Does triangulation work?
Or is it a short-term strategy that fails in the long-term by selling out the interests of its constituencies, and thus, lose those constituencies?

And who decides whose interests are triangulated?

1. It does not work. Clinton proven it with NAFTA
and was impeached by the same creeps that he courted to pass it.

The Democrats that opposed NAFTA came to Clinton defense.

2. Nope.
Want proof? Just look at what has happened to the Democratic Party since Bill Clinton and the DLC first came up with the doomed strategy.

*IF* the Democratic Party takes any seats in the House or the Senate this year it will only be because of the abysmal failure of Republicans, not because of the success of the Democratic Party.
