I think neither will exist 25 years from now.

Yes, they and their sponsors want it that way and the public is too stupid to know any better.

So Trump has gone on record as being in favor of the individual states deciding what if any abortion rights will exist within a particular state as long as there are exceptions for rape, incest and mother’s health. Shortly thereafter Pence said he slapped right to lifer supporters in the face by not supporting a federal ban.

Makes sense to me. I mean a candidate who is trying to get elected should take a stand opposite what 62ish percent of the polled electorate strongly support. Sounds like sage advice to me. Remind me why Republicans couldn’t take the Senate and an overwhelming majority in the House in an midterm election when the sitting President who happens to be in the opposition party was enjoying some of the lowest approval ratings in recorded history.

I see an interesting road ahead of the Republican Party. Eventually moderates will leave the party and perhaps form a third party and hand over the Republican Party to the evangelical right which controls about 20% of the total electorate. If we’re lucky, enough moderates will leave the Democratic Party as well and join the moderate ex-Republicans thus moving the country more towards the center. Perhaps they will have a large enough majority to end the extremism and get back to legislating our way out of this mess.

Our country, from its inception, has had several major political parties. Republicans and Democrats are just a blip of history.

The 2 major parties of 25 years ago do not exist today so I don’t expect the 2 major parties that exist today to make it 25 years. Those same old bumper sticker labels will probably still be here though.

Absolutely. Both parties pander to their voters, then meet at the back of the store
and do their $ponsors will. Basically we have a one party system
