Good one Sir Dope, thanks.
Fully agree with the premise and certainly this was under Clinton also in 1992-2000
*The Progressives were told to shove it by the DNC
*Bill Clinton - moved Rightward - not Leftward on cops, defense, business, welfare, gay marriage.
He lurched Left in 1994 and got crushed but then in 1996, moved Right again and won big.
OH BTW - Papa Bush - one of the reasons he lost was the Tax and Budget Summit where he went along with Foley Dems on a tax hike - so Papa partially lost due to moving Left.
I still strongly believe we MUST do the same thing - move LEFTward on a few things:
*Abortion: Rape incest life of mother.
*SocSecurity/Medicare: Our side better NOT propose ANY cuts or age bumps. We'll be crucified. We should *solely* say to increase FICA on people earning $ $200k+ -- ie cClub 401K coastal and watch the Left squirm. Then WE tell the world "Democrats are protecting the rich, and want to cut social security" and then - yeah - Woke Workers and Woke Corporations pay a bit more FICA and guess what - *our* voters collect the money.
Other than that, Trump has picked up the Pat Buchanan torch and showed us - it's a winning formula for us. Now - IMAGINE if we picked up some women votes and Social Security votes.
