| Mr Khan said: I would think someone like that would be firmly unelectable on the national stage because he's oriented against major party platforms in different ways. Social Conservatives would eat him alive, and the more Socialist planks of the Left would stop the Democratic vote Granted, this "socially liberal/fiscally conservative" type probably describes the average American voter better than any other, but we've seen what happens to candidates who try to approach things from outside the power structure. Even if he went third party, he'd likely just be a Perot-style wrecker, sabotaging the victory of one side or antoher. |
You'd normally think that... but Trump is like, leading the republican polls right now, with his "Canadian style healtchare" and "one time 15% tax on the rich" ideas.
