Democrats Have Yielded Their One Advantage

There was a time not so very long ago — 2016 — when Democrats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives from conservative or middle-of-the-road states or districts could have it both ways. They could go to Washington and compile a very liberal voting record. Then at election time, they could miraculously change their stripes and proclaim themselves to be moderate or even conservative Democrats.

At election time, the liberal Democrat would announce that while a Democrat, he is pro-life, pro-gun, and pro-traditional marriage. Then he could back that claim with a couple of million dollars in TV advertising and direct mail. Swamp the airwaves and voters’ mailboxes with his propaganda! After all, he only had to persuade a handful of conservative voters that he was really a conservative despite his Democratic affiliation. If he could convince as few as 10 percent of conservatives to swing his way, he was elected!

Those days are gone.

The Democratic Party at the national level allows no dissent. You must not only be pro-abortion. Now you must be for killing babies after birth! You must support not only gun control but gun confiscation. You must not only affirm the lifestyle of every oddball sexual perversion, you must give them special legal protection and punish anyone who disagrees. 

Furthermore, if you are a national Democrat, you must be for open borders and abolishing ICE.

You must oppose the death penalty for murderers (while allowing it for babies!). Higher taxes. Socialized medicine. And basically every other crazy leftwing idea spouted by people who hate America.

That’s why the Democrats will lose in 2020. They have given up their greatest advantage — the ability to LIE about what they believe!

No longer can they be a “common sense Democrat” or a “pro-life Democrat” or a “pro-gun Democrat.” Rather, they have to publicly endorse the entire socialist agenda. In moderate and conservative districts, that will be the kiss of death. The Democrats have abandoned the center to President Trump, and they are headed to a massive defeat in 2020!
