The Dumb Debate in Detroit

Things are not going well for the Democratic party and tonight's debate was no different. If you think that Mueller's testimony was a disaster, this was only a partial disaster. The establishment Democrats want open borders and the left of the party wants universal healthcare but wont say how they would fund it. As a group they all fail to address the issue of outsourcing of jobs or re-establishing Glass Stiegel. They did all agree that Trump is bad. Compare these debates to the 2016 Republican debates and you can see just how boring and lackluster this debate was.

It is highly bizarre to me that there is so little variation among the Democrats. I cannot see anyone running other than Tulsi Gabbard that has a chance to win back midwestern voters. Calling them racist is not going to do it. Not one of the Democratic candidates is offering the Midwest anything to improve their lives. Paying off all student loans and giving reparations for slavery to people who have never been slaves with taxes from people in the Midwest is not going to get their votes. Giving healthcare to illegal aliens and not Americans is not going to get votes in the Midwest.

During the 2016 election I couldn't go a day without having something to write about, it was an exciting primary season, this one is a sleep fest. As for the Democratic party establishment, they really messed up by prohibiting Fox from holding one of the debates. In order to win, you have to win over independents and people who might support your views but voted for Trump in the last election.

Pimpernel spent decades in the political arena and have even written speeches for politicians. I have personally advised politicians on both sides on how to respond to certain things. Where are these politicians advisors? The truth is sad, the establishment Democrats are not following the advice of their advisors, they are doing the bidding of their donors.

The Democratic party abandoned the working class and the unions and are now funded by big tech and the banks. It is a simple fact. They hoped to win via demographics or coastal elites, college students and illegal immigrants; but, they forgot about the electoral college. Hillary Clinton famously said that she won in the places that had the highest GDP. She basically only won on the coasts where people are doing better. They are attempting to win in liberal areas; but, are funded by globalist corporations that are fiscally conservative and against regulation. Kids, oil and vinegar do not mix.

There will be no Republican debates this year, there is nobody of any meaning that is going to run against Trump as a Republican. Jeb is not coming back and Rubio and Cruz and Carson are all aligned with Trump now.

Let me explain how bad this is. My long term readers know I supported Sanders last time and that I did not vote for Trump or Clinton. I have also made it clear that I would never vote for a Clinton or Bush. I was happy that Trump won over Clinton because she would have signed the Trans Pacific Partnership and that would be the beginning of the end of democracy in America. Given the choice, I would probably vote for Tulsi Gabbard; but, the primaries will be long over before they come to my state and she will not make it to the end because her own party and the liberal media are against her. Maybe she can do a Trump and beat the odds; but, she is going to have to attack her own party first to get them to be fair with her. People may have forgotten this but during primary debates Trump was asked if he would support whoever the Republican nominee was and he said he would if he had been treated fairly by the party. Did anyone notice how the Democratic candidates have not been asked the same question?

UPDATE:

I couldn't put words around it; but, here it is. You don't win the Democratic primaries based on what you all agree on. Everyone running is saying Trump is the bad orange man; but, you have over 20 people running. If they all agree Trump is bad, why should anyone choose you over another person who believes the same? The candidates are running on who hates Trump the most and they all hate him completely. We got that, now what makes you better than the other Democratic candidates.
