Donald Trump is completely transforming the Democrats

Excerpts:

Washington has long been a stranger to principle other than the principle of self advancement. Yet, something new seems to be emerging across the country. Politicians have long felt the need to disguise raw political agendas in the pretense of principle. That pretense has disappeared.

In this age of rage, voters seem to have no patience, let alone need, for leaders speaking of abstract principles. They want immediate unequivocal action in supporting or opposing President Trump. For Democrats, that all consuming purpose has led to the abandonment of core unifying values, including many that first drew me to the Democratic Party. While they would vehemently deny it, Trump is remaking the party in his inverse image. This past month shows how far that transformation has gone.
​

So the opinion of the author is, Democrats have transformed into the New Democratic Party (NDP), taking positions they previously opposed, and following agendas they used to reject, all because of the intense obsession over the President, and the need to reject every action and decision he makes.

I find this conclusion to be spot on. The DNC is now the NDP. And as Trurly concludes:

"A party requires more than hatred for an individual. A party has to stand for something that transcends the immediate or the visceral."
