No worries, Democrats are led by Omar, AOC, Tlaib and Pressley. Are they attracting Independents? Democrats are also in a civil war.
With the Jihad Squad as the new face of the Dem party, 2020 is sewn up. Their policies and their behavior, not to mention their looks are not going to go down well in middle-America.
Guess what. You are still talking about Trump instead of the Democrat who might beat him.
Just sayin'
We'll talk again when the Democrats have a nominee.

Yes. That little ditty woke up a lot of sleeping people who have zero desire to return to 1960 America.
Not just yet they aren't. The Squad isn't big enough to sway their party or their fellow Congressmen.
They're the liberal equivalent of the early Tea Party. It remains to be seen if they will ever grow any larger, and the growth won't ever happen unless their ideas spread from Washington out to the states where the voters take those ideas up and adopt them.
I'm not saying that could not happen, as the Tea Party showed us all it can happen once a radical idea takes root.
The House is the place where voters experiment. A radical can win a seat in the House once, and can make a lot of noise for 2 years afterward, but that sure doesn't mean there's a movement underway at all.
It's when some Senators and Governors win a seat using the same radical policies that is a more sure sign there's something large going on inside a party.
So far, the Squad's political agenda is all specifically urban in nature, and even more specific to the voting districts the Squad members come from. They have a very long, long way to go before their ideas will become accepted in the heartland, and 2020 won't be the year.
Trump took on a freshman rep no one outside of the right wing echo chamber had ever heard of and elevated her for a news cycle or two. Far from making her the face of the Democratic party, he made himself and the GOP the face of racism and hatred in America costing him support among young, minority, and moderate women voters. I don't get Trump. His base can't vote twice. He cant win with just his base yet he makes no effort to appeal to more moderate voters. But I guess he is playing 3D chess here.

That's exactly what he did in 2016. And moderate voters are absolutely scared of the leftists in the Democrat party.
