Progressives continue to help Trump

[Sandy Shanks]

Progressives are responsible for Trump.

Bernie Sanders is directly responsible for Trump. In 2016, Sanders, an Independent socialist from Vermont, ran against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. Sanders promised a lot of free stuff, free medical care, free college tuition. guaranteed income for all, and so on. As a consequence, he attracted a lot of young, naive voters facing life's uncertainties.

As we all know the Democratic National Convention chose a Democrat, Clinton. Sanders cried foul, accusing the DNC of preferential treatment toward Clinton. His young, wide-eyed followers believed him, and many of them expressed their anger by either refusing to vote or, incredible as it may seem, voted for Sanders' direct political opposite, Donald J. Trump.

Clinton lost the election by less than 80,000 votes in three states, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. It is logical to assume Trump became our President because of a progressive named Sanders. Sanders won the Wisconsin and Michigan primaries in 2016, and received nearly 732,000 votes in Pennsylvania.

Are progressives going to do it again? Or will they play it smart and wait until there is a Democratic administration before trumpeting their far left ideas?

Fully 12 percent of people who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voted for President Trump in the general election.

"Washington (CNN)The House on Thursday passed a Senate version of a border funding bill that aims to address the humanitarian crisis at the southern border following outrage and an outpouring of emotion on the House floor from progressives."

The progressives are at again. Junior members of the House, Rahshida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others, were outraged at the bipartisan Senate bill which overwhelmingly passed 84 to 8.

Rep. Veronica Escobar became emotional on the House floor as she talked about the photo released earlier this week of a father and daughter who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande into the US. The Texas Democrat wiped away a tear at one point during her speech as her voice broke.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead," "My district is 50% immigrant. I have an obligation and responsibility to protect them. I believe what we should ideally be doing is passing a pure humanitarian bill to get money straight to the kids."

These novice members of the House who seem to completely reject compromise are too inexperienced to realize their idealism can be self-destructive. If they got their wish and they defeated the humanitarian bill that helps the children, Americans would not listen to their argument that the President could not be trusted. Americans will only take note of the fact that the Democrats denied migrant children of a blanket along with soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.

The progressive motives would have been disastrous for the Democratic Party and they would be helping Trump again.

Pelozi recognized this. "The children come first. At the end of the day, we have to make sure that the resources needed to protect the children are available," she wrote in a letter to her caucus earlier Thursday. "Therefore, we will not engage in the same disrespectful behavior that the Senate did in ignoring our priorities. In order to get resources to the children fastest, we will reluctantly pass the Senate bill."

Moreover, had the Speaker went to the mat with the progressive demands, it would have been argued she was trying to make Trump look bad over the bodies of children ... literally.

Pelozi and the majority of Democrats did the right thing. Moderate is not a dirty word.

Wrong.

Trump won because the DNC in collusion with the DNCMSM, screwed Bernie. Bernie wins those midwestern states over Donnie and thus he wins the electoral college.

The fault lies with the DNC and the D Party for undermining Bernie.

How can you blame Bernie for something he had nothing to do with?

No doubt many died when O was potus, but strangely we never heard about them. Weird no?

the Democrat candidates want to bring manufacturing back to the heartland and raise wages? Trump already did that!

Shame on you for posting pictures of the dead in situ. Pathetic on high, using their images as debate tools. Additionally, you need to wake up and realize the American People chose our POTUS because they needed Him. The bad news for disrespectful postmodernists such as yourself? The American People realize they still need Him and will, until 2024. Get used to it or get crushed beneath the wheels of reality.

Yes, the idiot Democrats ( Ds, Progressives, Liberals, et al ) are, indeed, their own worst enemy at present.
