You know very well what I mean.
No I dont, thats why I ask for clarification and gave what I believe to be your meaning. Pretending we know what each other means is exactly how you get miscommunication.
If you meant something different, state so. this is a discussion forum. if you are here, you obviously have time. dont get angry because I cant read your mind.
I am a moderate that voted Carter, Reagan, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Obama, Romney, Trump. I point this out to say I can go with either party and with one exception I have been in sync with the majority of moderates that decide elections. At this point none of the leading Dems is anyone I could bring myself to vote for. Except for Biden they are all too far left extremist, and while Biden is much more moderate, he never asserted himself standing up to any of Obama's identity excesses.

How do you figure out wanting to help out those at the lower rungs of society being a "far left extreme" position?
Joe Kennedy lll should run. Both parties need to stop running the older generation. We need new and fresh faces to take our country forward. Who would be comparable in the republican party to Joe Kennedy.

The straw poll had J.K. on it and that's who I voted for. I'd like to see a "new" Kennedy at the helm. Smart and his name. Why not, look what we have now...not smart and that name.

George P. Bush (Jeb's son) won his primary earlier this year, running for a second term as Commissioner of the Texas General Land Office (a statewide post):
Clinton got 46% of the vote in Pennsylvania, not 0%
We are talking about a difference between 66,000 voters from 2012 to 2016.
in short, stop using "most" or "the people" as if there was some major shift.
Let's look at Philadelphia specifically. Fewer than 2/3 of the voters turned out. Democrats outnumber Republicans 7-1 in that city. Look at point number five in this article. The parts of PA that are usually responsible for giving the Democrats the win were not a factor in the election, like they have been for all of the past elections since the 1990's. If you want to say that's not a shift, then go right ahead. I live in PA, though. I'll go with what I saw and what I heard with my own ears.
Democrats need to get someone who will get their voters energized, and I don't see it being any of those listed in the OP. From the same article, note the part about immigration being a big issue for some PA voters. Hazelton has almost literally been taken over by Spanish-speaking immigrants, many illegal, and it's starting to spill onto other towns. Bartletta got into some hot water for trying to make it harder for the illegals to get hired, and you'd have thought he was Satan incarnate because of it. You can bet that Trumps message resonated with people in this area - even some Democrats. None of those four will do well in a lot of places across the country that are struggling with an illegal immigrant population.
