Obama offered a warning to the Democratic primary field Friday evening, trying to tell the candidates not to move too far to the left in their policy proposals,
“For those who get stressed about robust primaries, I just have to remind you I had a very robust primary,” he told the group of several hundred donors and organizational leaders in Washington. “I’m confident that at the end of the process we will have a candidate that has been tested.”
Yet, he also raised concerns about some of the liberal, basically isane ideas being promoted by Warren & Bernie, citing health care and immigration as issues where the proposals may have gone further than public opinion.
While Obama did not single out any specific primary candidate or policy proposal, he cautioned that the universe of voters that could support a Democratic candidate.
Some Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans are not driven by the same views reflected on “certain left-leaning Twitter feeds” or “the activist wing of our party.”, and those are the one's we need.
“Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision, we also have to be rooted in reality,” Obama said. “The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.”
His remarks offered an implicit critique of Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have urged voters to embrace “political revolution” and “big, structural change,” as well as proposals once widely considered to be left to the liberal fringes of the party, including court packing and decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
“I don’t think we should be deluded into thinking that the resistance to certain approaches to things is simply because voters haven’t heard a bold enough proposal and if they hear something as bold as possible then immediately that’s going to activate them,” he said.
If the Dem's fuck this one up and Trump get's re-elected, they should all shoot themselves in their fucking heads, because that's what I am going do.
