Trump's Cabinet

[Lord Ratner]

You guys are arguing over whether or not she's a real Democrat or Republican as though we aren't in the middle of another generational transformation of the parties. There is no party ideology right now. Obama was the death of the Kennedy-to-Clinton Democratic party and Trump was the death of the Nixon-to-W.Bush Republican party. 

 

We have no idea what the next versions of the parties will look like, so how can we know who is a "real" member?

This would have been an epic choice for press secretary

That’s an interesting perspective, can’t say I disagree. We have to see how it all settles out, but I think we may be seeing a significant shift where the Republicans and Dems have switched places as “the party of the people” and “the party of the elite ruling class, billionaires, etc.” The GOP will really ride this rocket ship if they’re successful (and this will take voters doing their part) at flushing the establishment Rs from their ranks.
