@kentwillard If she thought these ideas would only please “lefties” already firmly in her pocket, I doubt she’d have risked alienating “centrists” (who do not in fact constitute the center of mass of the broad public, they steal that intuition for the conventional views of a small professional establishment), who hate them. She had to make judgments about what swing voters want, and her judgment is they are not remotely with the misnamed center. /fin
