With nearly the entire Democratic 2020 field sprinting to be the closest to socialism without using the label, folks in the liberal media were busy trying to spin their radical policy positions as something palatable. A great example of this occurred during ABC’s This Week on Sunday, when two panelists tried to suggest that it was Republicans who were the radical ones with Democrats supposedly as the centrists.During the “powerhouse roundtable” discussion late in the show, Republican strategist Alice Stewart noted that the candidates could “run away from the socialism label” all they wanted “but you can´t deny the fact

How incredibly frustrating for Christie that Trump didn’t lie through the campaign like politicians are expected to do. And he admits it.

All across the globe, the Enemedia has decided to label anyone not in lockstep with their far-left socialist/globalist agenda as "far-right" or "extreme-right" or "white supremacist" and "nazi". Views that formerly were derided as merely "conservative" are now equated with the ravings violent genocidal lunatics (who, of course, can only exist on the "Right"). This defensive Enemedia tactic, devoid of truth and reality, cannot long succeed.

ABC is too far left to even understand what center means.

When you can´t win fairly, change the rules; or the measuring stick.
The Left/dems/media worry that they cannot win using objective and fair rules. Their answer is to cheat. They live in an echo chamber so they think everyone must be like them so that must be the "middle". That would be bad enough but then they use that yardstick, the "correct" place to be, to reject all evidence that their positions are unsupportable. They reject the obvious truth that even though many of their people "believe" in something that they can be wrong. At a minimum you must question you beliefs and deal openly with counter evidence.
They will not. They can not. That´s what makes where they stand a faith instead of a reasoned position. It is ground on which they are anchored no matter what.
It also makes them useless as "journalists".

Is this the same ABC that just rewarded George Stephanopolus, former Clinton deceiver, with a new long term contract for $20 million per year? Enormous contract will allow George to donate another $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation to express his appreciation. The spin doesn’t stop at ABC.

Those of us who do not waiver from tried and true bedrock convictions are being painted as "too far right" by the left which keeps moving AWAY from the common good to the EXTREME.
What once was intolerable 30 years ago is often more common these days helped along by the media.
Many long time democrats have and will became republicans as their party moves stridently to the socialist left and their values are NO LONGER respected. They have been left for the young, and often illiterate AOC types.
There are so many democrat ´values voters´ out there who are about to become republicans because they have been abandoned.
It is not those who are traditional republicans who are moving, it is the left, and the media keeps trying to make traditional pro-family persons who are solid as a rock appear "out of touch" with the constantly shifting fluid morality of the liberals.

The democrats are not moving very far to the left. They´re there. They have been for years. It´s only recently that they have been out of the closet about it due to the younger newly elected big mouth congresswomen. The majority of people identify with Trump, not about money but about values and his ability to articulate and put out there what We, the People are thinking and what we say in private.

12 years the earth is done, no cars, no planes, no cows, medicare for all which will bankrupt the country, illegals have more rights than typical citizens, and this is centrist thinking, that is one bad joke, a nightmare.

The truth is that perception is reality. The dems have gone further left with the media celebrating. The media has declared leftist ideology the mainstream and things we believed for 200 years as right wing extremism.
If you could bring someone who died in the 50´s back to life, he would be shocked. JFK is probably rolling in his grave.

So then what difference does it make to Democrats? They are all going to die in 11.5 years according to AOC.

Democrats have gone so far Left that average Americans need binoculars to see them and their positions. They are nowhere near center, and they never have been. The media is still trying desperately to salvage something from this disaster they made for themselves during the Obama presidency, and I don´t think it is going to work.
Projection, they true name is Democrat.

It´s very comforting to know that Chris Christie is representing our side.
Yes - - he´s our champion! We couldn´t ask for more.

It´s obvious that our education system has failed to educate these people about what has made America great. Ever since these people were in school, as far back as the 1960s, education has focused more on the dark parts of American history. No wonder their perspective is so warped.

Gotta love these weekly Trump Derangement Syndrome think tanks, denial-interventions, trying to give each other therapy for socialism not working, not being in the picture now.
How in the world did President Bush ever hire that rat, Matthew Dowd? His wimpy complaining is quite annoying. Women married him, twice, had kids by him?! Wow! No wonder he is divorced, twice!
These worthless Sunday shows, staffed almost entirely by liberals, never say anything that is true, never say anything that comes true. It´s wasted airtime.

If you think these dems are close to the center you must be a resident of cloud cuckooland.

Lucky us, represented by the mediocre self serving cruise line conservatives on that panel. Christie said PT ran as a "personality" and still is? Well Mr. Close the bridge, you are the loser and go jump off that bridge.
There was no representing me on that "panel".

This is Sociology at work. The inventor or Sociology vowed to erase "superstitions" such as Christianity and thus make it so there is no right or wrong except what the majority believes.
There is right and a wrong.

The Dems have driven off the chart to the left, and half the Repubs are well left of center. A small minority are slightly right of center, a couple a bit farther right.
But, since the ABC idea of the center is 2/3 of the way to the left edge.....

The Democrat party has swung to far to the Left that Bernie Sanders looks like he is in the political Center in comparison.
The GOP has some far Right types. If a bill does not contain ALL that they want (even though it contains MOST of what they want) they will vote against it and get NOTHING. It makes me want to scream!
