I would bet it would be overwhelmingly popular.
Constant seeking of the center and making "peace" with the extreme right is how we got the "center" we have now.
What were formerly "John Birchers" are now mainstream GOP thinkers.
Nixon would be an environmental extremist (EPA) and the one who "lost" Red China.
The entire table has moved so far to the right it is amazing.
And they did it by moving right or staying where they were while insisting OUR side "move to the middle"
But I guess I am an old fogie who has seen too much. Fool me once, twice, 12 times and all that.
Like RFK Jr saying see you at the barricades, I am just not with the new hug and the right won't stab us in the back mentality...
Excellent post K&H
