    Many of the old White men who are cozy in their relentlessly homogenous enclave in an increasingly diverse America are now well aware of their conspicuous liability: Trumpery has suffused their Party, and Trump stinks.

    Women, and better-educated, more diverse younger Americans have certainly gotten wind of it.

    The scent of the lying fraud is a beguiling seductive fragrance for some. There is no accounting for pheromones that are, clearly, impervious to cerebral considerations.

    So, what's a Party to do?

    Lash out!

    It appears that "Socialist!" will be the blood-curdling imprecation of choice to the point of tedium, as complex human beings are subjected to a radical reductio metamorphosis that makes a cartoonish, bad guy professional wrestler appear a complex, pensive Hamlet by comparison.

    "Oh, yeah! Well, they're even worse!" now underscores the lofty pride of accomplishment that defines the nation, but what alternative do they have?

    LOL, hilarious considering the current crop of 'leading Democrats.'

    It'll take a miracle for the Dems to ever elect another president. Better settle for the lunatics you sent to Congress... that and dog catcher are the only races your party can win in the foreseeable future.

    No doubt, it will be a very interesting campaign season. I'm not thrilled by the number of Dems throwing their hat in the ring, but I am impressed with a couple of them. And I think it could be a most interesting debate between whomever they choose and Trump (if he's still there). Hillary didn't handle Trump as well as expected, but this crop will be better prepared. And there is far more evidence of Trump's presidential style to reference.

    The "Socialism!" mantra is merely the blanket incendiary aspersion intended to distract from the vicissitudes of Trumpery.

    After the surfeit of talent has been culled, targeted character assassinations will follow.

    If Bloomberg is still in the mix (and he'll commit vast resources to the evisceration of trumpery in any event) it'll be amusing to watch the lickspittles attack a New Yorker who has amassed 3x Trump's wealth as a "Socialist!"

    It doesn't matter how much time or how many posts have provided information about 'socialism' and the misuse of the word at present, some still cling to it like a teddy bear!

    Republicans call everything they don’t like “socialism”

    Yeah, it is already getting tiring, the population is going to be tone deaf to it soon. It is like the boy crying wolf

    The desperation that compels some to escape confronting their present plight by fleeing to bygone days and personage of yore is always amusing.

    The GOP is dead of Agent Orange poisoning. Had the GOP been a better party, it would be sad.

    The GOP is not dead by any means, It has been infused by so called dems railing against traditional democratic points like using tariffs in the war for american jobs and the willingness to go to war for profits. Dems who give 1/2 million speeches to Wall street bankers Like Obama and Clinton. Dems who want to regulate a company with 500 employees the way we regulate a company with 50,000. Dems who in 2008 wanted to break up the banks and now help pass legislation for them to combine easily. Dems who favor open borders so to keep the lowest wage earners down with crippling competition for labor. Being in power for a month and not one vote on letting medicare open drugs supply to competitive bidding. A poll leader in Harris that took millions from the healthcare industry. With Dems like her they don't need to Koch bros.
