Same as the old shibboleth.
Hey Driftglass look who else is a centrist now! @Mr_Electrico https://t.co/o3mfC6aWJG— Frances Langum (@bluegal) October 2, 2018
Many thanks to my amazing wife for passing this along and giving me a sudden, ice-pick headache behind my left eye.
See also, "Governor Hedgefund".
And, as I asked last week, will we see -- emerging from the ashes like a No Labels phoenix -- yet another ready-made plank of 2020 presidential timber? A prairie plutocrat fresh from his crucifixion by the Extremes on Both Sides that will give every Beltway pundit a simultaneous Centrist boner so mighty that the Earth will be knocked out of its orbit?
I still would not bet against it.
There's a brand new talk
But it's not very clear
That people from good homes
Are talking this year
It's loud and tasteless
And I've heard it before...
Behold, a Tip Jar!

To be politely blunt.
Rauner is centrist. If Centrist is defined as the center of attention of kavanaugh's republican devil's triangle.
Ben Sasse wrote in the paper explaining how he "wakes up every morning and thinks about becoming an independent".
Breaking news,
Koch Brothers fund a grass roots movement over the Centrist party.
And Libertarianism coming to a state near you. Soon.
and when the 63 million reprogrammable meatbags leave the "Fuck Your Feels" shirt in the dresser and hide the MAGA hat under the front seat as they go to vote for the prairie "centrist" plutocrat, will the media dutifully write down the Hannity provided I-Never-Liked-The-Tweeting-But-DC-Has-Become-So-Disfunctional-and-Radical-Since-2018 exit poll talking point?
The center is such a useful position because it is perpetually indefinable and undefined. And how's a journalist to argue with that?
@Potomacker - True, if the media were staffed with actual journalists.
Since the worthless beltway media is comprised of overrated and overpaid stenographers, they do as their told by corporate execs to continue to tell the ongoing myth of centrism as 'faux populism' to keep the lobotomized masses engaged long enough to pull levers for their republican errand clerks who in turn keep the spigots of wingnut welfare flowing.
