Oh yeah, I don’t think it’s a winning strategy. Better question is how’d that work out for the Democrats last election with Hillary? Still all the Democratic pundits for the last few months have been pushing the idea that they need a moderate because “electability”, and that the Sanders progressive types have no chance vs Trump. MSNBC even went as far as adding up Klob/Pete/Biden’s numbers in NH vs Sanders/Warren and called it a loss for Sanders, because “see the moderates beat the progressives.”
