Most of the pundits are wildly off the mark in their assessment of the 2020 election.

[onecaliberal]

They have no idea how irate many of us are. Their drivel is tiring. I don’t want middle of the road solutions. We’ve compromised so much since Reagan, we could be considered Eisenhower republicans in many ways.

[proud patriot]

1. I agree

[SunSeeker]

2. K & R

[lunatica]

3. I agree. It got old really fast when Nicole Wallace started

Criticizing all the candidates. I just turned them off when Danny Deutsch insisted that not a single candidate would be able to win against Trump. He made me think he wants and expects another circus like the last election. He must think the only way to deal with Trump is to try to be crazier than Trump. I just turned it off. Pundits can be such a bore!

[bullwinkle428]

7. Donny Deutsch lost his shit when he started getting pushback from

Lawrence O'Donnell...I was LMAO over that!

[Kind of Blue]

8. "Let's just identify this for what it is: pure guesswork" Lawrence O'Donnell.

And can't forget this one

DEUTSCH: Women want to be her, men want to mate with her. it's as simple as that. ... Men want a sexy woman. Women want to idealize about a sexy woman. She's the perfect age...she's still young enough to have that physical appeal. That's the perfect ingredient to sell a woman in power.

Palin Is New Feminist Ideal

4. This cake is sooooo baked

[DemocracyMouse]

5. Well put! We ARE irate.... and angry, bewildered, frustrated...

And we're sick, sick, sick of the Trump show. Come Fall 2020, many Republicans will be sick of him too. It takes the mentally compromised longer to catch up.

[Vogon_Glory]

6. I Agree With You, And I'm Not That Liberal

I agree with you and I’m not that liberal I’m closer to what a Nixon-Ford era moderate Republican used to be.

We Democrats have made so many so-called “middle of the road” compromises with Republican reactionaries that the only way to further “compromise” is to go off the shoulder on the far side and into the ditch.

The pundits don’t get it: we Democrats are very much aware that the opposition isn’t anything like our grandparents’ Republican Party and doesn’t deserve to be treated as such.

[Locrian]

9. 100% agree

Too many people are not factoring that into their thinking of what a "safe" candidate is to beat the GOP

[onecaliberal]

11. I guarantee I will work, donate and vote for whomever our candidate turns out to be.

I have preferences, no doubt. That being said. It will not cloud my judgement and clear eyed assessment about the importance of ridding the government of all republicans. They are destroying people and democracy.

[Amishman]

10. DU and people who talk politics on social media are not a good proxy of the electorate

It is way too easy to assume your stances are widely held if you only socialize with people with similar views. The same thing happens with conservatives and other extremists

[Trumpocalypse]

15. So true

unfortunately your words will be ignored.

[TwilightZone]

26. Agreed.

DU represents a niche. It's not representative of Democrats (or liberals, for that matter) in general, nor is it representative of the voting public at large.

[mcar]

12. Partly because they have this need to normalize dotard

and the corrupt Rs.

[a kennedy]

13. damn right......and I'm so tired of being in the back seat or the trunk to all the

millionaires and billionaires whims. I'M VOTING TO GET A RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT THIS TIME. Damn.

[FiveGoodMen]

14. Eisenhower warned us about letting the MIC have everything they wanted.

I think the majority of the Dem party is to the right of that position now.

[Trumpocalypse]

16. You should get out of your bubble

and learn what most people really think.

[marylandblue]

17. They were wrong in 2016, why should 2020 be different?

[Peacetrain]

18. +1000

amen to that.. sometimes I just have to turn off the tv, when they sit in their little circles.. and tell us how we all are thinking..

[onecaliberal]

20. They're not wrong. They're going with the corporate narrative.

And yes it worked last time.

[marylandblue]

22. Very few people thought Trump would get more than a handful of primary votes.

If you saw that coming, congratulations, you are smarter than almost everybody.

[onecaliberal]

23. After the first few primaries, it was pretty obvious. Also his hate rallies, I saw it in my

Home town. 2016 was heartbreaking, not sure where you’re getting that I knew dump would win. I’m saying the media gave him millions in free air, they also committed journalistic malpractice which continues today.

[Wounded Bear]

19. We definitely need to start talking about how far to the RIGHT the country has swung...

since Reagan.

Eisenhower would be FAR too liberal for modern Repubs.

[rufus dog]

21. Harris clearly identified herself as the fighter after the first two nights

She won my support.

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. Kick and f'n Rec

[notinkansas]

25. Are they dismissing the significance of the midterms?

I think so. They are so determined to create a 'horse race' because it helps their bottom line.

I'm not believing a word of it.
