At this point, the only remaining moderates are Republicans

Moderates are understandably skeptical of President Trump. From his loud-mouthed tweeting to his adulterous past, there’s plenty to criticize. I’m not a huge fan of Trump either. However, the 2020 Democrats are incredibly radical on many key policy issues. And contrary to what many think, Trump and the GOP are actually very friendly to moderates on many policy points.

Just look at the issues. All of the 2020 Democratic front-runners support taxpayer-funded abortion with no restrictions up until the moment of birth. No U.S. president has ever taken such a radical position, including President Barack Obama. This position would put America far out of touch with the rest of the Western world on abortion. Only one European nation, the Netherlands, even allows abortion after 20 weeks (up to 24 weeks). The Democratic status quo on abortion is barbaric and wildly out of touch.
