Motley,

I was pondering this situation today.  It seems like we are about to begin one of our occasional party political flip flops again.  The republicans have exhausted themselves and stand for virtually nothing again.  The democrats seem to be on their way to becoming the conservative party thanks to the aging baby boomers and the coming retirement/medical crisis.

It may be this possible republican split (social conservatives vs anyonebutTrump) will give birth to another party; the last time they split, it produced the Progressive Party.  That is about as far as my thoughts have gone.
