Meet the 'Moderate' Candidate of the Democrat Party
Townhall.com ^ | February 2, 2020 | Wayne Allyn Root

The Democrats have a big problem -- yuge, as President Donald Trump might say.

Right now the Democratic presidential front-runner is Sen. Bernie Sanders. His views are stark-raving crazy. The things he believes in turn off and frighten average Americans. You know, the ones who aren't communists and didn't choose to honeymoon in the Soviet Union.

Elizabeth Warren is trying to outdo Sanders. Recently, she claimed that transgender illegal aliens are the most important issue on the border. I kid you not. She was panicking over transgender people being stuck on the other side of the border because "mean Trump" won't let them in.

To radical nut jobs such as Warren, it isn't bad enough that open borders are draining the U.S. Treasury ... that illegal aliens are adding hundreds of billions of dollars to our national debt ... that they're using up limited resources for welfare, food stamps, education and health care that should rightfully be spent on American citizens. Warren wants to pour salt in the wound. She wants to bankrupt this country even faster. She clearly also wants to spend $150,000 each on illegal aliens so they can have free gender reassignment surgery. She thinks you and I should pay for that.

Then, just days ago, it got worse. Warren said she wants her nominee for education secretary to be vetted by a "young trans person," apparently referring to a 9-year-old trans child she met at a CNN town hall. To radicals such as Warren, transgender kids are the most important issue in education.

Now, more rational Democrats might say: "Warren will never be the nominee. Everyone realizes she's too radical. A moderate such as Mike Bloomberg will win the nomination."

OK. So let's meet the "moderate" Democratic candidate.

Bloomberg just released his vision for LGBTQ rights. Keep in mind I'm actually enlightened on gay rights issues. I've always been a pro-gay rights Republican. I support gay marriage. But Bloomberg's LGBTQ vision is so far out of the mainstream he might as well be running for president of Pluto. It includes:

-- Free sex surgery and hormone treatment for transgender people, thereby costing taxpayers billions of dollars.

-- Restricting the sale of health insurance that doesn't provide coverage for gender-affirming care, including sex reassignment surgery and hormone therapy, thereby dramatically increasing the cost of health insurance for all. Would you pay double or triple health insurance premiums so Jack can become Jill? That's Jack's problem, not ours. Here's my simple solution: Let Jack work three jobs to pay for his own surgery.

-- The right to seek shelter based on so-called gender identity, meaning Bloomberg would allow men who think they are women to stay in homeless and domestic violence shelters for women. This is just insanity and would potentially lead to women being assaulted and brutalized inside these shelters at the hands of men masquerading as women.

-- The passage of the Equality Act, which bars governments, schools and sports organizations from recognizing biological/physiological differences between men and women and instead recognizes gender identity, meaning your daughters would be competing in sports with boys who think they're girls, and showering, using bathrooms and rooming on road trips with boys who think they're girls.

This Bloomberg agenda is so radical that I can't even read it without getting physically sick. This isn't "moderate."

It's reckless and dangerous, and it borders on insane. Mark my words: Middle-class America will never, never, never vote for anyone promoting this radical and offensive an agenda.

Please keep in mind that Bloomberg is the moderate candidate of today's Democratic Party.

Been saying right along....Sanders with Warren for VP....with a good chance, he'll croak.

I've said it many times....I'm sure Obama offered Hillary VP....she should have taken it.

Transgendered citizens are a tiny fraction, so this pandering cannot be for their vote....they already have it.

It must be for those who “sympathize” with those who want to transition or live life as the opposite gender. But is that a big chunk of America?

I think most Americans are find with LGTBQ-EIEIO whatever people doing what they want as long as they do not harm others or make us pay for it.

So, why this intense focus on transgendered people by Democrats? Could it be their traditional minority voting blocks of blacks and hispanics are eroding away?

Christians, conservatives and, well, normal people have quietly tolerated (that means caved) to the homosexuals, their fascist activists and their supporters. So, they believe they’re boss of us, boss of you, boss of your children.

Homosexuality is the sharp tip of Satan’s spear; where it penetrates, great damage follows. It has been penetrating America repeatedly for many decades.

Life’s natural core program is to procreate, in every species, to produce more of itself, using numerous and amazing methods. Homosexuality blocks that, whatever the why, whether monkeys and dogs do it or not. It is simply and purely in-natural, against nature, and no bible is required to know it’s wrong.

Democrat "moderation" just got worse.

"Waning Warren" said she wants a "young trans person," to vet her nominee for education secretary.

Warren has also tapped a convicted arsonist to vet her Energy Secy pick.

I’m going to identify as a billionaire so Bloomberg will have to give me that amount.

Trans is a stylish euphemism for defective

“Senator Warren declared she would have a defective 9 year old pick the secretary of Education”

”Mark my words: Middle-class America will never, never, never vote for anyone promoting this radical and offensive an agenda.”

If the opposition is Donald Trump, there’d be a frightening amount of support for someone holding these views. Hopefully, not enough for a win, though...

The democrat party has not been American since at least the Clintons

The word democrat no longer means democratic, but dictatorial.

We've been witness to the democrat/socialist party without any clothes on for at least a year.

We amateur politician slueths like to think we saw it many years ago, but to be safe ... the "democrats" have given us an unabashedly prepared and delivered accusation against the fabric of America, and especially in the democrat "debates" and the democrat unity against President Trump .... we can easily conclude they are, like soetoro, devoid of any evidence of being American.

Worse ..... they use our language and our laws to attempt to murder Lady Liberty.

Who ever honeymooned in the Soviet Union? Lee Harvey Oswald. Can anyone think of a third example?
