I am of the opinion that the Dems will be so far left by election day that the rank and file Dem voters will migrate to Trump.........

perhaps, but the going wisdom at the moment is that democrat candidates are currently racing each other to the far left to get the nomination, and then the winner will likely have to do a lot of flexing and twisting to try to win back the moderates that they alienated. You may be correct though, as their tack may be to stay mostly far left and just hope that being anti-trump will be enough to scare moderate democrats. I should think that 4 years of Trump not acting like the racist/misogynist/etc-ist will be enough for common sense to prevail, but never underestimate the power of a highly organized media to destroy common sense.

that might have worked back in the day when there were only three TV channels, no Internet, and every waking moment of every candidate wasn’t permanently recorded for posterity on video ...
but that was then and this is now: those videos of all of those insane far, far leftist utterances will be hung on them like balls and chains via advertisements against them by their opponent, Donald Trump ... and if they attempt to repudiate their earlier statements, they’ll just look like the typical lying, insincere, untrustworthy, flip-flopping politicians that everyone loathes ...
