Well, Michael Goodwin, the finest columnist in America.

You can read his column every Sunday and every Wednesday in the New York Post, and he's with us right now.

Michael Goodwin. How you doing?

Good morning, Mark. Thank you.

Hey, Donald Trump apparently is planning to brand Democrats now as the fringe party.

You know, all the far-left, kooky thing, which is a good

idea, I think. Do you think Democrats will try to straighten their act out before the election?

Well, I think they'll give the appearance of trying to do that, but I think if you look at the

party as a whole,

you'd have to say they believe this stuff.

I mean, they're fully committed to these policies

that Biden, you know, the spending all the climate change,

the John Kerry.

I mean, these are not, within the party, these are not fringe ideas. This is the mainstream of the party. Now, I agree that the party itself

has gone so far left, but there are a lot of people who believe in all those things. And so I think it's

unlikely that the party will denounce the president's platform or the things that Congress has

actually approved. So I think that they look like a fringe party to a lot of americans and i think

that must be trump's goal is to brand you know don't trump is a big believer in branding

right that's uh it's it's sort of key to his own business success and and presidential success So I think that it's not a bad brand to

label the Democratic Party as a fringe party. In terms of its numbers, it's not fringe,

but its policies, I think, certainly qualify. You know, they do that, of course, to him, like in the Long Island race to replace Santos. I notice they're running an ad against the Republican saying she's an extreme mega-republican. Right. I don't know what the hell that means. I don't think even Trump's an extreme mega-Republican. So I guess it's a good idea.

Give them a taste of their own medicine.
