Well, well, well, it looks like even lifelong Democrat Doug Schoen is starting to smell the coffee—and it’s not that “woke” brew the far left is trying to push. Schoen’s been around the block enough times to see that the Democratic Party he’s been loyal to for years is pretty much unrecognizable these days.
Schoen showed up on The Faulkner Focus and, in classic Schoen fashion, delivered some much-needed common sense about Kamala Harris and her flip-flopping ways. You’ve got a candidate trying to sell herself as the face of a “new way forward,” but even Schoen had to chuckle, saying, “We really don’t know what that new way forward is.” Spoiler alert: neither do the American people.
Schoen wasn’t shy about pointing out the obvious—Trump has a plan. Tax cuts and deregulation? That’s music to the ears of everyday Americans. Meanwhile, Harris and her crew are still hawking the tired old talking points about wealth redistribution and higher taxes, as if that’s what people actually want. Schoen nailed it, reminding everyone that Trump’s policies are a heck of a lot more in tune with the desires of the average voter than whatever wealth-redistribution fantasy Harris is trying to pitch.
Let’s not forget that Schoen’s no stranger to bucking the party line. Despite having worked for Bill Clinton, he couldn’t even bring himself to vote for Hillary. Why? Because she couldn’t make up her mind on anything, and she’s been a disaster on foreign policy, especially when it comes to Israel. Schoen’s no fool—he sees the writing on the wall, just like a growing number of Democrats who are waking up to the fact that their party has veered so far left that they need a GPS to find their way back.
And don’t even get me started on Harris’ inability to answer basic questions. CNN, of all places, called her out on her radical positions, and her campaign responded with the political equivalent of a blank stare. How embarrassing. Yet somehow, Democrats still want to trot out the Cheneys and a few washed-up neocons as if their support of Harris is supposed to impress Republicans. News flash: no one on the right gives a rip what Dick Cheney thinks. If anything, his endorsement is like a big shiny arrow pointing to Trump.
What’s really interesting, though, is how many people are bailing on the Democrats altogether. Elon Musk? Gone. Robert F. Kennedy? Not buying what the left is selling. Silicon Valley? Some of them are fed up with the censorship. Alan Dershowitz? He flat-out said, “That’s not my party” after watching the Democratic National Convention, and who could blame him?

The AOC-Bernie-Squad takeover is enough to make any rational person run for the exit. And don’t overlook the growing wave of Black and Hispanic voters who are shifting to the Republican Party because—gasp!—they actually want policies that make economic sense and address their everyday concerns.
Schoen might just be the next one to follow that trend. He’s a bellwether, much like Dershowitz, signaling that more Democrats and independents are realizing the left has gone off the deep end. The Democrats have drifted so far left that centrists can’t even recognize their own party anymore. At this rate, they might as well hand over the keys to AOC and Bernie because the Democrats are losing the middle, and they’re losing it fast.
