Trump stands to win big as the Democrats turn off moderates

Democratic Party insiders are nervous about their electoral prospects in 2020 for good reason. The tenure of Democrats in control of the House of Representatives has been defined by infighting, extremism, and relentless attacks on President Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders promised the American people meaningful legislation and problem solving, but have instead chosen to use their power in Congress to sow chaos and play political games. In doing so, they have greatly empowered the radical progressive fringe, and now they stand to pay the price.
Pelosi knows that she must find a way to quickly restrain the ascendent radicals in her party. Otherwise, the accelerating slide toward left wing socialism will send swing voters sprinting back to Trump ahead of the critical 2020 election. The rest of the Democratic leadership is equally well aware of this fact. According to Axios, internal polls are revealing that the radical socialist agenda driven by identity politics is poisoning the party reputation among the important swing voters who decide close elections.
