I couldn't listen to all of the Dean Phillips interview. He does show that the Democrat Party and its minions like MSNBC are undemocratic: no primaries, no debates. But when he said an ideal ticket would be Gretchen Whitmer and Raphael Warnock, I couldn't take it any more. He might best be described as Biden without the mental deterioration. Phillips' policies seem completely aligned with today's Democrat Party, i.e., all the way with DEI and identity politics, and blowing J6 up into the his own and the USA's brush with death. For Democrat lite, there's always RFK, Jr.

Phillips sounds reasonably sane, for a Democrat, but is clearly a Democrat -- every problem needs a big government solution funded by wealth transfer. He lost me with his foreign policy, he wants to "reset" with China rather than defeating China, and we need to "invest in peace" instead of spending such "vast amounts" on defense.

The interview was the first time I've heard Bari Weiss express some concern over the illegal immigration crisis. Mostly she is worried it will cost Biden the election, and she cannot understand why he doesn't do something about it. Perhaps with more reflection she will realize Biden created the situation in order to bring millions of Democrat votes into the country, and to him it is not a problem but a very successful policy.

If Democrats thought illegal aliens would vote Republican, they'd have the wall built next week.
