We will see about that. There is a growing number of centrists who don't follow the left agenda and are turned off by some of the rhetoric.This is a valid point, however, the far Left is taking over the Democrat party. The fact that so many voted for Bernie Sanders, who really isn't even a Democrat, as all the evidence that you need. Not too many years ago the Left gloated that the GOP was being taken over by the tea party. The Democrats have the problem now.
With that said, here's my prediction. If the GOP doesn't get its act together, and if the Democrats seriously push for legalization of marijuana nationwide, The Dems will have a legit shot in 2020. In 3 more years, millions more of millennials will become eligible to vote.
I think there are issues within both parties, because the Democratic party is divided, and should've never trotted HC out there as their candidate.
Repubs are having an identity problem, but to their favor they won't have the same issues as Dems because no matter what, Repubs will show up and vote for their candidate, while Dems bicker amongst each other and split their own vote. There's still a lot of hurt feelings and animosity on that side of the aisle.
Back to the original subject, I appreciate your perspective. We obviously don't view things from the same perspective, and that's ok, but you showed me respect and that's all we can ask of each other in times of discussion.
