Wrong. There's no such thing as a moderate Republican. Y'all too busy throwing anyone who doesn't toe the line under the bus. The extremism of the alt-right makes it appear that that there is no moderate Democrat. But it's only because y'all are so far off the scale as to remove all objectivity.
If you listen to campaign speeches; circa 2008, by former candidate Obama or Hillary, on immigration, for example, Trump believes the same thing now as Obama did then. He also believes the same thing that Bernie Sanders believed in terms of American jobs being shipped overseas and this needing to change. Trump also added laws for family leave, which was a pet issue of his daughter. He is getting the USA out of wars, which had been the goals of the Democrats since Viet Nam. Trump is fairly moderate in terms of other Conservatives. The difference is his style and business background approach to problem solving.
The main problem for the Democrats in 2020, is the Democrats broke laws trying to undermine Trump before, during and after the election. The FISA Court abuse is only the tip of the iceberg. They partnered with fake news and have been selling nothing but speculation, gossip and negative propaganda. They were sore losers, who broke the law, and then took a 180 degree turn on previous Democrats held positions. It is now all about tripping up Trump, with little effort working for the American people.
The Democrats wanted the border wall before there was a Trump. Read the records. Once Trump became successful with this position, the Democrats became two faced and worked to undermine their own previous positions, even if it hurt America. They were blinded by hate and revenge. The current field of Democrat candidates is all about avoiding anything that will give Trump credit. Instead they focus on novelty items, impractical freebies, and half baked ideas, since the original rational Democrat moderate positions are now taboo, since they help Trump.
Although leadership is using this negativity and resistance strategy to win the rebel vote in 2020, the more moderate Democrat base; blue color, will vote on the issues, they have held for life, which now have more in common with Trump. Trump successfully commandeered the greatest hits of the Democrats, so he could commandeer these voters.
There is no Democrats that can compete, since their issues are half baked, and no longer resonate with a sizable fraction of their own base. The Republicans are tight with Trump. The Democrats need to get back to the center and at least pretend to give credit where credit is due to impact part of their conservative Democrat base. If not they will look like criminals and sore losers, who even screwed their own moderate base, just to get even and express hate.
