Sanders would have creamed Trump. If you go to the links in the earlier linked article about hypothetical questions you'll see there's disingenuous interpretation involved. There was a poll showing that Sanders would've creamed Trump if he'd been the Democrat nominee and the author of the linked article tried to argue that it wasn't valid because it dealt with a hypothetical. The author linked a 538 article about how polling of hypotheticals CAN be misleading IF the hypothetical deals with an extremely unrealistic scenario. But Sanders running in the general election wasn't an extremely unrealistic scenario.

There's absolutely no basis for disbelieving polls showing that Sanders would've creamed Trump.
Probably not.

Clinton would have signed off on Keystone XL?
Clinton would have nominated Gorsuch and other conservative judges?
Clinton would have pulled out of the Paris deal?
Clinton would have rescinded DACA?
Clinton would have undertaken more of a regulatory roll back than Trump? I mean the left is in a tizzy over Trumps regulatory rollback.

If Clinton did everything you listed, would that not make her more CONSERVATIVE not PROGRESSIVE? :coffee:

Trump is turning to Dems on taxes and immigration. Everything else is noise.

Taxes and Immigration are going to have to be bipartisan anyway to have any chance to work in the long term - that's the weakness in Obamacare, it wasn't bipartisan and it has an expiration date. If Trump is the price we have to pay to get the two sides to somehow work together and actually produce legislation that isn't terrible then so be it. I didn't vote for him, but there's no doubt in my mind that Clinton would've been completely unable to reach bipartisan agreement on these issues.

Claim was Trump was more liberal than Hillary- ie Trump was to the left of Clinton, which = Clinton to the right of Trump. If that was actually true, Clinton would have had to have (if elected) taken the above listed actions, and actions to the right of the above.

Judicial nominees aren't noise. They're at least as big, if not bigger, than taxes and immigration.

What is noise is 'Trump is turning to Dems on taxes and immigration.' Because all he has done is talk, and his talk is all over the place. One day its to the right, the next day its to the left. We won't know what kind of bills we'll get until we see what Congress passes..

Agree with you about Gorsuch. That's big. When RBG kicks the bucket and another originalist gets on the bench, the leftist agenda will be done for at least a generation and that is HUGE.

Trump ran on some pretty specific platform ideals, and even beat up his fellow primary candidates for talking about doing things he is currently negotiating with the donks on. Spin it however you want but Trump going bipartisan is not what the Trumpers voted him in to do. :coffee:

Can't do it bro. They're on the same side. :(

For some reason Putin is the one person on planet Earth that trump hasn't a bad word for. Its been the single consistent thing about his whole time in the public arena. :coffee:

I actually saw John B. Anderson at Harvard Law School back in '79, before the press discovered him and he became infatuated with himself. His first impression was pretty good, but he moved steadily leftward. I ended up voting for Reagan in '80. Anybody but Carter, dontcha know.
