I don’t want any more trump figures. Move to be more moderate.I hope so. Moving left by the Dems will only encourage more Trump-like figures into public office.Re: Ocasio-Cortez, I read today she was advocating for the occupation of airports, border crossings, etc. until ICE is abolished. Count me in as someone that doesn't really think she has a long career ahead of her as a politician. I certainly don't think she is the future of the party. Leftists are understandably ecstatic about her nomination, but I don't think it's the start of something big.

The Democratic party leadership, for at least the past 25 years, has been far to the right of the majority of their membership. The 2016 election was an anomaly - almost anyone but HRC would have beat Trump.Moving left by the Dems will only encourage more Trump-like figures into public office.

She won a low turnout primary election in a deep blue district. She's relevant cause she'll be a congresswoman, and social media star, but it's not like everyone predicted the democrats were going to turn all pro-gun when Conor Lamb won.

Of course they don't.I don't think the D establishment has any interest in making her the face of the party.

I’d argue the majority of Dems and republicans are center-left and center-right respectively, and both parties a trying to pull their members further left or further right. But that’s not how it should be done.The Democratic party leadership, for at least the past 25 years, has been far to the right of the majority of their membership.

I’d figure you would want her to be. I mean she basically holds all your views.Of course they don't.I don't think the D establishment has any interest in making her the face of the party.

They were already pretty much occupying the space the R party held until the turn of the century. How much more 'moderate' do you want them to be?Move to be more moderate.

He's also skipped the intelligence meeting for the second day in a row. This dude is doing himself no favors.from MondayToday a reporter asks our president “Is Russia still targeting the US?”Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats warned of an impending, potentially devastating cyberattack on U.S. systems, saying the country’s digital infrastructure “is literally under attack” and warning that among state actors, Russia is the “worst offender.”
The answer was no.

This is the re-re-hash of the Butina story and the assumption is that Jr. was the one who met the Russian asset at the NRA rally. Feels like it's all coming together.“Just a few months ago, the wiretaps of these telephone conversations were given to the FBI,” Grinda said in response to a question from Yahoo News during a talk he gave at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. Asked if he was concerned about Torshin’s meetings with Donald Trump Jr. and other American political figures, Grinda replied: “Mr. Trump’s son should be concerned.”

When did Morkle turn into a liberal hack? Seems like he gets his wife preggo and all of a sudden, he's over there on the left with VLB and Eddy...

I am really interested in how this all plays out. Feels like one of the biggest issues of our time, honestly. I consider myself very much moderate though, unless we're talking about pot, then let that stuff flow.

I think Morkle and MR25 were both somewhere between apolitical and lean right pre-trump.
I think that's a sign that truly independent people are being pushed away from the Trump GOP, to a place where they'd vote against Republicans for the time being.

I'm kinda surprised Freddy wasn't all over this one.This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that “Ambition must ... counteract ambition.” All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us.

Pretty much spot on. I think this is why I'm so invested into this Russia thing. My family is pretty hardcore red, I've never really followed that path, to begin with, but I can't stomach the things that have been happening recently and be so willing to toe any line. Corruption is everywhere, but getting caught up in this is huge.I think Morkle and MR25 were both somewhere between apolitical and lean right pre-trump.
