9. Don't know about now, but they were supposed to have closed their doors when the Koch $s dried up.

No, don't have a link, but it's been discussed here on DU.

The so-called Third Way (until Tony Blair showed what they were all about - privatization with slick words and pretty faces - and of course, Iraq) at one time seemed necessary to break the GOP juggernaut.

That being their input and then control of the Seven Mountains which Cruz daddy so kindly brought to notice this year, when they are well neigh impossible to resist.

After 12 years of Reaganism (I count Bush daddy as the last three years of that) Democrats were scrambling for a place in a media environment that was weighted against them.

At the time, Clinton looked better than another 4 years of Reagan. He was seen as a man who had dealt with the conservatives in a state that had once been Democratic but was slipping to rightwing religiosity. It's tumbled into the ditch now, it'll be very hard to get to the infection of Teabaggery and bigotry out.

I'm thinking this is a media event being played out to get people to accept Hillary. To make her seem more liberal than she was seen before.

IDK...
