They could run a moderate candidate and sweep the floor with Trump, but a moderate candidate can no longer win a national Democratic primary. Just look at the latest photogenic Socialist that they want to trot out, and she hasn't even heard her first gavel yet.IMO...
Being impeached does not mean anything... other than media hype.
The Senate is NOT gonna support it... PERIOD
And if the left thinks they are gonna get someone to run on the DEM platform and defeat Trump...
Well they are living in loonyland!
They had a good moderate last time in Jim Webb. But he never had a chance with the Dem leadership.They could run a moderate candidate and sweep the floor with Trump, but a moderate candidate can no longer win a national Democratic primary.

What would be fun to watch, is a house battle between Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy P Looney for the speakers job,,, get a bunch of Reps and Dems to quietly back Ocsia-Cotez and watch the fur fly. I have to believe the youngster would learn her place in congress real quick!!!
Yeah, he and Chaffee washed out almost immediately. Both were known moderates and both had executive experience. When you consider the fact that Bernie was Hillary's opposition, you can see where the party is headed.They had a good moderate last time in Jim Webb.

Remember that Trump's election was more of a slap at the Republican power structure that that of the Democrats. Conservative voters were attempting to tell the National party to do their job. The Congress had a majority that they weren't using (Obamacare, the deficit, etc...) and they appeared cowed by the President. People were saying "grow a pair". Trump beat the Republican Party, Hillary lost the election to him. She was a horrible candidate who failed to inspire both the Democratic base and the independent voters.Sometimes... it almost seems the DEMS wanted Trump to win...
That way... Trump could fix the stuff the DEMS preach against... (knowing if their platform went on indefinitely, the country would fail).
Then the DEMS could get back in power years later and go back to pillage and plunder the country.
The repeat the pendulum swing...
Sounds crazy... however sometimes I wonder...

Not her, but perhaps a candidate who is just as toxic. They appear to be leaning so far left as to trip over a nakedly socialist agenda. I don't think that socialism is as attractive to the entire country as it is to the vocal left. If a moderate candidate appears who can woo the younger voters, Trump is in trouble. I don't believe the black vote will be a huge turnout for the Democrats in 2020 unless they run a black candidate again. There will be that 20% who decide most general elections in play.And I doubt the Democrats will make the same mistake and nominate her again.
I don't. They no longer try to hide their Socialism, they are in our faces about it.I think the DEMS are gonna try to 'rebrand' themselves as moderates over the next year...

And sadly, there's a large segment of our population who is buying it.
I disagree, due to the fact that our education system has inculcated our school children for the past 27 plus years, that socialism is the right thing.I hope you are right...
Because that more or less guarantees the 'right' will prevail for a while...
The GOP would have control of the house... were it not for the outright criminal cheating the DEMS did.
I just hope something is done about election fraud before 2020.
My fear is the left will 'rebrand' themselves as moderates and fool the weak minded/willed into thinking"
This time it will be different...
Hope you are right!
