$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Newfie', 'P')lant.... Without Trump the D party comes apart, too many differences in the coalition.
Much the same can be said for the R’s. They rally around Trump in opposition to the D’s.
I would not be surprised to see one of the parties break apart with more central group trying to take some support from the others center part. The two parties have drawn to far to the extreme.
This may look like a:
Progressive - Center D - R grouping
Or
D - Center R - R grouping.
NOt saying it is likely, but possible.
I Don't see the Ds breaking apart because I think the extreme left "progressives" have pretty much taken over in the D party.
There are maybe 2 D centrists left in the Senate....Manchin and Sinema.
And the house is even more far left then the Ds in the Senate.
The Ds now pretty much universally support crazy things like eliminating bail for felons, not prosecuting people for things like shoplifting or drug crimes, and the newest insanity from the Ds in New York City....reducing armed robbery from a felony crime to a misdemeanor.
The Ds have crafted policies that support homeless drug addicts living on the streets and shoplifting at will. Go into almost any major US city run by the Ds and its much more crime invested then it was 2 years ago.
IMHO, rather then the two parties splitting apart, I see the two party system working rather well. As the Ds become more progressive and crazy, independents are moving towards the Rs.
And the Rs...rather then splitting apart....are likely to win big in the next election, taking back the House and Senate from the crazy leftist Ds.
Yes....Trump is a problem for the Rs.....but Biden is an even bigger problem for the Ds.
And the Ds and the MSM are really going too far with their endless caterwauling about the Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Just yesterday a D commentator on MSNBC said the capitol hill riot was worse then the Holocaust. Thats utterly crazy.......but crazy is what the Ds do these days.
Woke-Democrat-sparks-fury-comparing-January-6-riot-HOLOCAUST.
I predict the far left Ds new policies of siding with criminals will be repudiated by the votersCheers!
