“The point of the article, in my view, is to stretch the platform and accommodate more viewpoints
rather than follow the GOP plan of moving their party steadily to the fascist right.”

I pointed out 2 possibilities, and the fact that a socialist won the primary indicates that the Democratic Party in that District moved farther left.

But we are both also aware that there are a certain number of Democrats who have supported some of Trump's ideas. So in my view this primary election is a good thing.
