Seventy-two percent agreed with the president\u2019s  plans for securing the border with Mexico.<br> Trump was not only unapologetic in defense of his wall. He seemed to  relish savaging the rising radicalism of Democrats on two critical  issues many Democrats have, since their 2018 triumph, seized upon:  abortion on demand, right up to the day of birth, and soak-the-rich  socialism.<br> \u201cHere, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt  socialism in our country,\u201d Trump thundered. \u201cAmerica was founded on  liberty and independence \u2014 not government coercion, domination, and  control. We are born free, and we will stay free.\u201d<br> \u201cAmerica will never be a socialist country,\u201d Trump roared, as the camera focused in on the scowling face of Sen. Bernie Sanders.<br> The GOP ovation was thunderous, the Democratic silence revealing.  Understandable. For, as in the 1972 Nixon landslide, Democrats appear to  be coming down with \u201cMcGovernism.\u201d<br> Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the rookie sensation in Nancy Pelosi\u2019s  House, has called for a U.S. income tax rate of 70 percent. As  California and New York City have state and local tax rates of 12  percent that are no longer deductible on federal taxes, their most  successful residents could be forced to fork over four-fifths of all  income every year in taxes.<br> Some Democrats have called for an 80 percent federal tax rate. New  Yorkers who earn $1 million a year would be allowed to keep less than a  dime of every added dollar they earn.<br> Sanders would impose a 45 percent tax on all estates over $3.5 million, rising to 77 percent on estates worth $1 billion.<br> Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proposed a wealth tax to scoop off 2  percent of all the wealth of folks whose net worth reaches $50 million,  and 3 percent of all the wealth of every billionaire, every year.<br> To ex-Mayor Mike Bloomberg, a potential rival in the presidential  race, whose New York is witnessing an exodus of its wealthy to Sun Belt  states, Warren\u2019s ideas represent a gospel-of-greed stupidity.<br> Says Bloomberg: \u201cIf you want to look at a system that is not  capitalistic, just take a look at what was perhaps the wealthiest  country in the world and today people are starving to death. It\u2019s called  Venezuela.\u201d<br> Democrats have also embraced the cause of \u201cMedicare-for-all.\u201d<br> Asked how private health companies that now insure 177 million people  would fare under her health care system, Sen. Kamala Harris was  dismissive: \u201cLet\u2019s eliminate all of that. Let\u2019s move on.\u201d<br> Trump also delivered in-your-face defiance to feminists who seek to guarantee unrestricted access to abortion on demand.<br> Recalling the celebration, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s guarantee of  abortion rights up to the moment before birth became law, Trump  declared:  <br>\u201cLawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of  legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother\u2019s womb  moments before birth.<br> \u201cThese are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and dreams with the world.<br> \u201cAnd then, we had the case of the governor of Virginia where he  stated he would execute a baby after birth. To defend the dignity of  every person, I am asking the Congress to pass legislation to prohibit  the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother\u2019s  womb. Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent  life.<br> \u201cAnd let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: All children \u2014 born and unborn \u2014 are made in the holy image of God.\u201d<br> Has any president, in any State of the Union, made a stronger statement in defense of life?<br> Are Democrats losing their minds? Only 13 percent of Americans  believe in letting babies be aborted up to and through the ninth month  of pregnancy. In what states are infanticide and socialism winning  issues?<br> In this writer\u2019s home state, Virginia, the resignation of Democratic  Governor Ralph Northam, for \u201cracism,\u201d is being demanded by state and  national Democrats, because he put on blackface for a Michael Jackson  imitation at a dance 35 years ago.<br> Democratic Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, whose ancestors were  slaves on the Revolutionary War plantation of Lord Fairfax, has been  accused of raping a young woman at the Democratic convention in 2004.<br> The next in line to succeed the governor, the attorney general, also a  Democrat, has just admitted to wearing blackface when he was in school.<br> And Sen. Warren, says The Washington Post, listed \u201cAmerican Indian\u201d  as her race on a State Bar of Texas registration card in 1986.<br> Yet, according to her DNA and the Cherokee chief, she ain\u2019t one.<br> Somebody up there likes Donald Trump. <\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><cite><br><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>View the complete article including image and links at:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/buchanan.org\/blog\/has-trump-found-the-formula-for-2020-135970\">https:\/\/buchanan.org\/blog\/has-trump-found-the-formula-for-2020-135970<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick J.
