The dangers of middle of the road politics

In the article listed below lays out the struggle that Joe Donnelly of Indiana is experiencing in his move from the Democratic party to a more middle of the road state of view, supporting certain views from both sides. Donnelly is being criticized by Democrats for straying away from the typical leftist views such as socialized health care and is receiving flak for doing so, even though he is still opposing some conservative ideas such as Trump's tax laws. This article clearly highlights some of the problems with today's politics and why we are going to be stuck with a clear two party system for some time. It shows that any attempt to blur the lines is met with scrutiny and criticism, scaring most away from even trying.
