It seems really strange - Democrats seeking the Presidency are veering farther and farther to the left in an effort to please their base, while alienating the vast majority of Americans. "Forever" investigations, impeachment, infanticide, socialism, open borders, sanctuary cities, collusion - these are far from mainstream, yet all the hopefuls are touting them as their policy. Why would they stake their claim on such things? They must know they cannot win the general election on those issues.
Ah! But that is precisely the point! They must first GET to the general election - get the nomination. And the only way they think they can win the nomination is by pandering to their far-left base. And I am sure they realize that once they win the nod, they will have a really tough time pivoting to the center. But, alas, there seems to be no other choice.
Frankly, I don't see any of the current string of hopefuls getting that far. What I see is a Democrat "Dark Horse", who gets into the race at the last minute, as did Bill Clinton, and by being the moderate, sane voice in the crowd, easily wins the nomination.
If not, the Democrats have a better chance of winning Mega Millions than winning the White House.
