DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — As she waited to meet former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper at a recent house party in Dubuque, attorney Connie O’Connor was anxious about the liberal direction of the Democratic presidential primary.
“I know a lot of people who don’t want to vote for Donald Trump but don’t necessarily want to vote for the presidential version of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez,” she said, referring to the recently elected progressive congresswoman from New York. “I think we forget those people are out there.”
**SNIP**
Yet surveys suggest Democratic voters are less eager to tack left. A Monmouth Poll last month found 56 percent of registered Democrats said their top priority was a candidate who could beat Trump even if they disagreed with that person on most issues. A Pew Research Center poll in January found that 53 percent of Democrats wanted the party to become more moderate, while 40 percent wanted it to become more liberal.

Never underestimate the greed of the radical leftists.
Yet surveys suggest Democratic voters are less eager to tack left. “””
“Left”. Not EXTREME left. We hear workaday Americans called “far right” but no one is ever called far left.
Their followers will not have a centrist, they will see it as a sell out to the communist socialist cause
If you go out to the top twenty-five Democrats presently...I would suggest that other than Joe Biden...the other twenty-four are either leaning, or strongly liberal. Once Joe retires, it might be ten years before someone appears out of some southern state to be a moderate Democrat.
It’s a BIG job to defeat someone anointed by GOD.
Mass illegals, voter fraud, voter intimidation, judicial activism (i.e. overturn voter ID). Pretty much what is going on right now and has been for quite some time.
The demonrats have succeeded in inventing so many purity tests that nobody to the right of a queer Hugo Chavez could pass.
Must be anti-gun
Must be anti-oil
Must be anti-white male
Must be anti-Israel
Must be pro-LGBTABCXYZ
Must be pro-illegal
Must be pro-abortion
MUst be...
No Rat is going to be nominated as a centrist. The commie train has already left the station.
Republicans will put black people back in chains...said Cray Joe.
If anyone thinks he’s not a hardcore liberal, they’re lying to themselves.
Dubuque: Iowa's version of Milwaukee. A gangbanger gateway from Chicago/Rockford/Freeport; an Agenda 21 crown jewel; a multi-culti experimental lab... a congenitally Democrat kakistocracy.
Think "Fort Dodge with better scenery."
I appreciate their finally being honest. No more pretending to be reasonable and moderate. The Freak Flag is proudly flying. Lets see what the voters really want.
If they go too far left, centrists will sit it out or vote for Trump. If they go centrist, the kooks will revolt and run their own Hugo Chavez wannabe. I have to admit it’s sort of fun to watch if it wasn’t so alarming that there are so many socialists in our country.
I calls it.............
“The Democrats have went and gone FULL VENEZUALA ON THEMSELVES.” It’s their party now.
Decision time, boys and girls.
I agree. And how would the ‘Rat party pull it off if the primary winners are going in a different direction? Oh, that’s right, the ‘Rats rig their primaries to come out the way “they” want!
Moderate Dem: we’ll take all your money.
Leftist Dem: we’ll take your money and put you in a FEMA camp.
Thanks, It’s true.
