    Default Could a liberal Trump* get elected?

    I have reasons why I do not think it would happen, but I can see some scenarios where its possible.


    What do you think and why, could a radical liberal firebrand ever get elected President of the United States?
    Would enough radical liberals support a firebrand who lied and cheated every inch of the way, just to get some supreme court seats and a bit of legislation passed?

    The difference for me is that many Republicans are money based and more Liberals are ideology based. If you are an idealist you are less likely to tolerate despicable behavior. Liberals supported Clinton, but that was bad behavior unrelated to the structure of the government and unrelated to his job. Trump is different because much of his bad behavior is actively tearing down the structures of government designed to limit the power of a despot.

    Trump made campaign promises and acted on all of them.......some were blocked by the demmycrats but most got through.....

    can you even imagine a lib'rul "Trump" who would even try to carry out any of his promises?......

    Trump getting elected means ANYBODY could get elected.
    Just tell people whatever they want to hear. If you're a good salesman (like Trump) maybe you get elected.

    Whether Trump is Liberal or Conservative his integrity, ethics and competence is what matters the most.

    At the level of national elections, liberals have no tolerance for morons, dumb asses, and dummkopfs.

    That honor belongs to the GOP; prime examples Donald Trumpf, Sarah Palin, George Dumbya Bush, Dan Quayle, Bedtime for Bonzo.

    Whether or not one has an affinity for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Jimmy Carter, they were all reasonably intelligent and lucid people.

    I doubt it because liberal ideas have always been too "forward" thinking for many people's comfort.

    Liberals are more about improving today and tomorrow as opposed to conservatives who are about preserving yesterday, which is always a safer position, because people are comfortable with what they already have and know.

    Conservatives want to maintain the status quo, while liberals want radical change and they want it now.

    Moderates like myself, understand that a more gradual rate of change is a more realistic expectation.

    Given that a candidate for POTUS needs the support of not only his base, but a majority of undecided/independent voters. a radical liberal candidate with a radical liberal agenda would make too many voters outside of his/her base, uncomfortable.

    I probably wouldn't vote for a radical liberal either unless it was to defeat a total disaster like Trump.

    And even then, I might just not cast a vote for POTUS at all and let the outcome be what it is without my input.

    Had Sanders gotten the nomination, that's what I was considering.

    Definitely not. Not only are Liberals ideology-based, while Conservatives just care about power, but Liberals also purity spiral. As bad as Biden is, there's no question he's much better than Trump. And if Biden were to get elected, we could totally pull him further left. But we already have so many Liberals who refuse to vote for him because he's not as good as Bernie.

    No, because liberals have higher standards than Conservatives.

    I WISH Joe Biden was as liberal/progressive/socialist as the Conservatives say he is.
