Clinton is a throwback to the more moderate days in Congress and the current, younger members of the Democrat audience isn't looking for that. If we had seen a more liberal candidate, I think we would have seen Trump take a tumble. That runs counter to your thinking. I would agree that what has been going on is frustrating those on the right, and remaining moderates, but Trump's win in the general election is not because of that.
You argument has more than a little chicken or egg to it. I totally disagree with your assertion that a more liberal candidate would have won, I firmly believe it would have been a greater victory for Trump. There were many issues that decided this election for Trump and the continuing rush to the left was certainly one of them. If you disagree, which I'm seeing you do, then we just have differing opinions on this issue.
