I also think it's a bit disingenuous to say you don't care about right and left.
Those are labels but they do say something about how one thinks about government and what it should do.

Of course, most people are in the middle, that's it's definition, the place where most people are. Almost everything is a bell curve.
It's always about the middle and moving it.

And I think we are by far over analyzing the election result. It was no landslide, it was a squeaker. A split.

Dave Chappel nailed on the post-election SNL skit.
We lost simply because we tried to follow a young charismatic black guy who made us feel good about our future with a tired old white woman who could not.
All of the hope about the first woman President was not quite enough to tip that.

Thats because thats all she was... an old woman who thought it was time for a woman, HER, to be president.

That is NOT enough justification to be President.

 

I think Hillary lost for playing the middle, amongst other things.

 

 

HAHAHA yeah. keep playing that BS card, she was too centrist...

Jeez you people are blind, She ran AGAINST the middle class, she called the middle Class racists, elitists, privileged, She called them the unwashed despicables. The people Hilary courted in her campaign voted for her...

The Middle class who she villified, voted against her...

What do you think? Can the "haters" and Trump supporters ever reconcile?

I seem to recall these things called the Tea Party and Birtherism...for the Muslim president. Is it more than turnabout?

PS: Hillary won the popular vote (if it weren't for those blasted illegals voting). Trump won on electoral strategy, which is perfectly fine, but let's not exaggerate his victory.
