Sixty years ago there was anywhere near the difference in the two parties that there is today. Then the democrats went off the deep end and moved way, way to the left. A socialist running for president fifty years ago would have been unheard of. It almost happened this year and if Donna Brazille hadn't cheated, it would have happened.

Black Lives Matter, welfare state, gay marriage and a host of other far left issues would have been unthinkable to democrats of the '50s and 60's. JFK would be turning in his grave to listen to some of the ideas put forth today by the extremist of his party.

The democrats need to return to their roots as the party of working people and not the party of the non worker, extremist nuts.
