It is plausible that ‘my guy’ can lose an election, and they should accept defeat gracefully
Immigration needs overhaul and reform, not purposeful cruelty or a closed border
The US should have a firm global policy, but our allies are vitally important to our security

She admits that Trump lost in 2020, she hasn’t said anything terribly extreme on immigration (not that the president is even the final say in domestic matters), she obviously supports our allies as she used to be our rep for the UN, and she doesn’t do anything about how bad our education system is just like every other politician.
Actually wanting to conserve things, like the environment or peoples general well-being. Taking responsibility for their actions, and acknowledging failures. Fiscal responsibility. Secularism, maybe not personally but at least professionally.

Nixon was more moderate than a lot of Dems, in some ways. Environment, and iirc, health policy, until he drank the Kaiser-Garfield Koolade.
