With radicals preparing drum head trials for Trump, his supporters, the rich, and just about anyone who disagrees with them, Rep. Ryan might want to rethink his desire to be "rich."
These moderates appear to be the only Democrats who realize the danger the party is in:
But some elected officials in relatively conservative areas say progressives are clueless about what their agenda would mean for Democrats outside major cities and the coasts.
"We will be a permanent minority party in this country," said Iowa state Sen. Jeff Danielson, a firefighter who represents an area that saw one of the biggest swings from Barack Obama to Trump during the 2016 election.
Moderates said they feel they're being drowned out by louder voices on the left.
Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., a member of the House Democratic leadership who represents a district Trump won, invoked Richard Nixon's "silent majority."
"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.
That's an extraordinary admission from Rep. Bustos. The radicals oppose "normalcy," which isn't a surprise to most of us, but is unusual coming from a Democratic member of Congress.
Realistically, the Democratic moderates have no better chance of impacting the direction of their party than GOP moderates have in influencing Republicans. This situation predates Donald Trump's presidency, although the polarization has gotten worse in the last two years.
Former FBI director James Comey warns the Democrats not to "lose your minds" and embrace socialism. It is probably too late for that. The question now becomes, will socialism sell in the heartland?
At least some Democrats are convinced it won't.

Speaking of Leftist filth: The peep in this video should have been tazed repeatedly.
“Communists plot with Nazis...”
They should (have) wipe(d) each other out.
Lord Acton disagrees
Evidence says otherwise. Read a state by state comparison in “Yankee Leviathan.” Pretty shocking the limitations on freedom of whites.
But, a story: when in the rock band we were playing to a black audience once, who wanted soul. We, of course, didn’t play soul.
“How about some Jimi Hendrix?” we asked.
Audience member: “He ain’t no good. He daid.”
Hence, Lord Acton.
“Moderate Dems”...
Chuckle... the Lunatic Wing is upset because the Psychopath Wing is giving away their dirty little secrets.
“..They should (have) wipe(d) each other out....”
Well, we had Saint FDR (peace be upon him, heavenly chorus in background, white shining light...) who just HAD to save his Buddy Uncle Joe Stalin, after all.
Patton had their number. That’s why he was killed.
War measures hardly seem a proper method for judging.
Otherwise Lincoln’s abrogation of habeas corpus, shutting down newspapers, arresting the Maryland legislature, and similar actions would be the standard for judging the Union.
No.CSA only existed as a “war measure,” so it’s the only measure we got. And Yankee Leviathan in a blow-by-blow comparison shows that the CSA/southern states exceeded all of these actions in the south, shut down any abolitionist writings at all, blocked all mails, abrogated habeas corpus, and engaged in outright confiscation.
South far worse.
“CSA only existed as a “war measure,” so it’s the only measure we got.”
Which is like saying that FDR’s internment camps are representative of the USA
“Well, we had Saint FDR (peace be upon him, heavenly chorus in background, white shining light...) who just HAD to save his Buddy Uncle Joe Stalin, after all.”
Birds of a feather...
“Patton had their number. That’s why he was killed.”
100% he was assassinated. He knew exactly what was what.
My question is: How involved was Eisenhower in the plot?
“...How involved was Eisenhower in the plot?...”
Interesting... I’d never thought of it from that perspective. I’d LOVE to believe he wasn’t involved at all (and my gut instinct says he wasn’t), but the realities of politics and what people will do to stay in power are disgusting.
I’d be inclined to say it was less Eisenhower and MORE of the leftover communist a-holes from the Roosevelt administration that Truman inherited.
But again, anything is possible. Sadly.
“But again, anything is possible. Sadly.”
I go with this.
WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many “coincidences” and “things” in general surrounding The General’s death.
