House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy boldly predicted Friday that Democrats will lose the majority in the House of Representatives this cycle with Bernie Sanders at the top of their ticket, saying the party has “surrendered to the socialists.”
In an interview with Fox News on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) outside Washington, McCarthy weighed in on the warnings from within the Democratic Party that a Sanders nomination could endanger their hold on the House under Nancy Pelosi. McCarthy would be in line for the speakership should the chamber flip — and he eagerly played up those internal party tensions.
“The Democrats have surrendered to the socialists,” McCarthy told Fox News. “There is a reason why Bernie Sanders is going to become their nominee and that’s because this is no longer the Democratic Party — this is a socialist Democratic Party.”
“With AOC, [Rep. Rashida] Tlaib, [Ilan] Omar — they don’t call themselves Democrats,” he continued. “They call themselves socialist Democrats.”
McCarthy was underscoring the narrative of the conservative conference itself, where numerous President Trump allies hammered the message that his administration and campaign are fighting for America against socialism, represented by Democratic figures like Sanders.
“This is where the party has gone. ... That’s why they’re going to lose the majority,” the California Republican told Fox News.
McCarthy touted the accomplishments of the Trump administration, saying that with “four more years” of President Trump “the next century would be ours.”
When asked whether he believed Sanders, I-Vt., would be the Democratic nominee, McCarthy said he is a figure that best represents the current state of the party. “The Democrats are going to nominate who they think best represents them,” he said. “And I think, as today’s socialist Democratic Party, Bernie is their person representing them best.”

I like that and they’re doing a good job of it so far. :^)
It will take Congress to make this country 51% Socialist.
The Congresscritters won’t have to work hard.
Thanks to the feckless NeverTrumper Bushites...self serving political hacks all.
What good are they?
Right now this staged panic in the markets has me very worried. The voters may turn to Bernie if the economy tips over due to this virus panic.
‘surrendered to the COMMUNISTS!!!!
Agreed, there’s not a dimes worth of difference in my view.
YUP
And 40-50 of on the pad, RINOs that hated Trump because he was cutting off their under the table money supply.
Hundred dollar bills in brown paper bags were becoming a thing of the past, and the RINOs on the take, did not take kindly to President Trump, so they stymied him and then retired to eat at the public retirement trough.
Fat hogs that they are.
Yeah, they caused two years worth of pain, but Trump will succeed, after all of the bull shit.
Now that the Democrats have been taken over by the Communists, we need to reinstate the law banning Communist-controlled organizations. Hopefully it is still on the books somewhere.
Senatory McCarthy was right the Marxists have been waiting to take over America.
The Democrats are covered by the Communist Control Act of 1954.
I take it you plan to put up more of a fight than Paul Ryan did then?
Hopefully so and it won’t take much effort on McCarthy’s part to do that, Ryan the turkey was a zero.
They didn’t so much surrender to the socialists.
They stood next to a socialist and looked in the mirror and couldn’t tell the difference.
Speaking overconfidently about the coming elections is a big mistake...…. I thought we had learned that lesson by now. It doesn’t motivate people to vote.
And don’t underestimate the appeal of “free stuff”
One can hope. However, with RINO’s in the GOP, all it means is no idiotic investigations. But no progress against the left.
STOP predicting and GET THE VOTERS out— McCarthy.
IF you cannot run good candidates against people like the worthless DOD employee surveillance thug Evelyn Farkas, who is running in Nita Lowey’s vacated lifetime seat in Chappaqua NY, then you have NOT got it right at all.
The meaning of victory is TOTAL. Look that race up in NY- Nita Lowey’s old scum filled seat. To be replaced with a Burisma enabler and surveillance deep state braggart— all about SPYING ON TrUMP under obamaumao’s “executive” a@@Hole leadership violating our Constitution, and ALL of our civil rights.
Go after her- and any like her-— these Brennan bots running for the House. ID them— take them out. Call them what they are. Would be good if Bernie is running alongside them— make it easier than the Sen. from MBNA, mr. credit card never paid back— politician moron Biden.
