@jwcph I remember being told America would never elect a Black guy and then a Black guy ran on "ending the wars and caring about labor class issues" and absolutely wrecked the neocon establishment - the fact that he then emulated that establishment has no bearing on whether or not the message won.
So I won't be able to test your theory until a woman runs left of George W. Bush and at least pretends to listen to the only base she has.
