We need to set some definitions straight first. We can't look at the last 200 years in terms of party. We have to look at it in terms of liberal and conservative. Those are the only definitions that hold constant..

In a nutshell the liberals were in the Republican Party until the turn of the last century. They were the Northeast liberals living in free states and the conservatives were the southeast people living in the slave states.

Lincoln was a liberal. A hard-core liberal. At the turn-of-the-century the liberals switched to the Deocratic party after the kerfuffle with Teddy Roosevelt. FDR was a hard core liberal. So it was the liberals that champion the workers and all liberal policies like the EPA all through the 20th century. It seems like you're okay with that to this point?

But in your piece which is fairly thought out and one of the few times I've ever seen a conservative admit that the parties changed, you completely overlook Bernie Sanders!

Bernie Sanders is the future of the Democratic Party. Hillary and the establishment Democrats she represents are on their way out. And if it had not been for her wrapping up the super delegates before the election started and that she got a huge block vote from African-Americans, especially in the South, Bernie Sanders would've beat her.

So if you want to talk about the Democratic Party, you need to talk about Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and they are foursquare with the worker

And Trump, was lying to the workers. He lies all the time. Right now what you seeing him doing is organizing the major plutocrats/rich people in this country backed by the military and a Republican Congress to literally tear down the very social fabric of this country, and especially those portions that support the worker and the poor.

Every single cabinet appointment he has made is exactly the wrong choice. The people he put into the EPA, health and social services, and education have been put there to destroy them. All of them have railed against those departments their entire political career.

Trump will only remain strong as long as he can continue to fool people. And make no mistake he intends to rule with an iron hand and enact policies that will greatly weaken workers wges and benefits and protection.

He is management and management always does it best to hire workers as cheaply as they can. When has that ever been different?

<<You still think that the Republicans are the party of management. Are you really sure of that? Read the following article. It will tell you about the political tilt of a typical modern CEO:
