Lurching Left and Pandering, Democratic Presidential Candidates Lose All Sense of Moderation or Reason

By Dan Cadman on July 3, 2019

The first Democratic presidential debates are over, and exactly how far to the left the party has lurched on immigration became painfully visible (and risible to the extent that one can laugh about positions that are so far out of whack and which would inflict so much harm to the body politic) as each candidate strove to outdo the other with giveaway program promises that can't possibly be kept, given the state of our divided nation (and Congress). 

The pandering tone toward the most extreme portion of their base was so remarkable that the editors at National Review have called Democrats “The Party of Illegal Immigration”.

There are so many issues raised by the candidates' positions that are deserving of comment that it would be impossible to address them all without committing oneself to a thesis-sized paper, so I'm not going to try. I'd rather focus, instead, on just two that are representative of the out-of-balance tilt of the party toward open borders and illegal aliens rather than the commonweal.
