Politicians aren't usually rational...

In the US, the conservatives are all guns, religion, anti abortion and capitalist. And have a reputation of not being too bright. Which if they are mostly religous then that makes sense. Thats why you got trump!
But in the UK religion doesent enter into it. There is no religion to speak of. A few immigrants, and the old mostly. I honestly do not have any work colegues, drinking or family freinds that ever think about religion at all. Its a thing of the past here in the UK. Other than to laugh at them. Among native english white people you would be hard pushed to find one thats delusional at all. Here conservatives stand for capitalism, business, and running the country with as little tax or interference to business as possible. And mostly its the educated and business people, and sane sensible working people that vote for them.
Our labour party, and our liberal party are similar in many ways to your liberal democrats. They are full of either over educated elites, that love open borders, multiculturalism. They also love their socialism. Its a marvelous ideal where those at the top organise everything and they engineer the system so that the money is distributed so that equality is removed. It all sounds so marvelous. As well as the elites, we have the media, and the universities and colleges that are all turning out these marxist loving politically correct open border student idiots that are offended by everything and dont have a clue about how the world works. Most of them are unionistic and believe that the top 1% should share everything with them... They are the progressives, the antifa and all the rest of the groups of lefties and liberals.
This socialist ideal quite obviously always fails. Its not like it hasnt been tried enough times. But they dont care. Its all about the ideals. And jealousy. They must be kept out of power at all costs. Because given adequate time, and power they can bankrupt any economy like venuzuala. They are not stupid. Just brainwashed and lacking any understanding of REAL socialism. Its easy to be a socialist living in a rich capitalist economy! Its impossible to do the opposite. Its often impossible to even survive. Ask any ex socialist country members. That all collapsed in desperate poverty across half the planet over the last century. With 100 million or more dead because of it. Theres still a few hanging on in poverty like venuzuala or cuba. But sonner or later those will die. Probably literally.

I agree it's unusual to unseat a sitting President... however the blood bath at the midterm and retiring Republican Congressmen is rare as well. I believe many did not vote "for" Trump in 2016 but voted "against" Hillary. IMHO, the Dems would make a huge mistake by putting forward an extreme candidate.
I am looking for someone I can support. I think a Centerist... who can get disaffected Republican support, Independants like me, and Dems... It's the Dem's election to lose.
After the attempted impeachment Trumps approval ratings were the highest he has had his entire term in office. They basically gifted him significant face time, then improved his platform for him.
