The alt right isn't possible to "reign in", that's the appeal.
It also makes them an unruly mob, but that's the nature of the beast.

I think he is running out of material. If the Republicans were smart they would harness the power of the alt right and reign them it. Apparently Sean Hannity doesn't realize the strength of this movement, that just encourages me as a Democrat.
It provokes Muslim extremists, which leads to terrorist attacks, which justify Muslim bans and prolonged wars in the middle east.

They have impressive numbers and the old school conservatives were having trouble getting popular support. The Tea Party exercised tremendous influence within the GOP but the generally reflected a conservative, trickle down, pro status quo agenda. The alt right is different, wildly nationalistic and threatening even the GOP's conservative base. They got the tax bill through and while Moore is damaged goods, dripping with the mud of sexual allegations he is still standing. I suspect these are lightning flashes on the horizon, the interim elections should be a slam dunk for Democrats but they snached defeat from the jaws of victory in 2016, don't believe it can't happen in 2018.The alt right isn't possible to "reign in", that's the appeal.

Does the Democrat party stand for anything, really ... other than re-electing its members any way it can and smearing the opposition with any lie, no matter how outrageous?I suspect these are lightning flashes on the horizon, the interim elections should be a slam dunk for Democrats but they snached defeat from the jaws of victory in 2016, don't believe it can't happen in 2018.
They have long been involved in social equality issues, they are prochoice and their agenda is well known. Their fiscal policies have resulted in stable and prosperous economies under Clinton and Obama while George W. Bush and Regan overseen terrible recessions. There is a fair amount of mudslinging on both sides but the prostatus quo GOP couldn't be more different then the Democrat policies that share the benefits and burdens of US governance.Does the Democrat party stand for anything, really ... other than re-electing its members any way it can and smearing the opposition with any lie, no matter how outrageous?
If Democrats expect to win in 2018 shouldn't they stand for something? Is there anything?
Noting that the Democrats have only themselves to blame for becoming a minority party, losing control of all three branches of federal government and the vast majority of state governments nationwide.The Democrats aren't doing this to the GOP, they are doing it to themselves.
Indeed! Why lie about Republicans? One would think Democrats would be able to point to the fruit of their efforts ... improving lives and such ... rather than just declaring how evil Republicans are.If they are so innocent, then why lie.

Never said it did.Did The GOP before Donald's cult of personality took it over?
Never said it did.
The difference I do see is that some of the Republicans do stand on principle, whereas none of the Democrats dare step out of line from the party bosses.
Remember the TEA party sweep?And yet, they took Congress and a good number of those states long before Donald took the spotlight.
It's not an either/or situation as you suppose.The problem with that Donald is the party boss now -- those "Republicans standing on principle" are either RINOs or The Swamp. Take your pick.

Indeed - a rare case when we agree.True, they could be perceived as both... either way, Donald's loyalists are glad to see them off and replace them with Republicans with principles that line up with their own... such as Moore.

You seem to be confusing hate with frustration and anger.Which is what I was saying. The more the GOP rejects McCain, Flake and Romney in the center, the more it has to embrace Roy Moore and Richard Spencer on what was once the far right. The party of purity must embrace the hate.
You seem to be confusing hate with frustration and anger.
People are frustrated and angry with both political parties.
And yet they continue to embrace one of them.

Noting that the anointed candidate of neither party was allowed to occupy the White House ... though the Democrats did attempt to perpetuate a decades old dynasty.
