Here is the dirty little secret we have found out and proven. Voters actually lie more to the Right than the Left by a 60-40 margin. This is in a Blue state so it is higher in Red states.
Liberals move Right because nobody would vote for how they govern so they move Right. We mirror them and move Left only to move away from the voting sweet spot.
What we have to realize and why we have lost for 30 years is that everything we know about elections is wrong.
NO one better at that than you.
