• Move even further right to differentiate from “moderate” Dems.

    Which is bad if it means the Dems swing rightward. Fortunately, I have reason to believe the opposite is happening.

    Remember, Senator Elizabeth Warren was once considered a die hard conservative: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/04/16/elizabeth-warren-was-once-republican-she-shouldnt-hide-it/

    But her current views seem quite leftie to me. This means me think the shift is going in the opposite direction.

    The result is the Dem candidates start sounding like moderate republicans. Which the author also seems to think is a good thing.

    Sounding is good in 2024 to retain the never trumpers who pushed Biden past the post in 2020. The danger is less sounding, and more actually becoming. Fortunately I don’t think that’s happening…

    The author is expecting trump to act logically…

    Agreed. Anyone who expects this is bound to be disappointed.
