Blue Dog Democrats will carry Trump to victory

Blue Dogs believe in fiscal responsibility and traditional American values.

Currently, most of the polls indicate that the presidential election is deadlocked, with each candidate getting the same percentage and about six percent of voters undecided. What will likely lure most of the undecided toward former president Donald Trump will be the Blue Dog Democrats.

The official Blue Dog Democrats (created in 1995) are members of Congress. But many average American Democrats who voted for Bill Clinton twice, Barack Obama twice and probably Joe Biden, cannot support the current candidate from the Democratic Party.

Blue Dog Democrats believe they, “represent the commonsense, moderate voice of the Democratic Party, appealing to mainstream American values. The Blue Dogs are leaders in Congress who are committed to pursuing fiscally responsible policies, ensuring a strong national defense, and transcending party lines to do what’s best for the American people.”

Even though the Democratic Party now leans very far left, there are those who still have the values that appeal to mainstream America. In 1996, just after their formation, the Blue Dopgs in Congress helped President Clinton modify his views to fit the majority of Americans and eventually win re-election.
