The Democrats "problem" is that in order for a candidate to win the nomination...it appears they will have to go hard to the left...making totally unrealistic promises to appease the progressive wing of the party. Then to win a general election they're going to have to sell themselves to more moderate voters by posing as centrists. Hard to come through THAT without appearing to be full of shit!
Not really. By that logic, Obama never would have won.
The reality is, moderates lose. Nobody gets all that excited about "moderates". That last time someone won running as a "moderate" was Bill Clinton, and that involved a three way race where the Republican did what Republicans do best, get us into an unnecessary war and wrecking the economy.
End of the day, that mass in the middle will have to ask itself, can we really put up with four more years of a crazy person in the White House.
More like the middle asking themselves...why would I vote out the guy that has the economy booming...and replace him with the same idiots who didn't have a clue what to do with the economy the last time they were in charge!
You on the left have to paint Trump as "crazy" because if you tried to run on your policies compared to his...you wouldn't be able to elect a Democrat as town dog catcher!
