Perhaps it is time to learn from the evangelicals [View all]

[question everything]

Yes, we are looking at them, wondering how they could support such a sleaze whose life style supposedly is against everything that they believe.

And they are laughing. They got Gorsuch, they are getting many judges who share their view of life and no one is paying attention.

We, meanwhile, are debating the purity of our candidates. Many here still loath the DLC, which was, still is - gasp - centrist.

Well, the DLC gave us President Clinton who was the first Democrat to be re-elected since FDR! Who gave us years of growth that helped many, who gave us two supreme court justices that are almost at the end of their line.

I saw a thread of two DUers debating the results of the Texas primaries. A "pure" candidate vs. the "preferred."

I don't know the details but I know that the way for us to wrestle the reins is to move to the center. To dump the "purity" test and to appeal to as many voters as you can. To many who see the dangerous path that Trump is taking the country, but are not ready to vote for the "far left."

Yes, I know. Many here will question our identity if we do move to the center but at this point, i think, saving the country is more important than "standing on principles." Or blasting the DINOs

I hope that we can put the breaks on Trump when we take the House, or the Senate, or at least reduce their majority when they will no longer be able to pass laws with their votes alone and just laugh at us.

And maybe, even the Republican so-called leaders will develop some spine to stand up to Trump.

But we have to.

OK, start shooting.
