Democrats work to secure power by ANY means possible; Republicans work to secure reelection by ANY means possible.
The Democrats have moved markedly left in recent decades, but nobody in the media talks about that.
Fellow travelers.
could JFK be nominated as a Democrat presidential candidate today??? Would a JFK fit into todays Democrat party? That sort of question is never asked.
No and never.
I have heard that Hubert Humphrey believed in strong family values, and decried the growth of the permanent welfare state, accompanied by growing numbers of out of wedlock births and single mothers. He was a strong liberal in his day, but would he fit into todays Democrat party???
See previous answer.
HHH said all of that but with his familiar wink and nod!
