Then that does not bode well for the 20 or so NewGreenDeal candidates who've announced for 2020, or for their polling teams.
Ask Cohen how easy it is to put your thumb on the scale of early polling results.

So, I just got home from a long day of youth sporting clays competition. There were 180 competitors from age 12-18. It made me happy to see so many young people at this one event (out of probably several dozen that take place every weekend across the nation) honing their skills with firearms in a spirit of good natured competition. It also makes me happy to know that if the time ever comes, millions of Americans will be prepared to go from a spirit of good natured and fun competition to passionately defending our heritage. Make no mistake, while the sky screamers are making a lot of noise, the good guys and gals across the land will be prepared to take them head on if need be.

No no.

I'm talking internals, not the published BS. Internal polls are the stuff constituting keeping a proverbial ear to the ground.

To some extent yes. But those same people keeping their ear to the ground won't have a job if they don't encourage the candidate.

Those of us with common sense know the communism AOC pushes doesn't work but the democrats are using a Soviet tool of knowing colleges indoctrinated these kids and they will fall for the free, free, free, and that if the wealthy pay more taxes all will be fair and great.
So just calling it socialism is not good enough. Now you say it's communism using soviet tools.

You are seriously unbalanced. These spittle-laced tirades of your are borderline psychotic.

No one will have have to worry about that -- because it will never pass.

Yet many Dem leaders have expressed support.

It would be 10x the power grab of the Patriot act.

Some have. But, it will cost trillions. And there no way to come close to justifying the costs. At some point AOC is going to have to propose something that has a chance to actually become law, or she will lose her platform.

Bernie when asked about the Green New Deal said government can't go too far in battling climate change. Within 5 years, Climate Change will give the Democrats the desire to confiscate financial resources and energy companies. They've just been waiting for something powerful enough to scare people into action

I don't see it to that extent. Just like climate change is over-hyped, the extent to which extreme measures to counteract it will be implemented is also over-hyped.

But we shall see.

I believe you're underestimating the emotional wing of the left. They have a tremendous amount of momentum and when back in power will do whatever they can to consolidate power.

But we will see

Someone needs to list out all the democrat policies and show what they actually mean and how they'd affect real people

If Trump had advanced his agenda like Obama did following the election we might have had a shot. Particularly after looking at the details of the last budget he signed... I think the political opportunity to fix this has been lost.
