That doesn't mean the end of liberal ideals at all. A Clinton victory would mean a great opportunity for the left, if they would only take it. Moderates can be moved, if they can find support. If, however, the left decides to take their ball and go home (as they pretty much did under Bill Clinton) then the moderates will be once again forced to take their support from the center and from the right of center.
