I am from the South.  You think Blue Dog Democrats still exist?  Name 1.   :silly:

Zell Miller and Sam Nunn are from a distant past.

IMO, the term still defines any Democrat voter who crossed over to vote for Ronald Reagan in lieu of Jimmy Carter and Mondale  :shrug:

Trump is benefiting in the polls right now because people are unhappy with Biden

But as the campaign really starts to get going, and people start paying attention, its going to be nothing more than Biden sucks

We saw the same thing in the 2004 campaign

Yep. The ol' 'We're not quite as bad as Democrats' defense... woo!  *****rollingeyes*****

Visions of deep blue Maryland, or New Jersey voting for Tumpy in leaps and bounds are far fetched.

Trump is about to pull a '16 Hitlerly by trying to expand the winning EV total from 270 to 350, at the expense of swing states

Big mistake.

Partly because he has one foot nailed down by trials in deep blue states - But the result will be as you say.

LOL!

I just returned from Wegman's grocery store.  A single rib eye steak sprinkled with coarse black pepper was $26.86

Heard Dionne Warwick in my head and just "Walked on by...."   :silly:

Yes, that's outrageous. Farmer Joe's had rib-eyes on sale for $13.99/lb....tasty enough but even for a rib-eye, way too fatty.  Occasionally NY strips will be on sale or T-bones but even on sale, it sure does take a chunk out of the grocery budget.  I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that hasn't been affected by Bidenomics and inflation.  Then there are those that claim that the economy is just fine.  *****rollingeyes*****

The problem Trump has is that he has no plans or even really the desire to bring down inflation.

Spending and printing more is not the answer


Mitt Romney tried the strategy of not uniting his base, but hoping there would be enough Democrats that were unhappy with Barack Obama that would cross over and vote for him and that didn’t work

My buddy called me yesterday...said he brought back a package of rib-eyes to COSTCO because when he opened the package to sort them for freezing...turned them over and they were BROWN and had an odor.

We think they're re-packaging them in order to change the "SELL-BY" date.

No, the 'Southern Strategy' very specifically broke the back of the Democrats' stronghold in the SOUTH. The appeal was to Christians, offering them a seat at the Conservative table, with a promise to fight against the decadent evil rising up. Blue Dog democrats were Democrat in Name only - Having strong Christian Convictions that the Democrats were railing against. They were in fact disenfranchised by their own party. The heartfelt offer by Reagan's Conservatives brought them over en-masse.

And for the most part, they are Republicans now. All those Southern states that used to be blue are now red.

@DCPatriot   I don't doubt it. I hope that he was able to return them.  Things are a mess and 'corporate' is going to cut corners and make money any way that they can.

One more time..."Blue-Dog" isn't limited to Congress People.

They're voters who cross-over from Democrat to Republican or even Third Party.  :laugh:

The religious Right is the biggest voting bloc by far. Tumpy ain't going nowhere without Christian support - Those Christians not bright enough to see through his facade that follow the likes of Paula White...

If the Christians wanted Tumpy, he'd be president.

The idea that you’re going to make up for the loss of the base with blue dog Democrats never works

You secure all aspects of your base first. Then you try to attract moderates

Again, the Mitt Romney strategy that failed

This is already shaping up to be nothing more than a campaign of Biden sucks

Trump zealots are going after heathen Democrat voters, not Christian Conservative voters.  They've already made it clear how they feel about us.  They would rather embrace Big Government solutions, except by saying that Trump can do Big Government better than Democrats.

The mistake is in trying for Democrats *at all*. There are far more fertile fields among the disenfranchised.

Speaking of 'Biden Sucks' -- I actually drove by a yard the other day with a Trump flag and a 'Biden Sucks' sign.  I'll have to do an Amazon search to get one.
