1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Columnist Walter Shapiro is warning the Democrat presidential candidates they

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: better be honest and they'd better stop playing the left

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: wing extremists. He says, the candidates like Elizabeth Warren and

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Crazy Bernie better admit that they're big spending plans are

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: not really gonna happen. They're just aspirational pie in the

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: sky ideas. They're not really policy blueprints. Mr Shapiro has

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: been around forever, by the way, says, Democrat presidential wannabes

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: have more plans than the Allies drew up for d Day.

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: And if these Democrats were to win the election, their

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: campaign promises would come back to bite them in the butt.

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: The fringe cook base that these candidates are appealing to

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: the Twitter verse actually will actually expect them to fulfill

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: all of these multi trillion dollar promises. And that's the rub.

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: If a progressive Democrat president actually tried to implement any

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: of these plans, they would end up losing the House

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: and Senate by a landslide in the next midterms, a

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: replay of what happened when Democrats forced Obamacare down the

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: country's throat. So Mr Shapiro wants his beloved Democrat candidates

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: to play it safe. He wants them to set realistic

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: expectations so if one of them does make it to

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: the White House, he or she will not be saddled

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: with big, empty socialist promises. Mr Shapiro relaxed at this rate.

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: Despite what the polls and you're drive by media buddies say,

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: the chances are pretty slim any of these Democrats would

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: win a national election. You don't do that by telling

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: everybody how much you hate the country.
