No, you're missing something. It's not about being hardcore left. It's about not wanting the hardcore right, which is quite frankly, horrifying and a joke all at the same time. Donald Trump, Rick Santorum? Need I go on? It's bad, man. Why can't the GOP come up with a decent candidate that does not insult everyone's intelligence?
John Kasich, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, yes even Bush, Pataki even. Forina is head and shoulders over Hillary even without the scandals.............all would make great Presidents in my mind and you have to admit decent even if you oppose most of their polices.
This compare to electing someone you KNOW is corrupt and puts their own self interest before the countries and our national security.
