Evan_Gaensbauer comments on What kind of information would serve as the best evidence for resolving the debate of whether a centrist or leftist Democratic nominee is likelier to take the White House in 2020?

I agree. I think checking some polling numbers as Monkyyy suggested is a good starting point. It’s right it doesn’t tell us enough about the dynamics of mobilizing those who typically don’t vote; and the dynamic between how much Republicans and Democrats can cause others to flip sides.

This is especially true given that the case for not nominating a centrist is to have stronger motivation of the base.
