Which is why McConnell brought the "Green New Deal" to the floor for a vote.


Obama warns Democrats against going too far left: ‘We have to be rooted in reality’

Polling shows it too: Half of Americans think the Democratic Party has moved too far left

In reality, Republican Party hasn't changed much (other than the big personality at the top). It just looks like they did because relatively speaking, the left has drifted so far away. I mean, conservative generally means unwillingness to change, no?

Thanks GT, you're proving my point. (All the way back to 10/19 for the link Half of Americans think the Democratic Party has moved too far left). Who says the Democratic party has "drifted so far away"? The hard right -our way or no way- Republicans.

Who succeeded in the Dem primaries, a moderate.

Ah the "Green New Deal". That proposal that the Reich convinced their followers was evidence that AOC and the rest of the radical leftists had taken over the Democratic party and was intent on dragging their beloved America into Social-ism. Not agreeing that it's a great idea but I'd wager that the percentage of rank and file Republicans who've actually read what the thing says (outlawing hamburgers and jet travel )

"Obama warns Democrats against going too far left" The fifth word quoted there. "Going" as in moving as opposed to "gone" as in already there.

That CNN article that you linked to, the one that you followed with the statement that "In reality, Republican Party hasn't changed much (other than the big personality at the top). " That article, in the very first sentence, says "(CNN)There's zero question that President Donald Trump has moved the Republican Party to the right"
