"Democrat versions of Robespierre: Get ready for the political version of the guillotine because the sun is setting on your world."

 Bernie Sanders Is Spending Time in Texas. Why?

The civil war within the Democrat Party is on full display.

The war pits the overt socialists versus crony capitalists and corrupto-crats and was entirely predictable. Beginning in the ‘60s, sensible conservative Democrats in Congress – the REAL moderates unlike those labeled as such by the legacy media these days – were forced out and replaced by ever more liberal (socialist) Democrats over the years.

A conservative Democrat was one who was generally strong on national security matters and more socially and fiscally conservative than other Democrats. Most were from states in the South and Midwest and were grouped as “Dixiecrats” and then, later in the 1980s, “Blue Dog Democrats.”
Examples include George Wallace, Lyndon Johnson, Sam Ervin, Sam Nunn, and Fritz Hollings. They and the rest disappeared over time, as the Democrat Party moved inexorably leftward. These days, there is only one left in the Senate – Joe Manchin (D-WV) – and he has become a reliable vote for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on all of the truly important issues (like the impeachment votes).

    1. capt fast, I assume you mean JFK Democrats. Once he and RFK were taken out, the rest if the political Kennedys, starting with Ted Kennedy, went or have gone, way left.
