It’s no shocker. The 2020 Democratic agenda is straight trash. There is not a single winning issue that these clowns are pushing right now. Not one. Yes, Democrats are more trusted in handling health care, but did you watch the debate last night? We have a large swath of the 2020 field advocating for ‘Medicare for All,’ whose dirty secret is that it will destroy private health insurance. That’s tens of millions of Americans who will have their health insurance gutted. It will also be the mother of all tax increases, especially for the middle class. This is bad policy and the debate was whether to destroy health care for over 100 million people now or later. Border crossings being decriminalized, health care for illegals, gun control policies that veer into confiscation, and slave reparations—they’re all losers. If there was one thing that was similar about the CNN and MSNBC post-debate panels, it was the various pundits noting that the 2020 agenda is a losing one. Former Obama adviser David Axelrod made that point quite clear, noting that Bernie Sanders knows this health care proposal is pie-in-the-sky, he knows that the public option was removed because it killed the bill—and that’s with a Democratic Congress. Axelrod also noted that ‘Medicare for All’ replacing private insurance is immensely unpopular as is giving health care to illegals. The end result: making is much easier for Trump to win a second term. In all, Democrats are ignoring the vast majority of voters because…feelings. They feel that they’re right (via RCP with the partial transcript):





DAVID AXELROD: You said something interesting when was, it isn't good enough to argue that the country doesn't want this. It does seem as if you're running for president that you ought to take into consideration what the country wants. And the fact is large numbers of people oppose the Medicare for All proposal if it replaces private insurance. We've seen it in poll after poll, a large number of people in this country do not believe the border should be decriminalized. A large number of people in did country don't believe that undocumented immigrants should qualify for public [aid]... I appreciate your feelings about these issues and I'm very passionate about health care myself. I was in the White House when we fought just to get the Affordable Care Act, couldn't get a public option. So Bernie Sanders was there. He knows that. He knows that what he's talking about is not going to happen any time soon. And so should the party move forward -- this is what Democrats are asking. Do we move forward with these idealized proposals that are going to beg opposition and make it easier for Donald Trump to make his case and win re-election when the stakes are so high? This is what a lot of Democrats are worried about.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki threw more gasoline on the bonfire that is the 2020 Democratic agenda, noting that on every issue Democrats like, the rest of the country opposes…by wide margins in some cases. That Democratic bubble only got denser with Trump:

Yikes! MSNBC polling guy dumps cold ice all over #DemDebate tonight.

In the meantime, hosts from both networks weren’t so high on the performance on Warren or Sanders, with Van Jones suggesting that the real winner of the night was Joe Biden since he wasn’t attacked. Well, tonight could be different. At any rate, expect the same trash ideas to be peddled with the same post-debate analysis highlighting how the Democrats are just too extreme for this country. In the Trump era, everyone stayed the same politically. It was the Democrats who decided to go full communist.

Ouch! MSNBC contributor and former senator Claire McCaskill on Bernie Sanders "I wrote the damn bill" moment in #DemDebate.

Not good for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren when MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has negative reviews for your debate performances. pic.twitter.com/FaH29P3CwS — Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) July 31, 2019
