisemitic, COMMUNIST NUT who has become the face and voice of the DEMON RAT Party.

The woman is a PR disaster!

We’re probably a year or so away from that.
Actually the Democrats should except the end of the Mueller probe, totally drop the whole Russia thing, and move on. But, thankfully, they won’t. So they will end up looking like the guy on the street corner screaming “The end is near” to everyone trying to avoid him.
