2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTrump and Hillary would both shift to the center in the general election if they are nominated by
their respective parties (both are more flexible in their political values than in their devotion to self).
If Hillary zooms right and Trump drifts left, on which issues would Trump actually campaign to the left of Hillary in the general election if they are their parties' nominees?
I suspect that Trump would campaign to Hillary's left on
(1) job exporting trade deals,
(2) spending capital on overseas military bases,
(3) foreign nation building, and
(4) campaign finance regulation.
What other issues would Trump campaign on offering positions to the left of Hillary?

Neither plans to actually govern based on their campaign themes (if they campaigned like they would actually govern,Trump's bumper-sticker would be "8 Years of Gridlock Because BOTH Parties Think I'm Nuts" and Hillary's would be "Suck it! I'm The First Woman President and I'll Appoint Goldman Sachs Executives to Whatever The Hell Position I Choose and You Can't Do Shit About It" .

Both are interesting reads. Personally I'm more in line with the Wonkette rebuttal, as I don't think there is a liberal or progressive case to make for Donald Trump.
