I wonder how old Mr. Thompson is--I'm guessing he is older and, hence, can still remember a Democrat party with principles.
Yes, having gone to the full article, I see he is probably a man of about 50. Doesn't say much for him tho' that he chose not to face what was happening with the Dems for so long...
The democratic party has principles, they have always had principles, for over a century they have been the party that has advanced socialism and communism in this country.
My guess is around 50.
