Well, y'all do what you gotta do but it was the Obama leftward leap that gave us Trump. Well, that and Hillary Clinton.
Obama didn't give us Trump, Clinton did and the TP takeover of the Republican Party gave him a platform.
She advertises she supports illegal aliens. Here in Democrat land CA, they are all running on supporting illegals.
Due to my support for the TP, it allowed me to vote for Trump. My number one man however was not Trump. But he had won by the time i could vote so voted for him. Why did I support the TP? Their stand for freedom, putting an end to the Feds massive tax grabs and more. I am happy to support the TP.
You have a good point in that we do welcome all Democrats in order to start marching back to the human freedom condition. We will take your racists and convert them.
Yep and my feeling is that they want it both ways. They COULD prevent Bernie from running as a Democrat with this ruling or they could see how he does with a second big bite of the political apple and then decide if they do after all want to hitch their star to an openly declared socialist. The ruling gives them options with Bernie himself while simultaneously closing the political door to future -- not official Dem Party member -- Bernie types.
At that time, I still was a deluded Democrat and part of grass roots. We were very pleased to vote for McGovern. I voted for Adlai Stevenson too. I voted for JFK and Johnson the Vietnam war monger.
If you watched all of the Democratic candidates political commercials running up to the primaries you noticed they all mentioned "immigrants" (illegal aliens) and that they would protect them ("watch their backs") and not one ever mentioned the American middle class. The Democratic party platform seems to be defending illegal aliens, defending gangs like MS-13 and obstructionism against the sitting President (President Trump) The native born American middle class hasn't had any representation in Sacramento for decades. I think even the middle class moderate liberals are starting to smell the refried beans.
Here in my city, believe it or not, it is not the Mexicans, but the Chinese, followed by the Afghani people and tons from india. I was chatting with a woman here days back that if suddenly at the local COSTCO store orders for all Chinese to get out, the store would be almost vacant but for the people of India staying inside. I was at a COSTCO in Florida and there it is extremely different. I was in one in PA once and the place was almost vacant. The only COSTCO I ever have been in that was nearly empty of customers.
8 years of Obama policies gave us the Tea Party. Democrats would be in better shape today if Hillary had beaten Obama. She missed her shot but yes, she was why Trump won.
The Repubs aren't dominated by the David Dukes of the World. Actually the Repubs have gone with more women dominating tickets, as are the Demos.
It's the DNC who decides who the Democratic party candidate will be for President not the Democrat voters during the Democratic party primaries or during the Democratic Party Convention. By 2006 it was already decided that the DNC would run a black man for President as a black man. Hillary was thrown under the bus two years before the Democrat National Convention in 2008.
From being an independent....do you not follow politics? Odd choice of of a forum to patronize then...
Nonsense. President Trump is a centralist - the reason there are thousands of messages on this forum by Democrats claiming he isn't really a conservative and many Republicans making the same claim. To the MSM and the leftwing, anyone who isn't 100% as radically leftwing as possible on 100% of issues is a radical rightwing racist white supremacist. In fact, President Trump is on the middle ground on nearly all key topics. A rightwinger would NEVER agree to any plan to legalize DACA immigrants. President Trump has made it clear that he will support DACA, provided there is 1. NO chain migration added to it, 2.) NO immigration lottery and 3.) The additional section of the "wall" is approved and paid for. THAT is the CENTRALIST position. Same on the budget. NO rightwinger would put in a trillion dollar economic development plan. Even on foreign military involvement, he isn't bombing and drone-strike hitting 1/3rd the countries President Obama did. Same on abortion. He is a centralist. Has he proposed or urged any laws restricting abortions? No. Only that the government doesn't pay for them. While President Trump wisely talks conservative, in fact he is a centralist. The MSM and Democratic Party do everything possible to try to divert from that fact with constant RACIST! RACIST! RACIST! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! The fact is that President Trump very much is what can be called a "centralist" to all by the radical leftwing - who called everyone else a radical rightwing racist - and to the far rightwing, who furiously call Trump a New York liberal.
That platform junk means nothing - just words. It only matters how people vote in the primary, not the edicts of wannabe Party boss controllers.
Does it matter? As has been shown the DNC picks its choice ahead of time and then undermines any other candidate. I am shocked that they even have members any longer after the last time considering they LITERALLY were cheating their members out of a substantive voice.
No one who is honest would admit trump is a fascist. Only the hate filled partisans would ever say such a thing, but their brains are defective, so it is to be expected. We live under an oligarchy, which is a form of fascism, and looks to me like trump is in a war with that. And the DP and GOP gave us this oligarchy where the american people get no representation by their representatives. Princeton used congressional record to evidence the People are not represented, only special interests and the elites.....and an oligarchy by any other name has the same stench. You vote for fascists and because of tribalism are oblivious to that fact.
Trump is absolutely an authoritarian corporatist trying to merge state and (his) corporate power. You can be a fascist without being a genocidal warmonger.
