See my #16.

Donald Trump, I think he is a Democrat, not a Bolshekrat like the rest of them. He may be the last one.

Democrats only see the letter at the end of the name. They know nothing of the issues, Constitution, but do know they can never vote for anyone without that letter D.

To Trump.
In shocking numbers.

That’s right. The Walk Away Movement is gaining strength.

If they are truly Centrist, then they turn to Trump just like we did when we broke with the Free Traitors.

Few or none?

This is one of those self-flattering cliche names that people use when they haven’t bothered to study any issues. They say “undecided” instead of “Gosh, I don’t know what that ballot proposal means. How should I vote?”

That leftist little twerp Mitch Albom has a radio show and laughingly said “I decide on each candidate and issue and am not a liberal.” The caller laughed and said “C’mon, Mitch, you are a biased 100% liberal to balance Rush Limbaugh being on earlier.” The truth.

There are no “centrists” except for the uninformed.

These think they are clever and above it all to insult the hard left and hard right who matter. BS.

Centrist Democrats? No such critters exist anymore.
Will "moderate" Uniparty Republicans do?

..Donald Trump....

Reading The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics Hardcover – May 8, 2018
by Salena Zito (Author), Brad Todd (Author)

5.0 out of 5 starsVery good read

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
I watched the author Zito in a number of interviews during the election and always found her very interesting. I knew that if given a chance to tell more of the story of her travels on the campaign trail with Trump that it would be interesting . Her book was very well written and unbiased. I have never understood why anyone would vote for Trump unless they were weathy . Her book helps to explain the logic behind the large numbers that chose that path.

have no strong connection to the Clinton-Obama centrist tradition.

Since when is O and C examples of centrist tradition?? Gag me. The whole DNC has jumped the shark long ago and landed firmly into a Socialist and Communist territory.

Maybe they can turn to one of the centrist Democrat Senators that will be defeated in November.

Kasich is the best they can hope for but it would be like a sex change.

...it’s looking like progressives may have many more viable options for champions to send up against Donald Trump than do the centrists. That’s news in part because centrists have arguably controlled the presidential wing of the party since George McGovern’s nomination in 1972.
That's easily the most transparently stupid and partisan shilling I've seen in a while. Thanks Libloather.

The Walk Away movement is gaining steam and I assume the others are too.

“Name recognition” is a bit overplayed as a positive for getting elected “President”. Before he ran, who the hell ever heard of “Barack Hussein Obama”? Nobody outside Chicago.

The purpose of campaigning is to make yourself known...that’s where the money becomes so important...for advertising (and a few payoffs”).

Almost everyone knows Benedict Arnold’s name, but I doubt that would get him elected...well, maybe in today’s climate.

Biden, the groper, the gaffer, and the clueless has nothing going for him EXCEPT name recognition...if that.

there was a lot of interest in a Biden candidacy,

I didn't think the son of a Welsh coal miner would be eligible to be president. ;o)
