Reply #56: He's just "OK" because that's all he needs to be....

[vi5]

He knows the other side is so completely batshit fucking insane and totally off the rails, that all he needs to be is "OK" and enough Dems will vote for him because we're scared out of our gourds about the other side.

He doesn't have to actually go the distance on anything. Just not be a completely loon and for Dems he's a million times better than the alternative.

Then just minimize any actions, words, or activities that they can use to paint him as "leftist" or "liberal so that he doesn't scare off precious independents or "moderates" and that's absolutely all he needs to be. OK.

In other words the bar is set absurdly low and that's all he needs to clear. And he's doing that. It's just fucking pathetic that it's come to that.
