“Running As Dems While SOUNDING REPUBLICAN.” Hey, What Could Go Wrong?

6. This is nothing new, btw.

100 years old, guys like Ted Bilbo and Ben Tillman did sometimes take on progressive-sounding rhetoric to appease middle-of-the-road voters and small farmers.....even though neither of them were actual progressives by any stretch of the imagination(despite what you might hear from some revisionists, mostly on the right-wing.....). And sadly, many people fell for that schtick.

And now, conservatives are trying to take advantage of our party's failings in this era, too. Don't let them fool the people again!
