The liberals turned up the heat on the Republican frogs just a little too fast. A little slower, and we all would have been cooked!

Robert Reich always had a forked tongue. Believe what he speaks at considerable risk.
He is the insider's insider. Same old irrational rubbish under a different Banner.

I predicted something like this months ago. Democrats are a loose coalition of people who like the idea of gov't control and gov't handouts and people who can't tolerate rednecks. It's very easy for me to see a scenario where Republicans who wanted gov't to bring back post-WWII-era jobs to abandon Republicans when they fail to deliver and then join forces with Bernie Sanders supporters who similarly want gov't to fix their problems. It would take the right politician to sell it in a way that lets listeners insert "foreigners" or "billionaires" as the scapegoat for their problems. At that point, people who are Democrats because they can't tolerate rednecks have a strong reason to be Republicans.

I'm not sure what the party names will be, who will get which group, but I think Trump supporters and Sanders supporters have a secret crush on one another--- or an unlikely romance they haven't realized yet.
