Charlie Cook: “The challenge is that so many integrally involved in the respective parties have lost all perspective and do not realize how ideological their party has become.”
“When people ask me that question, as happened just this past week in Chicago, my answer is that with ideological sorting, the nature of the two parties will not change until the moderates or centrists decide they want to take back their respective parties, pulling the GOP back to the center right and Democrats to the center left. Only then will we return to anything like the stability and normalcy that so many people want.”
