All of the democrat congresscritters and Presidential candidates are pandering to their far left wing base. I suspect that many of them know, but will never admit, that they are going to lose BIGLY in the 2020 elections.
What most of the far left wing democrat voters cannot seem to grasp is that the 2020 election will not be won or lost by firing up their far left fringe base. The election will be decided by all of those middle class and blue collar voters in flyover country who now have jobs and can feed their families without food stamps for the first time in years. This includes a lot of black and hispanic voters who have never voted for anyone but democrats before but now see unemployment among blacks and hispanics at the lowest levels in at least 50 years.
Just like in 2016 but magnified by 10, they will never see the tidal wave coming until it crashes over them.
But then, assuming that the Democrat clown car of candidates want to be president someday, wouldn’t they then want to avoid being the nominee in 2020?
Since losing candidates in the general election seldom run for president again, if they really felt that 2020 was a lost cause, wouldn’t they drop out at some point, and not want the nomination this time around?
