Left leaning centrist sounds good for the Republicans.
It would help both sides if the parties did not run a long term, elitist, politician. These career politicians are a big problem. I would rather have someone who had been in business, met a payroll and not just someone who is totally beholden to the political system for their job and career.
It would help if the Republicans ran someone who could speak and does not know how to use Twitter.
