I can’t think of more than 2 or 3 national figure Democrats that could be even labeled anywhere near moderate or centrist.

I can think of one, maybe—Joe Manchin. Who would be your others?

I was being 'liberal' in my statement of my estimation.... he was the only one I could think of tbh.

Still too early to tell about the Alabama Senator. He might be an 'unbaked loaf'.

Never put Jim Webb into that camp, but he might be 'stale bread'. In fact Webb was almost the only candidate I more than halfway supported for the 2016 race. (tended to look decently on Fiorina as well. Just about all the others I had to at the very least pinch the nose to come to grips with them.... even on the Libertarian slate.)
