(Just yesterday I keep thinking about how the DP has become the party of Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford and George Romney while the Republicans have become a mixture of George Wallace and Pat Buchanan. When Sanders ran as a Democrat, he did not understand that the sands were shifting beneath his feet.)
As I've argued already, I believe we are at the beginning of a coming party realignment that will end with Democrats becoming the party of urban, cosmopolitan business liberalism and Republicans the party of suburban and rural nationalist populism. (For more on the political science underlying this likely realignment scenario, Jennifer Victor has a great explanation at Mischiefs of Faction.) full: http://www.vox.com/polyarchy/2016/3/16/11246498/merrick-garland-realignment _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list pen-l@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
