You are also wrong about centrists. In this election I saw a better message from the republicans that addressed the issues that affected the swing states the most and I saw a harder fought effort to work the swing states. Hillary’s message was weak. Her campaign relied on the east and west coast too much. She all but ignored the swing states that she thought she had in the bag by relying on erroneous polls. She assumed too much and you know what they say about assuming. Heck, she had millions left in her campaign that could have been spent in the swing states. The fact that an unknown Obama beat her in the 2008 primaries should have been a red flag as to Hillary’s abilities when it comes to campaigning.
