In a nutshell, we need a Democrat Trump-clone.
Presently, the Democrats will do anything to achieve open borders. This is because they have become much too radical for traditional Democrats to support them. So they need a new population of dependents from whom they can buy votes.
But suppose some wealthy, non-politician Democrat announced his candidacy for president. Suppose he held old-school Democratic values. For example, suppose he supported secure borders, build the wall, and America first.
Naturally, the party leadership would hate him, just as the Republican leadership hated Trump. But 'normal' Democrat voters would love him and he would easily sweep the Democrat primaries.
Then what? The main-stream media would be in a quandary. Now, 'their' guy would be saying the same things as Trump! This guy could get a lot more done than Trump because the Republicans aren't so hate-filled as the Democrats and maybe the two parties could actually work together and maybe this could bring the Democrats back to sanity.
When you consider the current Democratic field, all *certified* wackos, a sane, relatively conservative, America-loving Democrat would leave them all way behind and it would be good for the country. What do you think?
But anyhow, one of the most dastardly things Satan has done — he has even stolen America’s Democrats. They have all sunk below even where Jimmy Carter was. America evolved into a political party oligarchy very early on, even though the high minded George Washington detested the idea. Only the power that a party could muster could rise to a level that got past the electoral college. Hence we soon saw two (sometimes three) serious rivals, and they began to show up everywhere, not just at the national level.
They must be vaporized with extreme prejudice.
We can hope that Marxists will flame out in vain rage at the vision that Donald Trump carried into the picture, and maybe a very chastened Democrat party will be forced into a serious rethink. An American zeitgeist returning to God would be a grand encouragement for that to happen.
The Democrats have Trump, the Bolshekrats don’t have crap.
And I still confess, there is something about Carter that I was fond of when young, and remember almost with nostalgia. Part of it was not understanding political dynamics the way I do now. My Republican dad was sure Jimmy Carter would get us into a war, which he didn’t exactly do — but he did get us a very glowering, long lasting, menacing enemy, because that Sunday School teacher’s religion was pretty feeble when it came down to brass tacks.
Believe it or not it will happen but the process is going to be very painful. Your post is confirmation for me.
You don’t know how deranged the average Democrat voter is now.
There’s a reason they are all running hard left.
Those who are not have left the party.
Good observations.
To make a slightly different argument, a modern day democrat who would take a traditional moderate democrat position could pull a lot of votes away from Trump. But it won’t happen because the DNC controls who the nominee will be through its money, messaging, and control over the media and they’ve lost touch with the electorate.
My democrat Rep is pretty moderate on local issues, very good at the retail politics, and understands her district. If she didn’t vote for the wrong crap and spew DNC talking points there would be little difference between her and the previous republican. It is the Uniparty after all. But the D side is run by crazed liberal progressives and the R side is now run by Trump. Notice how many turds have been excreted already: McCain, Flake, Corker, and most recently Amash. Yeah we got Romney but the ratio is favorable.
Jimmy Carter at least represented a flirtation with the idea of acknowledgment of God (remember the brief “born again” craze?), but it didn’t have carrying power behind it. Democrats were already falling into socialist schemes at that point. Jimmy couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t get the Koran to read like the bible.
Much, much more power is needed.
a D candidate with the traditional D party values, including defending USA and our allies, protecting our border, supporting or at least respecting normal family values, and ending the current DNC-commie-Nazi hatred of Christians and Jewish people...
such a person could easily win almost any election
but such a person would be against everything that SorozNazi wants (and why he purchased the DNC)
so I doubt seriously that any such person with normal D party values... could possibly get past Soroz to get the nomination
“How the Democrats could save the world”
I was thinking a massive Jim Jones style cool aid party.
Well, snickers aside, only God can really save the world.
But political parties can be more or less willing participants in a salvational plan.
I was thinking more along the lines of Stalin-style purge trials — do unto them like they have been planning to do unto us.
The way demonicrats can save the world
DIE!
Mitt Romney isn’t all that terrible when it comes to business affairs; but his social politics are horrid. And America has a social problem right now which threatens to undermine everything else. It might have been a blessing in disguise to have gotten Obama rather than Mitt. Obama was more open about what he wanted.
That isn’t truly in the American DNA, which is much more to wake up to a situation and shun the dark side of it while embracing the bright side of it.
Even Donald Trump didn’t want to jump on Hillary with all fours. Ans truly, Hillary hasn’t been heard from much lately.

Yes, it would be more enjoyable to help them out of our lives.
“traditional democrat values”...let us examine a few traditional dem values. Jim Crow, intended to keep fire arms out of the hands of Americans. Slavery, democrats opposed the freeing of slaves, we called that the cival war. CCC, democrat, income taxes, democrat. We could continue, but, why. There is a very good reason to reject democrat leadership.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying the above statement is an oxymoron.
