It will be the first time since the democratic and republican party's ideological flip-flop that culminated in the 60s, yes.
Look, the GOP had it coming: It's got a huge base of middle-class Americans and a wealthy elite that has gradually disenfranchised itself from the base.
Most people are reading Trump wrong. He's hitting all the right notes, at least the notes that the middle class wants to hear.
Many people interpret his promises as racism, but what he is really saying is "look, give me your vote and I'll make sure that ECONOMICALLY we got back to your grandfather's time. A time when one salary was enough to pay for a house, vacations, college, car, et cetera. And deporting people who will work for ten cents an hour and cost the economy an enormous amount of money is a step toward that goal, not The Goal".
I'm as left wing as it gets, but what The Donald is saying makes way too much sense to me. At least a heck of a lot more sense than what The Establishment's candidates seem to be articulating.
For instance, why on earth is the press giving Obama a free pass on the illegal immigrant issue is beyond me. Here's a guy that ran part of his campaign on legalizing millions of illegal aliens, then he gets a second term and proceeds to carry on one of the largest low-key deportation waves in recorded history. The Hispanic community should be calling for a lynching on this guy. Instead, they're either eerily quiet or attacking The Donald full blast.
Meanwhile, places like Jersey City have become Little Calcuttas in a span of 5 years, literally overcome with visa-holding cheap employees who see nothing wrong in not taking a shower in two weeks.
