Presidential candidates from both parties usually sound hard-core in the primaries to appeal to their progressive or conservative bases. But for the general election, the nominees move to the center to pick off swing voters and centrist independents.
Voters put up with the scripted tactic as long as a candidate had not gone too extreme in the primaries and endorsed positions too far out of the mainstream.
A good example of this successful ploy was Barack Obama's 2008 campaign. In the primary against Hillary Clinton, Obama ran to her left. But he was still careful not to get caught on the record going too far left. That way, he was still able to tack to the center against John McCain in the general election.
As a general election candidate, Obama rejected the idea of gay marriage. He blasted illegal immigration. He railed against deficit spending. And he went so far as to label then-President George W. Bush as "unpatriotic" for taking out "a credit card from the bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt."
The result was that Obama was elected. After taking office, in a cynical fashion, he endorsed gay marriage, ran up far more red ink than did Bush, offered blanket amnesties, and relaxed immigration enforcement.
Yet the current crop of would-be Democratic nominees has forgotten the old script entirely. Nearly all of them are currently running so hard to the left that the successful nominee will never be able to appear moderate.

Open borders is not a winning position to have. Americans don’t want it, and it’s a significant issue to them. They see it’s affects first hand every day. These politicians live in a bubble.
Oh Hussein was caught out (ie “God damn America” from his pastor of some years), the media just wouldn’t report in any meaningful way about his extremism.
0bama didn’t just “relax” immigration enforcement he ran ads in Central AMerican TV and papers INVITING them to come with specific instructions on how to get here.
Unfortunately for us the border has been thrown open by the libtards and there’s nothing we can (legally) do about it. We have some 40 million here now and over (yes, OVER) 100,000 a month flowing in and we can’t stop it. America is lost unless we wake up.
The 2020 California presidential election vote can be challenged in court and then thrown out since as a Sanctuary, california allowed non citizens to vote in the election for President
Interesting. Can you provide some evidence of your claim?
I’m asking because this is the first I have heard of that.
======================================
Iran's chief facilitator checks out the latest terror plans with one of his henchmen.
Khurrum Basir Wahid, a South Florida attorney, has made a name for himself by representing high-profile terrorists, including the most violent of al-Qaeda operatives. And while Wahid has every right to act as legal counsel to such miscreants, when viewing the rest of his terror-related and disturbing activity, it would be a grave error not to view Wahid as a threat as well.
One of Wahid’s former clients is Hafiz Khan, a Miami imam who received a 25-year prison sentence, in August 2013, for his role in shipping $50 thousand to the Pakistani Taliban for the specific goal of murdering American troops overseas. Khan was not the only individual charged in the crime. His son, Izhar, spent 20 months in a Miami federal detention center for his alleged participation in the terror financing scheme.
As stated by the US Justice Department, “Izhar is a Pakistani Taliban sympathizer who worked with [his father Hafiz] and others to collect and deliver money for the Pakistani Taliban… Izhar… provided and attempted to provide material support and resources… knowing and intending that they be used in preparation for and in carrying out… a conspiracy to murder, kidnap, and maim persons in a foreign country.”
While using his law firm to actively raise money for Izhar and his father, Wahid went out of his way to label Izhar a “rising star.” Also, according to the Miami New Times, Wahid said of Izhar that he was a “sweet kid who did his father’s bidding.” In this same New Times piece, it is reported that Wahid, himself, was placed on the federal terrorist watch list, in 2011.
Besides his work as an attorney, Wahid is the National Co-Chairman of Emgage Action (formerly Emerge USA), an Islamist group he founded in 2006 that attempts to pass its extremist agenda off as political advocacy. The group is part of the South Florida Muslim Federation, a consortium of South Florida’s radical Islamic organizations and terror-related mosques. Emgage tends to attract leaders of the Democratic Party, who see Emgage as an opportunity to pander for Muslim votes and close their eyes to the extreme nature of the group.
Under Wahid’s authority sits Ammar Ahmed, the South Florida Director of Emgage. In February 2010, following a debate he participated in at a school, Ahmed wrote on Facebook, “I hate white people” and joked that he “should have threatened to blow up the school.”
Prior to creating Emgage, Wahid served as a legal advisor for the national office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and a director of CAIR’s Florida chapter. According to the US government, CAIR has both financial and foundational ties to Hamas. Various CAIR representatives have served prison time and/or have been deported from the US for terrorist-related activity. In November 2014, CAIR was designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government.
The mosque Wahid attends is the Islamic Foundation of South Florida (IFSF). Wahid is also the Registered Agent for IFSF’s corporation. Up until recently, the Youth Group leader for IFSF was Abdur Rahman al-Ghani, an individual who says on his Facebook page that Jews are “demonic” and Islam “will over-take the World.” In June 2013, IFSF hosted a Ramadan Prep Youth Night featuring Izhar Khan, and in April 2014, IFSF hosted a talk by Mazen Mokhtar, a former administrator for the al-Qaeda recruitment site, qoqaz.net (Jihad in Chechnya), and who has called Hamas acts “heroic” and suicide bombings “an effective method of attacking the enemy.”
It is through Wahid’s engagement in politics, via his Emgage organization, that Wahid probably believed that he had a shot to win the vacant Commission seat. However, any voter looking into Wahid’s extremist and terror-tied background would surely have questions about Wahid’s true intentions in running for such an office – in running for any office.
What is indeed concerning, though, is that just short of 1400 Coral Springs voters thought highly enough of Wahid to give him their votes, putting him squarely in third place. That was well behind the 2553 votes the winner, Sean Cerra, received, but it was 1400 votes nonetheless. Either those voters were ignorant of Wahid’s sordid history or they disturbingly chose to ignore it. Beyond Wahid and his fellow Islamists, any vote for him would be aiding and abetting extremist activity. A vote for Wahid was and is a vote for terror.

