A majority of respondents in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll of registered voters said Democratic congressional candidates are out of step with most Americans.
Asked whether Democratic candidates’ approaches to the issues “are generally in the mainstream of most Americans’ thinking, or are generally out of step with most Americans’ thinking,” 56 percent said they are “out of step” and just one-third said they are “in the mainstream.” These figures are a marked swing from July 2016, when only 42 percent of respondents said Democratic congressional candidates were out of step and 48 percent said they were in the mainstream.
In the July 2016 poll, Republican candidates were seen as much less mainstream than Democrats, with 31 percent of respondents saying the Republicans were in the mainstream and 59 percent saying they were out of step.

These are the good old days, much more troubling times are ahead for this great country.
“If you look throughout the heartland, there’s a silent majority who just wants normalcy. Who wants to see that people are going out to Washington to fight for them in a civil way and get something done,” she told reporters.”
The silent majority DON’T want you to “get something done”.
Leave people alone.
Is this it? :
“Moderate” my a$$.
In the words of Rush, “It’s just very difficult to beat Santa Claus.”....................
The Corporatists and Globalists won with Hillary and they don’t want to lose in 2020. They already lost when Trump won the GOP nomination in 2016.
This can’t happen again in the other “Uniparty”.
“If you look throughout the heartland, there’s a silent majority who just wants normalcy. “
Those aren’t democrats Ms. Busty.
Comey told us all to vote Democrat, but now urges Democrats not to go so far left?? What the heck??
Extent things:
Moderates are that group standing over there to the left of Stalin.
“Marxist Dems meet to save party from the Stalinists”
Anyone “normal” left that party years ago.
May they fail miserably!!
These “moderate” Democrats are decades too late to save their party. Starting with McGovern in 1972 the party has lurched constantly leftward. Socialists and Marxists have long been welcome in the Democrat tent and now have nearly taken over. Socialism will not play well in middle America
