So you are mystified.  OK well sure, if you wish to continue to insist, you will continue to be mystified when the next guy, who is a lot more suited for the job, pummels your party as well, for the same reasons: about half of it is embracing socialism.

It isn’t that he is popular John.  It is that he is an effective socialism fighter.  The voters aren’t sure about your party, about half of which seem to be embracing the notion.  The suspicion may be linked to the rise within it of the Democrat Socialists of America, led by guys like Hasan Piker and Abdul El Sayed.  That name Democratic Socialists of America might offer a vague hint that the faction might not be as effective at fighting socialism as we prefer.  Could that be it John?  Perhaps it is that the republic party is led by a guy who opined “America will never be a socialist nation.”
