Wow, two Senators may get Blanched in a single election cycle. I doubt we'd see that again anytime soon lol.

Ed Gillespie was only 18k votes away from competing with Gardner and Jones in the "Which Senator can lose by the largest margin in 2020?" game.

Well, instead of Gillespie getting blanched in 2020, Warner got warned in 2014.

"Which Senator can lose by the largest margin in 2020?" The answer is pretty obvious : Doug Jones who will get Pryored

Even in Colorado, the "socially moderate, fiscally conservative" Republican is not a winning strategy. You can't hold Trump's gains in southern Colorado with that profile, and the suburban types you'd want to pull in are too far gone.

Gardner isn't "socially moderate". Well, he is if you consider Trump "economically moderate".

Trump is economically left-leaning.

LOL.

Yeah, those tax cuts were super left. Trying to repeal Obamacare was super left.

He TALKED/talks vaguely left leaning in terms of a general sort of economic populism that appeals to hicks who don’t like immigrants or gays but don’t want to lose their social security/healthcare, but his actual policies and actions have been far from left. Just another lie and con from the world’s greatest con artist and most compulsive liar.

He doesn't show any significantly right-wing economic impulses, at all. Merely "cutting taxes" is not economically right-wing.

Cutting taxes by itself?  Probably not right wing.

Cutting taxes that benefit the super-rich overwhelming (ala 2017 tax bill)?   Yes, definitely right wing.

There's definitely a lot of truth to the idea that Trump campaigned on moving the Republicans to the center specifically on trade, antitrust, and preserving (some) of the social safety net.

But he's obviously still pretty ideologically conservative on weakening government agencies, deregulation, making taxation more regressive, threatening/cutting parts of the safety net, etc. Also it's worth noting that outside of trade and using antitrust to spite some rich people he doesn't like, he's done nearly none of the economically-left things he campaigned on in 2015/2016.
