The new vision so like Reagan's that they supported (and still do) when they were called Reagan Democrats.


Only traditional Democrats will even know what you are talking about, ones like me that went from the Middle of the party to a far extreme left wing radical in 30 years without changing a single position.

New Democrats prefer the 90's version of the Republican platform as can be evidenced by the people and policies they support.
The health Insurance "reform" they championed was almost a carbon copy of a 1993 Republican Proposal authored by the Heritage Foundation and pushed by Newt Gingrich. They do not like the Democratic platform very much and despise FDR yet they are called Democrats still.
