When you think about it, the author’s absolutely right. Traditional DimocRATs did not win the house. DINOS did. [Democrat in Name Only]
The enthusiasm of Leftistism filled the void created when the Democratic party lost its message, moral compass, and finally the 2016 election. And now the Democrat establishment, with all its funding, can’t put the genie back in the bottle and can’t regain its identity.
It was the ideology and energy of the far-left, that seized control and hijacked the Democrat Party. A political party is identified by its positions and policies and so it was a completely different political party of DINO’s that took the House. With that understanding, what was once known as the Democrat party, no longer exists. Perhaps in the near future, a new, more appropriate party name will emerge.

Democrats Did Not Take The House
OK. So I think this is a post about a change of political philosophy in a political party. Personally I think this happened with the D's in the late 60's and then again in the 90's.
-Late 60's, old school Southern Democrats were left voiceless. Thank god.
-90's, the hippie Democrats who booted the Southern Democrats had good jobs and didn't riot when NAFTA was signed.
The Republicans had something strange happen I haven't figured out. By the late 70's they embraced this low tax, big government, conservative, religious fanatical platform and took in every non hippie in the world so they could win national offices after the Nixon debacle left them with no hero's besides Eisenhower of the military industrial complex speech. It has served them well.
This last election was the Trumpsters and we'll have to see what sticks.
The R's are now:
-ignoring religious shortcomings. The moral majority has died off maybe?
-They are ADVENTUROUS economically. I understand this debt as a percentage of GDP thing (I can have a bigger house note if I make more), but man they ignore the debt some years.
-anti free trade or at least anti Marshall Plan, the plan which rebuilt the rest of the world to prevent communist revolutions. And they might be right wanting to end the Marshall Plan finally.
-And the local R's are a pretty VERBAL racist bunch. Think about Mindwars and Purge on here and my neighbors who were empowered by the equally wrong folks who rioted after the Michael Brown shootings.
What changes on each side are you noticing?
