Party changes

Congressional approval has been less than 20% for the past ten years and thus the election of Trump was one of the more significant events of recent history. One of his campaign promises was to change the way Washington operates and he has certainly done that. First off he realigned the Republican party by challenging the establishment by moving away from the old party standbys of reforming entitlement programs and moaning over the deficit. These things were talked about for forty years but nothing was done about them. His changes are mentioned everyday in the press as they refer to him as un-presidential and they are correct. Now as people gear up for 2020 the changes in the Democratic party are coming to light. The movement toward socialism is the most obvious but other changes seen as extreme are also part of the new party, things like late term abortions and cutting defense Many of the new ideas put forth by young democrats are somewhat frightening to the established party members. Talk of impeachment, getting rid of ICE, Medicare for all and wealth tax are seen as too extreme by the old guard. The Democratic party is about to take on a new face.
