I already see Dems moving to the middle, and Trump moving further to the right, the only guarantee at this point is things will change.
If you want to bring up past statements think of this one from 1999, when Trump was running for President (the senile guy has forgotten about that), when he was to the left of Warren: Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has a plan to pay off the national debt, grant a middle class a tax cut, and keep Social Security afloat: tax rich people like himself.
Trump, a prospective candidate for the Reform Party presidential nomination, is proposing a one-time "net worth tax" on individuals and trusts worth $10 million or more.
By Trump's calculations, his proposed 14.25 percent levy on such net worth would raise $5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt in one full swoop.

"Probably some of those FAKE polls"
First you said I was spinning (meaning my conclusions were flawed). Now you're saying my conclusions were based on fake polls. Which is it, Pete? Other than the fact that you don't like the conclusions drawn from that poll (done by Quinnipiac and CNN, by the way), what evidence do you have that the poll is worthless?
'Remember there are 482 days to go till the election"
Never said otherwise, so I have no idea who or what you are responding to. I said Harris played the race card, and the poll shows it worked.
"I already see Dems moving to the middle"
If that's what you see, I presume you're Mr Magoo. Reparations, abortions until the head is visible, student loan debt elimination, single payer healthcare, open borders, the green new deal. Yessir, that wishlist is right smack-dab in the middle.
"If you want to bring up past statements "
huh? I'm talking about the debate that happened a week ago.
"By Trump's calculations, his proposed 14.25 percent levy on such net worth would raise $5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt in one full swoop"
Umm, the debt is a lot more than that.

That's a satirical comment based on Trump's saying polls saying he was behind are FAKE

For the Moment, there are 482 days to go

You just recited every Fox news talking point, how would anyone get those thru Congress?

All politicians have histories which is what Harris brought up, Biden, Trump etc.

It wasn't in 1999 and that was Trump's solution at that time when he was concerned with the debt.
Of course he has increased the debt considerably since being elected and flipflopped totally on his position since then, but you don't care.
I can foresee the But...........

"You just recited every Fox news talking point"
I see! So leading, prominent democrats, aren't currently advocating for reparations, late-term abortions, single-payer healthcare, open borders, and the green new deal? I'm making that up? Sanders, Harris, Warren, they aren't in favor of these things? Jeez, I've been sorely misinformed...but wait, here's the thing...
Warren backs reparations, source is not foxnews...
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKCN1QA2WF
an article saying that many democratic candidates are in favor of free college, again source isn't foxnews...
https://www.thecollegefix.com/democr...n-forgiveness/
An article from the New York Times (do they get their talking points from Foxnews, Pete?), saying that democrats favor single payer healthcare...
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/u...yer-party.html
An article, also not from foxnews, showing that most candidates support the green new deal.
https://www.axios.com/2020-president...437c82431.html
Would you care to recant you nonsensical, gibberish claim that I'm regurgitating Foxnews talking points?
