I commend you for trying to fit our current election into historical terms so that everyone doesn't think the current wackiness of candidates is not part of a tradition. However, it might be said, concerning our parties, that no one up to now has run from the National Socialist German Worker's Party, the party of Hitler, and even if someone were in America influenced by this party, it wouldn't be touted as such. The elasticity of the Republican party perhaps includes this other party, and Donald Trump is said to have Hitler's speeches as a bedside table book. I am only saying that our traditional parties might not be recognizable in this election, or stretched beyond their historical meanings.Flame Snydernoreply@blogger.com
