Re: Except ...
He's going to get re-elected because the democrats are moving so far left of where centrists want to be. They have no viable candidate as a result
Nonsense...
Hillary is a extremely right-wing in all but social/gender politics. Important note: Trump beat Hillary. All the polls showed candidate Bernie Sanders (openly socialist) had far better numbers against Trump, but he couldn't win the primary against Hillary.
The early primaries are always where the extremists come out of the woodwork. Things normalize later on.
Trump won on populism. He said his tax cuts, eliminating regulations (coal) and aggressive negotiations with China would improve things for the poor and lower-middle class that weren't much of that as the economy gradually recovered. The fact that Trump actually made the economy far worse, and the tax breaks only went to billionaires and corporations who lined their pockets and didn't create any new jobs is irrelevant. He won adopting left-wing ideals, which isn't so far-fetched as he was a registered Democrat. Of course it was idiotic to buy the sales pitch, but people did. Somebody like Bernie can out-trump Trump on the popular bits of his campaign rhetoric, without all the insane, self-service, pathologically lying cheeto mannequin baggage.
