Surely that is a completely facile argument that because there were no challengers to B Obama and B Clinton that should preclude a challenge to D Trump?
Surely D Trump’s lack of leadership with respect to the lack of progress in providing the necessary money to look after the first responders’ health care as a consequence of the terrorist attacks on the 9th September, 2001 demonstrates, yet again, another reason why he is not fit for office.
In Michigan, we have Haley Stevens who is a pretty moderate politician in district 11. We also have Elissa Slotkin in MI-08. Our governor is a moderate democrat as well. Of course, we have Democrats who are one the left side in Rashida Talib in district 13 and the attorney general here as well.
Both of the first two are fairly in the middle ground on Capitol Hill. That is, unless your definition of “middle ground” is located on the extreme right of the political spectrum.
But back to the topic, no one wants to have a novelty presidential run just to say Trump is bad especially when most in the GOP hide their heads and try not to say anything negative about trump so he doesn’t mock them on twitter and get them primaried. The GOP is Trump.
In centrist Trump theory there would be gun reform, universal health care, immigration reform, etc. Centrist Trump wants to do all these things. But jello Trump agrees in the moment then is told he’d lose his base/pundits would be mad at him and he flops.
Where did I hear this before Game of thrones when they made Cersei Lannister do the walk of atonement for her shame. I feel this is the way the democrats think of the average republican voter.
