And they won't be held back long.

I, for one, look forward to getting some forward-looking people in control in government. The sooner the better. The old fossils have held us back long enough.

You are correct in that young people LOVE her and HER ideas and either she or someone like her will be president in the not too distant future.

Billionaires and crony capitalists do not like her.

That's exactly right.

If they simply addressed and focused on the real needs of normal, average Americans, the Rs would barely be seen or heard of on the national stage again. The Rs have been history for 30 years, but the Dems keep pushing voters back to them with their devotion to the loons, the bottom feeders, and the lawless.

The last thing 2016 was is a Republican victory. It was a Trump victory, despite his running as a Republican. Republicans remain history. If only Democrats had a clue on how to capitalize on that.

If they could open their eyes, ears, and minds, Trump could teach them more than all their idols of the last 60 years put together.

What's coming are reforms to capitalism that will address legit concerns of most Americans. Things will improve and people will no longer clamor for extreme reform. Happened during the Great Depression. Didn't go from New Deal to communism.
