If tax and spend Dems face enormous resistance in wealthy eastern seaboard states, then please list the states where they would fare well.
California and Washington to name two, but more broadly you are right. The national Democratic party is very opposed to progressive liberal economics, even while that opposition doesnt actually track with national income disparities and voter preferences.If tax and spend Dems face enormous resistance in wealthy eastern seaboard states, then please list the states where they would fare well.
There is just no way to primary Trump. He controls the conservative media. Nothing but centrist and liberal media outlets will ever promote another candidate, and those listeners obviously aren't voting in Pub primaries.* The marching orders have been issued. All of the Pubs can keep saying they want someone else, but the reality is they had a million other candidates in 2016, and they chose Trump; and that was with a fair shake. Now that every outlet is pot-committed to Trump, they will torch anyone who steps up. The Dem goal should be to promote some sort of Republican challenger, not in the hopes of ousting Trump in the primaries, but in an effort to shift the narrative towards infighting and have even %20 of the conservative media arguing against the radicals.
ETA: *enough to matter
I'm saying, even when voices were heard, the right chose Trump. Now that he has control of the media, he's never letting it go. Even if there is a voice on the right, it will never be heard. If there is one thing Trump is great at, it's keeping the spotlight on him.
So primary him to distract him long enough to let the Democrats build capacity to beat him?
Since no one is really going to primary him, what do you think it would take for Trump to lose? Him just blatantly saying on camera he hates minorities? Hacked photo of his micropeen? Falling out with Fox News?
I believe Kasich will run. Whether or not he primaries Donald will be interesting to see.
not interesting at all
Yeah the Kasich part isn't interesting, but whether Donald has to go through a primary process is interesting (even against a boring dude).
Are the GOP still planning to have primaries?
Gotta protect their big boy from any mean challengers
