I cannot square this round hole really.

And I can certainly understand why Third Way candidates do not run on those bona fides. That said, no, they are not conservative, in the old way of the term. But yes, we got one running for President of the United States, and one that will triangulate the shit out of DC (or at least try) if she wins the presidency.
