57. Gotta love semantics.

Yes, the Democratic party WAS the party of slavery, but since the 1860s both parties have undergone major ideological shifts throughout history. Her statement is simplistic to say the least.

As for the war thing, it is true that a Democratic president was in office during almost every major conflict the US was involved in during the 20th century, but again, her statement is simplistic.
