Glasser: Are We Going To Have a Demagogue of the Left To Take on the Populist Right-Wing Demagogue, Trump?

RUSH EXCERPT:

GLASSER: “So you have, basically, the debate of ideas and— and Gerry is right there is a huge debate inside the party about the best way to appeal to the voters that they need to appeal to in order to defeat Trump. That’s one debate. But it’s not purely about ideas. Right? A lot of it is about style. And that’s where I think you see the most pronounced shift. Are we headed towards a tea party of the left? I think that’s what connects the dots between some of what’s happening inside Congress this week and what’s happening with some of these 2020 candidates. And you see people like John Hickenlooper visibly uncomfortable with the new style of politics. Elizabeth Warren, I think, is a very interesting character, right? Her politics are not wildly different from those of Bernie Sanders,’ but her style is dramatically different. You know, on your show, I was just struck by how calm and measured she is, how very— you know, she is, remember, a former Harvard law school professor. And she— she appears to be that way, and— and it’s very different than the sort of Bernie Sanders, you know, shouting politics. And I think that’s what, fundamentally, as much as ideology, is a conflict around the kind of party. Are we going to have a demagogue of the left to take upon a populist right-wing demagogue, which is what the President of the United States is basically.”
