Fox News did not air a second of the speeches from alienated GOP leaders and former Trump officials who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris at this week’s Democratic National Convention.

None of that has anything to do with the Dems. You act like Dems are pushing the GOP further right which is hilarious.

The GOP is doing that on their own because that's who they are and conservatives have always been.

The theory of why Democrats move towards Republican positions is that they do it as a response to Republican victory.

We both agree this isn't how Republicans behave.

Let's also remember 2020. Every candidate ran to the left of Clinton. The reality was that they didn't move to the right after Trump's first victory.

So it doesn't look like this is how Democrats behave either.

This theory of politics isn't backed up by the observed reality. Why do you think that is?
