I think we kind of see the variations within the parties though.

HRC is the moderate left (Establishment Democrat)
Rubio is the moderate right (Establishment GOP)
Sanders is the further left (Democratic Socialist)
Trump is the further right (Capitalist GOP)
Cruz is a different kind of further to the right (Tea Party GOP)

At the end of the day, it's not to unlike coalitions that are formed elsewhere.
