Tom Suozzi ran a "DINO" campaign...not the typical liberal/progressive, left-centric campaign and look what happened. Centrist, moderate Democrats can prevail in the coming election. The case can be made that they are almost "Republican-light" (not necessarily a bad thing in my book, and may even appeal to independent voters) but they won't/can't win as Republicans because they are decent people who value the truth, the law, and our alliances, they respect the Constitution, and live in the reality-based community. Today's Republican-base voters will never go for someone like that, but a lot of independents and Republicans who can't stand the thought of - gulp - four more years of Trump would.
