Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Can someone explain how centrist Hillary is running away w/nomination if moderates are apathetic?https://twitter.com/greg_ip/status/681846776043843585 …

        @emptywheel Perhaps because the term "centrist" has no meaning beyond, "I'm out of ideas."

        @jayrosen_nyu @emptywheel Centrist is pretty clearly defined at this point. HRC's movement to liberal views is not entirely credible.

        @JayAckroyd Right. My larger point is that @GeraldFSeib's claims are utterly nonsensical as they apply to Democrats. @jayrosen_nyu

        @emptywheel @greg_ip @GeraldFSeib Liberals fear any Republican and are resigned to Hillary as the one with a better chance to win?

        @muddlewait Or maybe @GeraldFSeib's analysis is only accurate wrt GOP, but he doesn't want to face up to that. @greg_ip

        @emptywheel Because on a Seib scale, "Centrist" is near Christie or Kasich. Anyone who voted for Obama: definitionally Radical Left.

        @emptywheel Because Hillary Clinton has power in the Democratic party, and it's Democrats who have to vote her the nominee.
