11. Democrats aren't "enthralled" by the "man."
My point is that real Democrats aren't effected by the hairspray. The ones that are Indys or Fearpublicans are. I accept your premise that many Centrist voters pulled the personality lever; what I don't accept is that they were Dems to begin with. In my view, Democrats are nothing if not tolerant. Those that wander into the Big Tent are there because they are curious, not because they are believers. Those standing at the perimeter of the Big Tent are the one's duped by Reagan/Chimp, not the paying customers in the grandstands.

"Reagan Democrats" are a construct of the right. Admittedly, a clever construct.
