I find it interesting that folks on the left felt the election was about the disenfranchised "white lash" voters. Funny, now it seems there are those disenfranchised on the other side. The difference is instead of party unity, it's become more about who can scream and pound sand the loudest on the left in an attempt to rise to the top. Some view...

Finally some real news.

Quote:Tuesday, June 26, 2018, should go down as a great day for Donald Trump. He had a big win in the Supreme Court on his travel ban, and several moderate Democrats were defeated by more extreme left-wing candidates.

Among them is avowed socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old Latina woman who defeated Joe Crowley, dealing a major blow to Democratic leadership in the House. Crowley was considered by many the likely next Democratic speaker.

This is a pretty big deal for Democrats, as they search for a way to defeat the Republican Party in 2018 and Donald Trump in 2020.

This push further left can have disastrous effects for the Democrats, however, and the one who will ultimately reap the rewards is Trump. The risk is that candidates chosen in Democratic primaries will advocate views that are too far left for the voters who will show up in the November election.

Democrat Tammy Duckworth: Democrats moving too far left will doom White House hopes

The far left has taken over the Democrat party. The hate they have for President Trump has fueled their growth. Hate will not win in the end with the American people.

Quote:Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., said Sunday that the Democratic Party should avoid moving further left on the ideological spectrum if they hope to win a presidential election.

Following the shocking defeat of fourth-ranking House Democrat Joe Crowley of New York by avowed Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in last week’s primary contest, the party has been thrown into a state of uncertainty.

But Duckworth told CNN’s Jake Tapper that she doesn’t foresee that being a winning strategy in the Midwest.

“I think that you can’t win the White House without the Midwest,” Duckworth said. “And I don’t think you can go too far to the left and still win the Midwest — coming from a Midwestern state."

Bull Connor was a Democrat
Wallace was a Democrat

Dixiecrats were no friends of the poor and downtrodden who were simply an asset to be used as political capital.

Virtually every slave owner was a Democrat, including the Black and Mulatto slave owners in the USA.

I'm starting to fall in line with that more and more, as I watch the Left sail further and further away into insanity. I will enjoy the bonfire they are starting
