As proof of Hillary’s relative moderate standing.

That’s a decent chunk of Hil voters that swung to
McCain.

I don’t have time at the moment, but I take issue
with the idea that the more moderate candidate
wins.

Seems to me Obama was left of Hill in 08, and given
that such a large chunk of her support went to
‘Maverick’ McCain....seems Obama was less
moderate than him too.

Now, o was a brilliant candidate but the argument
stands- don’t worry so much about electability.

To the specific point tho- if moderate equals continuity,
then I just refuse to believe folks thought Trump
would be less of a gamble than Hillary.

He was a fucking hand grenade to the system.

I also don’t think that because people hated hillary
so much = they thought she was too progressive,

Lady has been attacked since the 90s, etc.

I have more thoughts but gotta run.
