6. My point is that the "left" today, Sanders and Warren, are actually TRADITIONAL New Deal Democrats

And polls suggest that is what Trump's followers thought Trump was (he was faking it, per usual).

The pendulum is swinging back to taxing the rich again, just as we did after the Great Depression. It's swinging back to investing in public schools. And people are screaming for health care reform (and will take ANY improvement at this point).

Warren and Sanders are speaking to these traditional American concerns. They ARE the true blue, feisty Democrats and polls are showing that Sanders has a double digit lead on Trump.

But if we elect "Republican lite" (Klo, But, Joe, Mikey).... we will lose. Those folks are the new Michael Dukakis's.