CIRCA 2017--Obama transfers $500m to Green Climate Fund to protect Paris deal last days in office; That was Obama's second $500M withdrawn from State Dept using executive powers; bypassing congressional support.
Michael Slezak / Tue 17 Jan 2017 / Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018
Barack Obama has transferred a second $500m installment from the State Dept to the Green Climate Fund just three days before he leaves office. Photograph: Evan Vucci/AP Barack Obama has heeded calls to help secure the future of the historic Paris agreement by transferring a second $500m instalment to the Green Climate Fund, just three days before he leaves office.
The fund was a key aspect of the Paris agreement signed in 2015, which aims to keep global warming “well below” 2C and aspires to keep warming to 1.5C. Established in 2010, it is financed by wealthy countries and used to assist developing countries with adaptation and mitigation. It was widely seen as a key measure to bring both rich and poor countries to the negotiating table. The US committed to transferring $3bn to the fund. The new instalment leaves $2bn owing, with the incoming president, Donald Trump, expected to cease any further payments.
=====================================
That $billion---one of many---made a short cut thru numbered accounts in a French Polynesian bank.
Over 100.000 a month? Has been since March. The Brown Shirt Media hasn’t told you?
Their entire cockamamie platform consists of every reason NOT to vote for a Democrap:
<><> forcing Normal Americans to work so that Dems can be "the good guys"
<><> Dems showering illegal aliens w/ taxpaid freebies buys a lot of votes.
<><> Democraps want the US in obeisance to the dictates of the transnational global elite at the UN;
<><> these elites demand the US suck up to the few foreigners still traveling first class over the border;
<><> and we should shower the Third World w/ billions for climate control to keep it from being a degree hotter.

That the 0bama administration ran ads in Central America? Again the Brown Shirt MEdia said nothing. There were news articles in the UK press IIRC which were reposted here some 4 to 6 years ago when it was happening. These people didn’t just decide to come here. 0bama INVITED them.
VDH is wrong. Democrats believe that they have a majority based on identity politics and enough voter fraud to win. Free stuff and revenge are their issues. They don’t think they need the white vote.
And it should be thrown out.
No, he’s not wrong Noobie. And since when do they think?
The left didn’t read the memo yet cooked you time is over.
The Left is very good at lying to themselves.
