W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. They are an economically neoliberal and "Third Way" faction which dominated the party for around 20 years starting in the late 1980s after the US populace turned much further to the political right. They are represented by organizations such as the New Democrat Network and the New Democrat Coalition."<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democrats<br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-68129913515391520592016-02-07T14:45:11.998-08:002016-02-07T14:45:11.998-08:00Check out Bernie's website after he appeared o...Check out Bernie's website after he appeared on SNL<br /><br />https://go.berniesanders.com/page/content/penniesBud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-66093368203265743792016-02-07T14:05:58.466-08:002016-02-07T14:05:58.466-08:00In case you haven’t seen it.
