Brooks half-joked that today’s Democratic field appears to take the position “somewhere to the left of Che Guevara.”

He said Democrats have done a good job in distancing themselves from moderates who could be swayed from supporting Trump.

Brooks said that under the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, Washington “planners” would take over the energy business, take over the transportation business and take over health care.

“This is simply the government taking control of large swaths of the American economy, and that’s something I don’t think the government is capable of doing,” he said.
