The Magnificent Seven
“I have thought for a long time that there’s a race between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. And the question is: Does the Republican Party become more economically populist in a genuine way before the Democratic Party opens itself up to people who don’t agree with us on 100 percent of our social and cultural issues?”
— Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), quoted by The Atlantic.
