    “If you just listen to these general statements, she actually sounds like a moderate Republican,” Luntz said.

    “So the challenge for the Trump campaign is to just stop with these incessant character attacks, and challenge her on the specific issues and her claims,” he said.

    The author is expecting trump to act logically…

    I have no idea who would think that’s even an option, trump will do the same thing every Republican has done since the rise of American neoloberalism in the 90s:

    Move even further right to differentiate from “moderate” Dems.

    The result is the Dem candidates start sounding like moderate republicans. Which the author also seems to think is a good thing.

    That means the two candidates we have to choose from is the Dem who sounds like a moderate Republican and a completely insane fascist.

    I dont know why anyone that isn’t at least as far to the right as a moderate Republican would celebrate that is the most left leaning option. Even they have to realize this arrangement only helps the extreme rightwing party because it turns everyone left of center off from the Dem party. Instead of people happy to vote D, we get people who might not vote at all.
