For that matter, even IF history was proven wrong, liberal Republicans in office will result in what?


I dont think a liberal republican will win the independents. I think independents will shun career politicians. Trump won the independent vote in NH by a long shot. Trump did not invest a great deal of money or time in NH, yet the middle voted for him. Independents had a choice in NH of voting democrat or republican, and they went Trump. Trump lost the republican vote to Kasich, because Kasich put 10X the effort. Kasich does not bring anything to the plate except he will carry ohio. I can't say I like Trump, but in my opinion he is the most electable candidate on either side. Trump owned the middle in NH and I think that wins the general election.
