But a lot of voters do and a lot of the party does. That was not true 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. It is true now. And who cares if the presidential nominee is some lefty or not? Until 50ish senators and a couple hundred representatives are on the same page it doesn't matter. We're moving in that direction but it's not going to be freaking instantaneous. At least we're not ruled by blue dogs and Clintons anymore, and are moving in the opposite direction.
