Newt Gingrich: The rare Republican opportunity to make Democrats own the Socialist brand
Fox News
In the next few weeks, Republicans have an opportunity to rebrand the Democrats as Big Government Socialists.
Every Democratic senator and representative has already voted for the outline of Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders’ $3.5 trillion Big Government Socialist bill. No matter what lies they tell back home about being moderates, their names are right there on pages S6237 (Aug. 10) and H4371 (Aug. 24) of the Congressional Record. When it mattered there were no moderate Democrats. The only Democrats serving in Congress were unanimously willing to vote for Big Government Socialism.
The Big Government Socialist brand will isolate the Washington Democrats from their own moderates and from the rest of the country. Faced with this clear betrayal of their values, millions of grassroots Democrats will find themselves having to organize a moderate wing of the Democratic Party (something Bill Clinton tried to do as governor of Arkansas in the 1980s).
