This sentiment or the Democrat politicians distancing themselves from anything remotely liberal comes to no surprise. They’ve abandoned their liberal base in search of the mythical “undecided” voter back in the days of Clinton. The difference is Clinton had the charm and personality to make up for an otherwise lack luster campaign platform. The result is that the Democrats fail to rope in the “undecided” voters and fail to light a fire under their own base. Say what you want about the Republican/Tea Party (and I have), they at least play up to their base.
