Maybe I'm universalizing too much. Maybe my theory only holds for the right. But it seems that being a boring centrist neolib isn't that electable. It didn't work for Hilldog, Kerry, or Gore (not to mention Romney and McCain). It did work for Obama, but maybe the fact that he was black was enough to motivate progressives to vote, and he was a particularly good campaigner anyway.
But I still think Trump's election was a big signal for what voters on both sides are looking for.

He should have just said it was a comment about the sexism that pervades large parts of the elctorate and pointed out what he has done to fight that. But no. SO scared of the third wavers taht it must be denied at all costs.

Only in the sense Trump used data to identify the towns needed to win the districts to win the swing states, figured out their triggers, and them exploited them. People who like him for “owning the libs” don’t understand how they are getting played by a charlatan

That's what they all try to do. That doesn't really go against what I said.
And people who like him for “owning the libs” (like me somewhat) don’t care that he's a charlatan. They know he is.

Audio of the tense post-debate exchange between Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren emerged Wednesday night.
The dispute centers on a 2018 meeting between the two longtime allies. Ahead of Tuesday night's debate, Ms. Warren said that Mr. Sanders told her in that meeting a woman could not win the presidency. Mr. Sanders had denied he said that, and denied it again during the debate .
At the close of the debate, Ms. Warren and Mr. Sanders appeared to be engaged in a tense exchange, but what they said wasn't revealed until Wednesday night.
"I think you called me a liar on national TV," Ms. Warren said, according to video released by CNN.
"What?" Mr. Sanders responded.
"I think you called me a liar on national TV," she repeated.
"You know, let's not do it right now. If you want to have that discussion, we'll have that discussion," Mr. Sanders said. Ms. Warren responded: "Anytime."
"You called me a liar," Mr. Sanders said. "You told me — all right, let's not do it now,” before walking away.
Businessman Tom Steyer is standing between them during the back and forth. As Mr. Sanders walked away, Mr. Steyer went to talk to him and said: "I don't want to get in the middle. I just want to say hi Bernie."
"Yeah, good, OK," Mr. Sanders responded.
