Columnist Walter Shapiro is warning the Democrat presidential candidates they better be honest and they'd better stop

Playing the left-wing extremists. He says the candidates like Elizabeth Warren and Crazy Bernie better admit that their big spending plans are not really gonna happen

They're just aspirational pie in the sky ideas are not really

Policy blueprints

Mr. Shapiro has been around forever by the way since Democrat presidential wannabes have more plans than the allies drew up for D-Day

And if these Democrats were to win the election their campaign promises would come back to bite them in a butt

The fringe cook base that these candidates are appealing to the Twitter verse actually will actually expect them to fulfill all of these

multi trillion dollar promises and that's the rub if a progressive Democrat president actually tried to implement any of these plans

They would end up losing the House and Senate by a landslide in the next midterms

Are replay of what happened when Democrats forced Obama cared down the country's throat

So mr. Shapiro wants his beloved Democrat candidates to play it safe

He wants them to set realistic expectations. So if one of them does make it to the White House

He or she will not be saddled with big empty socialist promises

Mr. Shapiro relax at this rate despite what the polls and you're drive by media buddies say the chances are pretty slim

Any of these Democrats would win a national election. You don't do that by telling everybody how much you hate the country
