All those officials from GOPers campaigns. The "centrist" label.

This is designed for disaffected GOPers who are now/were never Trumpers.

This will never attract the far left and the Dems on this board wouldn't be attracted to this crew.

I really think this will draw more Republicans then Dems away.
