40. Actually the "base" wins primaries and nominations it is the middle/independents who win the general |
|
election. Which is why there is the old saying that a Dem "runs to the left when seeking the nomination and then moves to the center in the general" and a Republican is supposed to "run to the right for the nomination and then move to the center" as well for the general. The left is not enough to win a general election.
