Maybe you live in a bubble?
And I wasn't commenting on the repubs, they are a given...
Dems now represent roughly 30+% of voters.....That leaves roughly 70%
The bases of parties choose the candidate and in the end the moderates are only left with an R or D to vote for..More often than not, people are voting against someone not necessarily for the other....
Both parties will read the data and after they pander, will target the independent voters....
Oh, and I might add, the margins are still tight, half the country is voting for Anyone but you...I know , I know, they are all stupid, Right?,,,,, That's how you dems treat nearly half the country and says more about you than it does them....
