Moulton is polling at the back of the pack seeking the Democratic nomination for president, and he didn’t make it on the stage for the first primary debate last month. But from his perspective, his party is overestimating its chances at beating Trump in 2020, Moulton said Thursday in a wide-ranging interview with POLITICO reporters and editors.
“When we’re trying to win over Trump voters in the general election, we can’t go on this moral crusade because people are like, ‘Give me a break,’” he said. “What they’re really saying is, ‘I get it, I get this guy is immoral. I’m voting for him anyway because you don’t give me a better alternative.’”
The three-term Massachusetts congressman argued that he had a vision to take on Trump “in a way that doesn’t alienate his voters.” Moulton — who perhaps is best-known for helping lead a failed rebellion against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last year — was deeply critical of the leftward drift of the party on everything from health care to immigration.
Moulton said that while he supports the principle behind ideas such as a wealth tax — which Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proposed to pay for programs such as student debt relief
Wery wrong. People know he is a great guy and probably among the 3-4 best Presidents ever. May be number one. KAG.
Takes one to know one.
Not a waste of time! Will reach everyone except for those in the Republican media millionaire bubble and hoping for more judges that will support Christian Sharia law Fred Trump’s son only won by 70k votes in 3 states Ignore polls this time
Seth is correct.
They are trying to get likes and retweets instead of going out and talk to everyday people. Classic bs
The pot called the kettle black. Assholes are on most platforms these days
That is very true Seth! Clearly democrats have no moral authority to judge anyone. Much hypocrisy in Congress!
Because they have no morals?
Democrats create chaos, protect illegal activities, and prevent normal law enforcement. The Democratic Party is the source of the evil of the United States today.
Because Jesus.
Really? So you would lead based on ignoring crimes against humanity and NOT holding an immoral, fascistic leader's feet to the fire of the constitution? Sorry, sethmoulton, you don't get it.
Why the hell shouldn’t we highlight the profound immorality that defines almost everything this administration (and conservative governance in general) says and does? Trump personally being an asshole isn’t the problem; his evil politics are
Does he really believe that the push to hold Trump accountable is because he's an 'asshole?' He doesn't get it apparently.
We should not ignore the fact that Trump is much worse than a simple asshole.
I didn't know Moulton was anti morals
Moulton is absolutely right about Dems wasting their time going after Trump as campaign strategy. Moulton is absolutely dead wrong that we want his platform of swinging the party even further to the right. He should run as a Republican.

After Epstein’s conviction in 2008, Schumer continued taking money off him (& Weinstein) while grooming Weiner to be a future speaker of the house. Bill Clinton still went to his Island & Hillary still accepted donations to her campaign & foundation. So moral crusade, really?
Morality is the bedrock of Democracy. It's the difference between a dictatorship and a free country! sethmoulton doesn't understand that the loss of morality will lead to the loss of this country. Without morality, without enforcing laws, democracies fall. Just watch Putin!
Problem is the fascists on the left are running a campaign currently trying to destroy our best hope to take down Trump. That being Biden.
sethmoulton check your poll numbers to see how popular your message is, dude
More democrat projection
Why bother this guy has no morals and only loves money 💩🤡
Trump is winning because the Democrats have gone far left batshit crazy.
Well well well. Thanks for the left handed compliment, I think. However I wouldnt go around name calling when folks in your party aren't exactly the pillars of morality. Need I mention names? Clinton, Clinton to name two...i could mention others.
He’s spot on.
Trump is the very bottom of the pit of hate and division that is separating this country. Repubs need to stand up and protect America and all she stands for against this President that has caused so much to hurt average and poor Americans. DIVIDED WE FALL as a Nation !! VOTE BLUE
Rep Moulton is right. Democrats will not win Moral Battle against Trump. Medicare for all, healthcare can win elections for Democratic Party.
I agree with this headline.
I know exactly what you mean that's why an impeachment inquiry is needed.

AOC over played her hand with the allegations of racism. She's called Trump a racist so using her 'logic', she's equating Pelosi with Trump. I am sure the ideological tensions are genuine but throwing that barb out was as one congressional Black Caucus member said 'juvenile'. We know what this means fuckface...plus I think Pelosi is compromised anyway. There I said it!
