That's what I have been thinking for a while now. Really, the parallel Reagan-Bush41=FDR-Truman, Clinton=Ike, Dubya=JFK/LBJ, Obama=Nixon works impressively well. Following that logic, a moderate Republican should win in 2016 and then be defeated in 2020 by a progressive Democrat who would achieve the realignment. That's going to be pretty fun if it happens. Tongue

Christie, then Warren? That'd be goooooooooooood.

Or Huntsman, then Warren. Or, let's be crazy here: Huntsman, then Bernie Sanders.

I'd like a Democratic Party that worships Bernie Sanders as a god.
