Columnist Walter Shapiro is warning the Democrat presidential candidates they better be honest and they'd better stop playing the left wing extremists. He says, the candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Crazy Bernie better admit that they're big spending plans are not really gonna happen. They're just aspirational pie in the
sky ideas. They're not really policy blueprints. Mr Shapiro has been around forever, by the way, says, Democrat presidential wannabes have more plans than the Allies drew up for d Day. And if these Democrats were to win the election, their campaign promises would come back to bite them in the butt. The fringe cook base that these candidates are appealing to the Twitter verse actually will actually expect them to fulfill all of these multi trillion dollar promises. And that's the rub.
If a progressive Democrat president actually tried to implement any of these plans, they would end up losing the House and Senate by a landslide in the next midterms, a replay of what happened when Democrats forced Obamacare down the country's throat. So Mr Shapiro wants his beloved Democrat candidates to play it safe. He wants them to set realistic expectations so if one of them does make it to the White House, he or she will not be saddled
with big, empty socialist promises. Mr Shapiro relaxed at this rate. Despite what the polls and you're drive by media buddies say, the chances are pretty slim any of these Democrats would win a national election. You don't do that by telling everybody how much you hate the country.
