Opinion: Democrats are conspiring to reelect Trump
By Dana Milbank Dana Milbank Op-ed columnist covering national politics Email Bio Follow Columnist March 22 at 4:45 PM Watch in slow motion as Democrats, goaded by the media, conspire to reelect President Trump:
Wednesday morning, Willie Geist of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” put the electoral college question to South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg. “It’s got to go,” Buttigieg affirmed. Many of these have merit. The problem is that they have become a battery of binary tests of ideological purity — allowing Trump to caricature Democrats as extremist.
Consider the Green New Deal, now co-sponsored in the Senate by Warren, Harris, Cory Booker , Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar . They’ve committed to “guaranteeing a job,” higher education and paid vacations “to all people of the United States.” Here’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday: “Would you support adding seats to the Supreme Court?” “Would you support getting rid of the electoral college?” “Medicare-for-all?” “Do you support reparations for slavery?” Obama said that he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. Do you?
