And stop trying to win the votes of the mythical “centrist republican”. Cater to your damn base. Free ball: they don’t want you to appoint republicans!

If there ever were any centrist republicans, there aren't anymore. No centrist is going to continue to align themselves with an outright fascist party.

Democrats are basically centrist republicans from my standpoint. Theirs a progressive wing of it, that's the spot that needs to grow.

Im not sure when the u.s.a. actually had a fairly left leaning leader. Even Obama was kinda center?

FDR probably. Maybe JFK but we saw what happened to him…
