here s the deal, yes, primaries are for distinguishing yourself from the field and they re about getting press and making waves. i get all that, but not if they re at the expense of the real end goal which in this case is to get a democrat into the white house. it isn t all that complicated. trump s wildly unpopular and so are many of his policies, run against them. that s it and also stop saying crazy stuff. okay. here to discuss where the democrats go next and former indiana governor evan bayh. senator, i think all of these candidates that we saw on thursday are talented and any one of them should be able to beat trump, but it feels like many of the candidates think this primary is happening in a vacuum, and it s not moderates and independents and even reps are tuning in, too. do they need to focus less on scoring points on the far left and more on making the case they could beat trump.
first of all, there were two of them. both republicans won and unfortunately, many of the left, many people are saying even though we won it s still a loss. right. a win is a wen. trump came in the night before, rallied the troops and got them energized and he did so in large part by following the same playbook that both of the candidates did, by reminding voters in north carolina what the democratic party stands for, talking about the squad. talking about the green new deal. talking about the policies that many of those running for president are running for and that does not work for north carolina and it s not going to work. as senator bayh mentioned earlier, the 40% of moderates in the general election are the key and that s where the president needs to put his focus and that s where the eventual democratic nominee and if the democrat parties is going to go so far left as they are with a green new deal and free college tuition and that s not going to vote for the key voting bloc
