Hillary IS a moderate. She (as was Bill) is definitely center left, by American standards, as was Barack Obama. Even Bernie, who is slightly to their left, is not much different from the leadership of most of our allies in the democracies of Western Europe, and the rest of the English speaking world, and ANZAC.

The political debate in this country must be really skewed when we see Hillary and Trump (or any of the other GOP candidates in this election) as opposite poles of the political spectrum.

What does a center right politician running for president actually look like? The last one I remember was Jon Huntsman, who had a short candidacy the last run-around. In fact, there don't appear to be too many moderate conservatives out there at all. There used to be quite a few of them. The only genuine moderate conservatives I can think of who are still around are Colin Powell, Joe Scarborough (former FL congressman), Michael Steele (former RNC Chairman), Lindsay Graham, Steve Schmitt, (former McCain '08 campaign chairman). But they, and all the rest have been run out of Dodge by the TParty and the Freedom Caucus.

As for extremist Democrats, there aren't any any more. There aren't even any real Socialists. Period. None. Zilch. Nada. Oh sure, there are still lefty writers, activists, celebrities a-plenty, but none are actually running or active in electoral politics. Folks like Jesse Jackson, Rev Al, Michael Moore, Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky are not running for office, nor is anyone like them likely to. You're going to have to face it, The whole political spectrum has red-shifted to the right. All the moderate Republicans have been branded as squishy, RINOS, or (ugh), moderates.

The "far left" of the political spectrum today is somewhere between Hillary and Bernie. And to my taste at least, they are both moderates, extreme middle of the roaders.

Hillary is not the favorite of many Liberals either, but it has little to do with her politics. But to say she is too far left, as the Right is trying to indoctrinate its followers, is simply not true.

The polarization of American politics has one source, one origin, and one villain: the extreme Right. If you want to be a Conservative, fine, but no false equivalencies please. And now, it appears the more moderate, decent and reasonable conservatives are going to have to help pay the price for that.
