I think a candidate whose views were in the middle of the political spectrum on most issues would do fairly well in a general election, but the when the media says "centrist" they're ruling out any Democrat for being too far left regardless of their views. A Clinton/Obama/Biden-type Democrat would probably be unbeatable in a general election if they were the Republican nominee. Yeah, when I think "centrist" I think a candidate who doesn't want to raise taxes because they're "socially liberal but fiscally conservative." Also all the suburbanites that voted Trump because they were concerned about property taxes, but then voted for Democrats in 2018. People that the party is now terrified of losing. They'll be voting GOP in 2020 once they hear about the Democrats' policies... --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:923798570] in Politics C...
