The daffy left and their Democrat candidates: the perfect storm

What if Democrats don't nominate a crazy person in 2020?  "Reeling from defeat in the midterm elections, Republicans have started to entertain the following hope: The liberal base will force Democrats to nominate somebody totally crazy as their presidential candidate in 2020, ensuring the re-election of President Trump.

"The dream that a victorious party will be consumed by radicals, overreach, and become unelectable, has long been a refuge for parties following a major loss. . . . 
""Looking toward 2020, there is good reason to believe that Trump, despite his low approval rating, will be able to shake off defeat and get re-elected.
. . . "The liberal base of the Democratic Party is angry and out for blood. But, there are currently two dozen potential presidential candidates and no clear frontrunner. Some of the candidates frequently touted have stumbled in early forays into the national spotlight — whether it was New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s “Spartacus moment” or Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s DNA test gambit that backfired badly. " . . .

Students say Ocasio-Cortez is face of Democrat party, not Pelosi   . . . "Wanting to know what college students had to say, Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips headed to Georgetown University to ask a simple question: “Between Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who do you view as the face of the Democrat party?”  
"The results were overwhelmingly in Ocasio-Cortez’s favor." . . .


Omar, Bernie, and Ocasio-Cortez decried for their fusty, outdated ideas on Venezuela — from the left  . . . And then he takes square aim at Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose heads are filled with lefty university mush and true ignorance of anything else, as well as the biggest old dinosaur himself: socialist honeymooner Bernie Sanders."  . . .


Most major 2020 Dem candidates will boycott American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference 
. . . "But the boycott by Democratic presidential candidates shows an extremely worrying fact; the radical anti-Semites on the left fringe of the Democratic party are gaining power and influence. There is already talk of pushing a "Boycott, Divest, Sanction" plank in the 2020 party platform and how much do you want to bet that Rep. Omar and her fellow travelers will be featured speakers at the event?" . . .


During a January stop in New Mexico which did not make it into his blog, O'Rourke, 46, ate the local dirt, which the report said is believed to have "regenerative powers."



Townhall
The ‘Burn It Down!’ Democrats   
"The Senate. The Electoral College. The First Amendment. The Second Amendment. The Supreme Court. Is there a part of our constitutional order that the Democrats have not pledged to destroy?
"There are some Democrats out there in the sticks — a lot of them, in fact — who simply don’t understand the constitutional order. They believe that the United States is a democracy, John Adams et al. be damned, and, in fact, they often are confused by the frankly anti-democratic features of the American order, because they have been taught (theirs is a pseudo-education consisting of buzzwords rather than an actual education) that “democratic” means “good” and “undemocratic” means “bad.”
"But the Democrats in Washington are a different story. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris went to law school. They understand the American constitutional order just fine.

"And they hate it." . . .
