Trump has set the "new low" as far as uninformed unintelligent representation
If she can find a way to go lower you might be surprised how effective that can be

Imagine if she just bullsh!ts off the top of her head complete fabrications that suit her narrative
Like our President does... ponder that for a minute

Imagine if she finds a way to "one up him"
in the game of who can spew the most disruptive inaccurate persuasive nonsense
to suit her agenda...

She would probably say "like" every other word..."you know, if you, like, want to have success, like, just have everyone, like, get a free college education, so like, people can have an income, and like, support their family..."

The goal would NOT be to communicate with vast majority of Americans
it would be to motivate the lunatic fringe

Every lie Trump says gets substantiated as fact by a small powerful team that do his bidding
a solid majority of Americans know these are lies - but about 10% think they are absolutely true

That 10% can swing an election
when supported by 40% that hold their nose and pull the lever

The results are in
You just need to add the fringe to your core with a two party system

Yep. That's why people lose elections that say things like "binders full of women" or "basket full of deplorables." You alienate groups of individuals who may otherwise not bother to go to the polls...adding their votes to the 40% who hold their nose and vote.

It might be harder for an ignoramus to win over the votes of your suburban white liberal people...at least if said ignoramus candidate is a white male.

Otherwise they'll for damn sure overlook any number of flaws a candidate has because it's "important" to have a woman president or a "president of color". The left's Donald Trump is likely to be a non-white female like Maxine "Impeesh fotey fie!" Waters.

True,
in the same way Trump was able to get the White Male Pseudo Nazi wanna be to go vote
Something a woman or black man could never do

Meh. Can’t find the link...read it earlier today. As trip said, “socialism isn’t a dirty word to his generation”....that’s validation enough that the uniformed have no idea what they mean by socialism. Ask Venezuelans how they feel about it right about now...

Wanting universal healthcare, better pay, and free education does not mean we're going to be Venezuela. Venezuela is a single-market economy with an extremely corrupt political system.

This is a diversified, productive nation that can afford social programs if it got its priorities in order.

No one wants to capitalism gone - we want a capitalist market and social programs to co-exist. It's essentially ironing out market failures to benefit society.

Championing social programs sounds a lot better than having a socialist government without a capitalist market.

Let's keep in mind:
1) that a few don't speak for a the whole of a generation; and
b) these are the same fascists that are part of a party and a group (Antifa) that uses fascist tactics and rhetoric to combat what they perceive as fascism. It's quite mind boggling, if you ask me.

Gil, that's exactly what Trip is saying. Why is it so hard to accept that we have a mixed market economy? Pretty much every advanced nation does. As Trip points out, it's just a matter of how you prioritize social spending.

I was at a political forum a few weeks ago and two Europeans (I think German and Cypriot) made comments about how the Democrats would be considered center-right where they're from, and the Sanders' platform would be considered moderate at best. You can gather what they thought of the GOP...

They were stunned how conservative the entire US population was...even those claiming to be liberals (according to our definition). Perspective is a funny thing.
