Modern Democrat Party traces its roots back to Eleanor Roosevelt and Adlai Stevenson. JFK was a moderate to conservative Democrat which was common at that time in order to keep the Southern conservatives Democrat. This was the old FDR Democratic Party. Remember, FDR jettisoned Henry Wallace because he was very Marxist in his ideology. The Wallace wing would split, with more conservative union members stating with traditional party, and leftist going with the Stevenson intellectual egghead ideologue wing that had its base with eastern blue blood liberals. This would be your campus professorate that polluted the youth in 1960's and paved the way for the Extremist Obama in 2008 and 2012 by playing race card from the bottom of the deck in both cases. If did not vote Obama, "you are a racist." But people in America are not as liberal as Obama, Holder, or Angela Davis. Clinton will run, but she is too establishment for Democratic Party that has swung so far left that it is indiscernible from the Socialist Party USA. The take over of Democratic Party by Socialist Party has been two generations in the making. Hope that answers your question. Oh, ironically when Clinton does not get nomination it will be because of people who used Sal Alinskys strategic theories to push party to extreme left and capture it.Ah, this has degenerated into another flamezone thread.
Tell me more about the shift in the Democratic party between 1900 and 1960 then to 2010. In reasonable terms. Bush was doing an ok job. I am amazed by the evolution of the parties.
