In reply to the discussion: Democratic Donor Contacts Biden Allies About Possible Run [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)72. Murdoch is trying to draft Kerry
The message is that some big donors do not think Hillary can win, and they sure as hell do not want Trump to win, based on his promise to shut down immigrants, including ---and this is the BIG point...H1B visa labor.
Obviously they do not want a "socialist" to win and re-allocate Gov. money.
So the message they are sending is...we want nothing to change and now we are afraid our preferred candidate cannot win,
so let's find another one.

Keep in mind that the phrase "Loony Left" was the product of the DLC, not the Republicans.

Granted but it was embraced by the DLC as a pejorative to it's own Base....
