      Here’s the crux of the matter: We believe that if you scratch a “centrist,” you find a right-winger underneath because they all seem to buy into right-wing talking points and framing of the issues, including rounding up what a few fringe leftists say as what the whole movement wants, while rounding down what multiple, whole state governments, and its leading Presidential contender, are doing and saying as not representative of the right.
