And we should believe your diatribe from cherry picking stuff to confirm your bias over the data based on standardized ratings of the whole range of issues and records because… ?

It seems Krugman is correct. Facts do have a left-center bias.

So you also are claiming that Harry Enten of 538 is brainless? As well as Daily Kos poster? As well as anyone who analyzes that particular set of objective data? You probably have very scientific criteria for determining seriousness and smarts of other people…

BTW, one more thing. If you don’t have a clue, at least have experience. Apparently, you were just born yesterday. Meanwhile, I am probably old enough to be your grandfather (or older). I have lived through Bill Clinton’s administration. It was under Clinton when the Dems shifted far to the right. Clinton invited many Republicans into the Democratic Party, which further diluted its ideology towards the right. However, the biggest factor was the GOP strategy in destroying the unions, which worked just as they planned.
The unions were the voice of the people for decades. They were the biggest source of revenue for Dem campaigns. Without the unions, the Dems had to find another source – the same source as the GOP: Corporations. There is no way corporate money will allow liberalism – not in capitalistic America.
There is your little bit of history of why HRC, a Goldwater Girl back in the day, follows the money and could care less for liberals.
On the other hand Matt, one of the commenters, Mr. Jockstrap, or somebody, warned upout an imminent avalanche of Trump. A Trumpalanche, as it were. So we’d best be prepared for some truly fabulous snow jobs.

May be? Will be. His abrupt refusals to release his taxes guarantee it. If you tell reporters to get lost about releasing your tax returns,they take it as an open invitation to dig through every public document regarding your finances and business dealings for the past several decades.
Just ask Mitt Romney about that.

You were wrong and were proved wrong - you had a chance to apologize and all you could do was accuse him of having an agenda. Grow up

It doesn’t take science, it only takes half a brain and knowing where the candidate stands on the issues. A liberal would NOT have ever supported NAFTA. A liberal would NOT have ever supported the Welfare Reform act. A liberal would NOT have ever supported W’s bogus claims for war against Iraq. A liberal would NEVER support fracking.
I could go on and on but apparently you prefer stuff your head from what you read on blogs.
She’s found her theme.

You are so far off base I don’t know where to being.
But your “Goldwater Girl” schtick is cute. Again different rules for Clinton than liberal icons like Thom Hartmann who canvassed for Goldwater.
Never mind that Clinton, like Hartmann, who by the time they reached college changed their views and politics, and became liberal Democrats (at least in Clinton’s case).

Kentucky is similar in that respect. Most, if not all, of the eastern Kentucky counties that voted for Sanders will be Trump red in November even if Sanders happened to be on the ticket. They are not liberals by any stretch of the imagination. A lot of them are registered Dem but they vote GOP on any races above county level.

So Robert Reich is not a liberal?
Good to know.

“Nearly 40% of WV Sanders voters” … that was the beginning of the original post. Other than using “WV” for “West Virginia” I don’t know how he could have been any clearer.

yes, I’m with @jcs - stupid financing. No one would give Trump a traditional loan (even at that point, people knew that they’d be stiffed, that loans to him weren’t worth the paper they were written on) so he borrow from the financial equivalent of loan sharks.
sort of the 2008 housing crisis in a nutshell. too bad those poor schlubs who lost their homes didn’t owe the lenders so much that the lenders couldn’t afford to foreclose, had to take pennies on the dollar instead…
anyone thinking that Trump isn’t the epitome of the system being rigged to enrich the wealthy is a fool!

Sorry, but you’re terribly wrong about that too. Republicans have shifted to the right. Dems have moved rather little in terms of political perspective over the years.

When I have to choose between trusting half a brain and a straightforward statistical analysis of objective data, I will always choose the latter.
