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.
