Democrats have never moved to the center, idiot.That's like saying I like to hit my head with a hammer because it feels so good when I stop.
What policies has got you riled...........................
Would you have rather had higher taxes with Hillary......
Would you rather have Hillary picking SCOTUS.......
Would you rather be in the Paris Accord..........
Would you rather have more regulations under Hillary......
Would you rather have the EPA creating laws and attacking industries.....
Would you rather have a President refusing to give drilling permits via the EPA.......
Plenty of other things.........
That is what we'd have had with Hillary..........and handing them power is not the answer.
You would have had a Democrat President and a Republican congress. She would not have been able to pass anything she wanted. Republicans have shown themselves to be too far to the right. We are seeing extremism in reverse.
The Republicans gave the rich huge new tax breaks. They kept the carried interest deduction which even Trump admits is a special interest deduction. Created a new deduction in the pass-through rate, gave passive investors a huge break, and created a new deduction for real estate trusts that benefits Trump. Little wonder why he refuses to release his tax returns.
The fact is that Republicans are under-regulating. I do not believe that we should get rid of every regulation we have. Some are necessary. We should not be getting rid of the endangered species act. We should not allow public lands to be destroyed by big coal and big oil.
Kavanaugh is a boon to big business. They control the Supreme Court and stomp on the little guy. The idea that big business can force employees into binding arbitration is constitutionally protected is so much garbage. This is the Republican Supreme Court. Yeah to big business and crap to the little guy.
The fact is we need to give each side some power to force both parties to move to the center.
You have Manchin in West Virginia, Donnelly in Indiana, Heitkamp in ND to name a few. Angus King and Joe Manchin were former Governors who tried to come up with a compromise on healthcare but were turned down by Republicans.
They didn't move to the center. Their voters did and they ere forced to change their views of lose their asses in the next election. They will vote for any Trump SC nominee or lose their seats.
Not true. Manchin has consistently run as a more conservative candidate when he first ran in 2010. Heitkamp has been concerned about the deficit and as a result voted against the tax bill. They may or may not vote for the SC nominee.
You are missing the point!
Manchin is not more conservative. His voters are! That is why he is facing a tough reelection bid.
Heitkamp will likely lose because she has not supported her electorate. Trying to take money out of a voters pocket is never a good strategy.
