It’s also a view that is largely wrong. Political science research shows that ideological moderation actually is rewarded at the ballot box in House elections and presidential elections. The same thing is true in the 2016 presidential race.

Chortle!
Yeah..is that why Barack Obama, by far the most extreme of far left extremist of extremists ever to have run for president won TWICE, and is that why the Republican Party won their two biggest victories in the House in 2010 and 2014 by running on a solidly conservative platform to repeal Obamacare and dismantle Obama’s far left agenda? /sarcasm off.
Beware of the Washington Post when they come bearing gifts. Whenever, the Washington Post, unapologetic and notorious Obama water carriers, and Obama propagandists turn round and offer “advise” to Republicans on how to win, the Republicans need to run as fast and as far away from that “advise” as possible, and do the exact opposite of what that “advise” entails.

FDR, also a left-winger, won FOUR times.
