But it's impossible to be sure what the DNC agenda is, even in broad strokes, and a lot of that of course is because Obama's neo-PAC operated with near total independence of the DNC but cast a shadow ten times the DNC's size in terms of influence and outreach.
I'd be not at all shocked to see a moderate Republican cross the aisle and run under a straight forward Democrat centrist agenda and rock like 75% of the votes in November 2020.
Under the present environment (and that is all we have to go on, we do not have a crystal ball), a moderate Democrat would never happen and a Republican getting a Dem nomination? Are you serious?
The Dems are moving deep into the fringes. It's basically a coastal party made up of the poor, wealthy, elites and Hollywood. Case in point, the House Democratic leader lives in San Francisco and the Democratic Senate leader lives in Manhattan. A lot of people despise Paul Ryan but he lives in Wisconsin. And McConnell represents Kentucky. See a trend here?
The Dems main message is Climate Change, Black Lives Matter, TransGender Equality and Anti Trump. When they fail to make any measurable gains in 2018, maybe they will realize they need to reset their thinking.
