No, he'd be "pretty much a Democrat" in the eyes of most Republican primary voters.

I like the idea that the Republican Party, who found Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, and John Kasich unacceptable, is going to nominate a pro-choice, pro-gay, anti-gun guy the nominee.

No way in hell.

I think this could break the party entirely post-Trump.

If Charlie Baker were to leave the Republican party maybe with a few others like Larry Hogan and John Huntsman to start a new political party; I could actually consider voting for them. Heck, not that there's many of them left but Blue Dogs from the dam's could join forces and we'd have an actual centrist voice in this country.

No. I like him a lot as a Gov, but he's too liberal for even a pragmatic Republican like me.
Too liberal even for you? Mate, you've got a +13.5 political matrix score.

Lol, it's an online quiz, hardly a shining example of accuracy. I am pretty conservative, but I also like a ton of moderates from both parties. I try to look at certain issues from a pragmatic viewpoint, so that kind of negates parts of my PM score.

After vigorous etch a sketching into an archconservative to the point where he literally disowned his main achievement as governor, yes.

Ironic you'd still like Mitt Romney after that yet bash Hillary for "pandering to the Berniebros" or whatever.

I'm starting to think that th 2020 nominee will be Donald Trump. Not because he won this year, but because the republican voters seem to have drank the kool-aid so much that they'd probably nominate him again even after a landslide loss.

I mean, dig up my posts if you'd like, but I was quite frustrated that any Republican (in that case, Mitt, four years earlier, McCain) would have to pander that far to the right to win the nomination.  My only point with Hillary is that any Democrat has to do the same with the left ... It was probably in response to the usual posting about how the Democrats are a sane, center-left party that's actually moved right economically while the GOP is so far right unlike how they used to be, etc., etc.
