Sure. But I don’t want to change the subject just yet! 😉
And if you think the positions the leading Democrats are currently taking reflect mainstream Democratic ideas, that’s fine. We just disagree. Howard Schultz seems to disagree too. Otherwise he wouldn’t be thinking of running.

Most of those guys are opportunists and they will back whomever helps them gain and/or retain power. I would bet dollars to donuts that if you could talk to over 90% of republican congresspeople in private and confidentially they would tell you they don't believe in Trump, but he is their ticket to power now.
There is no loyalty among thieves.
