Kennedy: 'If Democrats become pale carbon copies of the opposition-we will lose & deserve to lose'

2. Maher's closer to the point
The Democratic leadership became like the mainstream Republicans on many issues- while the Republicans went ideologically insane.

9. "Given the choice between a real Republican and a fake Republican
the people will choose the real thing every time". Harry S. Truman

Becoming Moderate Republicans is not exactly a winning strategy.
