Do you think if Trump thought espousing socialist ideals would get him re-elected he would? I do with zero doubt.
His elective base is making excuses for him and riding the economy high. That economy high was already trending in the direction. He hasn’t followed through on any of his promises. I wouldn’t hire him to work for me and I bet you wouldn’t either. And before we do the dance, I wouldn’t have hired Obama either.Why should I question a hypothetical? If he did, I would ditch him.
I will say, he is obviously not a contortionist like most politicians. He is following or mostly following his campaign promises. If not his elective base would not still be so supportive.
That's pretty sobering and that sort of thinking has wrecked America.
I mean less than two decades after a high school kid in Indiana wrote an essay:
* we are now led by an autocratic strongman who manipulates free markets on his whimsy
* we are now led by an autocratic strongman who papers over the effects of his meddling by borrowing money from communist China at obscene rates
* we are now led by an autocratic strongman who bails out farmers who no longer have a place to sell their goods because of his lack of trust in capitalist markets
Clearly, someone needs to invent a time machine and go back to 2000 to stop Pete from being as socialist as the average teenager in America before capitalism dies an ugly death.
Republicans are leading the country to socialism
Pretty sure Biden isn’t making young people a cornerstone of his coalition.
Autocratic strongman? You are touched in the head.
Chinese holdings of our debt has been over $1 trillion since 2010 and has hardly changed.
Framer subsidies go way beyond and before Trump.
And yes, Pete is a diehard socialist.

Autocratic strongman describes Trump's view of the president's role far better than the oath he took to the Constitution.
Farm subsidies are intrinsically socialist, and Trump has gone two steps beyond that into full hand outs. If you are down with that, just admit you don't really hate socialism as much as you claim.
I'm sure Pete is socialist. There seems to be little else being offered in America these days. It is either welfare for the masses or welfare for the Plutocrats like Trump who don't even pay taxes.
No wonder most Americans have tuned out from this freak show.
For being an autocrat, he sure is not good at it being impeached and all.
We can nitpick policy all day and find fault with any candidate. What I find disturbing is the views of some who are looking for the perfect candidate, which is not possible, so pick some litmus tests and ride them. To consider Trump a socialist is just disingenuous.
Kamala helped, too.@zeppelin128
I was too lazy to go back and find it ITT but I remember you talking about how Pete ended Tulsi's campaign. Can you remind me how? Or what exactly he said? A link would work.
