I think the democratic party will get weaker over time to the point of near irrelevance like most 3rd parties. Originally Posted by dilbert firestormThe two party system will remain between the Republicans and the Democrats.

The Republicans pretty much sealed the fate of third parties in the U.S. by successfully hijacking the election which will limit the choices of the American people and will continue to encourage elitism in the end. I think Trump is a good man with good intentions but he is going to get used like hell by the Republican machine. The Republican Party took the American people by hostage through Trump's message. Trump sold his soul to the Republican Party because he knew he couldn't win without their support. What he doesn't understand is that American politics isn't exactly like running a business in which one voice, the owner, can be heard and when he puts his foot down that is that. It's going to be a long road ahead for change if any does occur. Having a Republican House and Senate won't help that much because Trump is still considered an outsider or a rogue element by politicians. I wish him all the luck. The Democrats backed the wrong candidate in their attempt to hijack the election. Sanders was about the closest thing that the Democrats could get with a Trump-like candidate that was "third party." However, they lost sight of the prize, the working man, in favor of fear mongering. Trump put the Republican Party on the map in the eyes of the American working man. This election is the beginning of the change in American politics. No longer will it be about big issues, issues of morality, or even issues of culture but ECONOMICS, what can the government do for me to make my life better economically.

Hope that helps, Wolfie.

Originally Posted by I B HankeringUhhhhhh, not exactly.

The American people are more concerned with the economy than boring legal cases that are heard by stuffy old legal minds that get a kick out of writing long-winded judgements that go over the heads of most people. But I keep them in mind whenever PBS wants to let the public know about an "important legal matter."
