Centrists are conservatives

So if centrists such as No Labels get specific, they usually wind up offering small-scale policy ideas that might not offend too many people but won’t likely accomplish much either.

“The narrative of common sense,” Johns Hopkins political scientist Steven Teles told me, “imagines a politics that can somehow get away from conflicts,” despite the fact that politics “is organized conflict.”

You are going to find that Centrist is a word that only causes arguments between Democrats and Republicans- as if they needed something else to argue about.

Let me tell you what is the most important thing about American Politics- THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A VOCAL AND MORAL VOTING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THAT SELECT EVERY PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD. Has the Vocal and Voting Moral Majority ever made an honest mistake along the way? Perhaps!

That pretty much explains a one term president though!

But the Vocal and Voting Moral Majority are not extremists. Now, you can call them Centrists or whatever, BUT THEY ARE NOT FUCKING EXTREMISTS!

SO, if you are an extremist, you may want to save your breath and find something better to do with your time and money, rather than run for president.

Reagan was an extremist. GW Bush was an extremist. Trump was an extremist.

In what ways were Reagan and GW Bush extremists in your opinion?

Trump is an extremist because of his racism. But, I didn't see Reagan or Bush as racists.

I did not say the only property of extremism is racism. In fact, it may have nothing to do with it.

When Reagan ran for office he was widely referred to as a right wing extremist. Reagan is actually the model for Trump.
GW Bush invaded Iraq for no reason. Invaded Afghanistan for a bad reason.

So you are saying that a belief in White Supremacy is not an extreme position! OK, thanks for your opinion, but I do not agree!

The only thing I see Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump having in common, is the fact that they both had previous TV shows, and the fact that they both had lavish lifestyles of the Rich and famous with no idea what it is to be a common man in America- nor did they even seem to care.

As for the Iraqi War- Bush, wanted to be a wartime president like DADDY. But it was even more about Dick Cheney licking his chops to make a fortune from the war as CEO of Haliburton and Dresser Industries as they intended to steal the Iraqi Oil for themselves, or at least have Haliburton take over the oilfields of Iraq.

I do not believe Bush or Reagan were good presidents- But, I do believe that the Vocal and Moral Voting Majority thought they would be.

I certainly did not vote for either one. But they were basically gifted the presidency by all of the Republican lies and Rhetoric of those eras!

How do Republicans ever win? THEY LIE LIKE FUCKING DOGS!
