and so much more with registered Democrats numbers dropping when it was at all-time highs with Obama elected in '08. The party didn't get there by pretending to be the middle or whatever but as a warning to what? The party is losing, not gaining look at "expanding entitlement programs at the expense of other priorities". 80% of Americans support expanding social security. Floating Chained CPI cuts did him no favors, trust me I live in a very conservative area with seniors that like their SS and Medicare.
