Agreed, I voted for Clinton and think he was a good POTUS.
Right now, Nancy Pelosi is mainstream within that party, she is the anchor trying to keep the radicals from going too far left. Let that sink in. |

I don't understand this statement at all. Between the Tea Party and Trump the GOP isn't looking very moderate or very Republican. |

what policies do today’s GOP advocate for, which they haven’t traditionally advocated for? be specific? i can make a pretty specific list about what dems are advocating for today, thatbthey sure weren’t advocating for when Bill Clinton was president, many many things.
the tea party was a very powerful political force in the few years after its genesis, but it advocated for traditionally conservative ideals of fiscal responsibility.
trumps policies are pretty moderate. he’s not Pat Buchanan, not by a long shot. Planned Parenthood is still being funded fully. he advocated for prison reform.

This president is nothing more than a correction....checks and balances at work. A necessity to get the country back pointed in the right direction.

The R's somewhat sycophantic public support reminds me why I hate Politicians in general and makes me giggle when I whaddabout the rumpswabbery of Dem Pols with WJC and Obama. The Tea Party was overall a good movement where people wanted respect for the rule of law, cut spending, and not be 21T in debt. Does not sound to bed now, does it. Too bad the press and dems eviscerated it. But they support the Commies so all is good, no? And on balance they look far more moderate than the race to interseationalism that is the Dems.

Unsure how many more pendulum swings we can tolerate. |

2015 article by John Bachtell, Chairman of the National Committee of the Communist Party USA on need to work through the Democrat Party to achieve his Party's goals (which are quite similar, if not identical, to Progressive's goals). As an aside, he considers a lot of things to be extremist that Spence does. Maybe Spence considers CPUSA to be "centrist" or "moderate"?:
