1. Moderate leftists
2. Green party (could join the existing Green party)
3. Social democracy party of some sort, farther left party

Maybe the moderate conservatives and moderate leftists could join together to form a Moderate Party.
For Dems, make the SJW liberals a possible 4th.

Those would probably go into #3 for the dems.

How curious that he makes a distinction between single and married woman.

Greenberg is on the right track. I am coming to the same conclusion. The majority of the electorate get that Trump is inept, a divider, corrupt and in every way unfit for office. This majority also realize that the Republican Party is a hollowed our shell of what it was. Just a zombie party full of sycophants and spineless politicians who will sell out the welfare of the nation Trump.

There is growing anger. Real anger. Not Trumpist violent anger. But anger that the promise of this nation has been compromised.

I suspect these patriots will come out in force in 2020.

At that time, Trumpers and the rubbish ideology known as Trumpism will be taken to the dump where it will be burned and buried.

“A few months after the election, he realized he could no longer put Clinton and Trump voters in focus groups together because indignant Clinton voters, particularly woman, so dominated the conversations.” He is mistaking lack of self control and poor manners for strength of views.

One can hope, but who knows?

But the promise of a nation built on the rule of law is being compromised every day. If folks don't haul their butts to the polls a year from now, we will likely never recover.

The courts are holding the line for the moment, but they can't do that alone.

We need both parties to move more to the center and/or compromise again.

What we got is the far extremes create a atmosphere of hate, blame and gridlock. But this current President makes it all worse sadly.

The dems want to strip away voter ID laws, allow illegals to vote, and destroy ballots marked for republican candidates. Then they'll say "we destroyed the GOP!"

No I am sorry to inform you, but the dems need do none of that. The GOP is in the process of destroying themselves.

the GOP is already in fear of the religious rights calling god into play and having god smite and rebuke them and probably some other 17th century insults as well
