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.
