She doesn't need to make you happy now. She needs to appeal to every Independent centerist and Republican who can't stand Trump. I agree that this will be well to the right of my preferred positions and candidate picks, but she actually has to win before she can do anything.

What I SAID: she shouldn't bother courting the so-called moderate Republicans. She should rather concentrate on the more progressive wing.
And yes she does have to win, but this seems to be a bad way of going around it.
