For this reason alone, the Dems will survive... Because the Democrats uniquely represent and are all alone in offering voters that wide open brand of total fiscal irresponsibility... while Republicans instead routinely impose draconian measures to limit spending and enable balance in fiscal sanity... as they routinely balance our budgets... only to enable successively greater Democrat excesses ? LOL!!! It is one instance in which "no difference between the parties" not only rings true... it proves true for reason... with the POLITICAL impact in fact forcing the Democrats to drift to such extremes that even their own supporters recognize their offerings as impossible frauds... Bernie acknowledges the cost figures for his programs... but refuses to answer questions about how paying for that could ever happen... leaving the minority of sane Democrats in leadership (who are not longing for the blood letting of the red revolution to begin in 2020) rolling their eyes... and either voting for Trump if that's the option given them, or not voting, which has the same impact. But, the Democrats leadership are still far to the left of the Democrats voters... who are faced with an amazing line up of Dukakis look-alikes. The others... pandering with their own increasingly extreme promises... amounts to high comedy... not a pathway to Presidential power. The only consequence in result... is that the extremism adopted divides the Democrats among themselves ever more deeply, the rift between those with a slim grasp on a reed of sanity... and those with none... yawing wider over time. Voters... not confused by that... in spite of the MSM spinning this transparent floundering as the precursor to another blue wave forming. There is no possible path to reconciling their internal differences... no viable path that ends with them winning even a sufficient number of Democrats votes... while their core constituencies (even elected office holders) are abandoning the shit show that the Party has become at an accelerating pace. They won't win the next election... and without winning the next election... they will not survive... because the loss will strip them of their remnant ability to sustain the obstructions of justice their survival hinges upon... THEY know that... Hillary's purported quote: " If that fucking bastard wins, we're all going to hang from nooses"... directly validated by having been debunked by the various D "truth squad" efforts in curation. But, the chance that a "win" in the next election might allow them to escape the Chinese finger trap they've voluntarily ensnared themselves in... is a ruse. It requires that... Democrats will HAVE TO cheat to try to win the next one... and... that's not going to work... other than in exposing them all the more... And, that's only a repeat of the events and proofs of 2016... They're already overtly cheating, again, to deny Bernie his votes... making it clear to everyone who the cheaters in our elections are... popping a lot of bubbles in perception on the left... because Democrats would cheat other Democrats... but would NEVER (in spite of the coup attempts) EVER try to cheat Trump out of a win ? Would ANYONE believe that ? Tipping points... happen... all at once... at a point when "the narrative" has been thoroughly undermined by some item of awarenesss which has become common knowledge... still without the general awareness resulting in any change... only as the awareness has not been made actionable. Then, a child points out the obvious... the Emperor is wearing no clothes... and in an instant the recognition event irrevocably collapses the agreed upon shared delusion. Trump has been feeding them all the rope they can handle for three years... You can already see the loose loops left lying on the deck slowly straightening under a slow pull... playing out slowly, just like watching a catfish take the bait... Probably not that long now, before the rope suddenly snaps taught... And Hillary's perception proves right...
