Mike said:When I alluded to Sen. Richard Shelby (R) AL, my point was that many Democrats have changed over to the Republican Party and have been loyal Conservatives/Republicans since. You brought up the term Dixiecrat. It was totally off topic.
Good to see you have studied about that movement and learned what it really was and when it took place. Hint: Much earlier than Shelby.
Why wouldn't you just mention Reagan? Like I posted earlier, those guys don't give trump the cover you seek - baby killing and gun grabbing trump isn't anything like conservatives in the democrat party realizing the party doesn't fit them. That's a look around that explains a party shift. Or is it your attempt at humor suggesting trump at 65 hadn't come to the epiphany that abortion actually exterminates a baby. I appreciate your interest in my education, but I'm not the dullard confused about trump being a conservative.
