Thanks for the book recommendation. The Eisenhower Marshall thing was a shock to me and to my brother who also follows you closely. I read HCR's books and also Lyn Fenwick's Prairie Bachelor: The Story of a Kansas Homesteader and the Populist Movement.

The Republican Party stopped being a party of the people a long long time ago. I do not think they are worried about the election because they have it fixed at the state level
this may sound extreme, but I think the Republicans started to do downhill in1878, with pulling federal troops out of the south and that foul-ball stolen Tilden/Hayes election. I say this also understanding that, until, say, my lifetime, a huge piece of the Democratic party were down south and hardly very "liberal." and TR's Progressivism, has always struck me as a tad too "elitist" (better word, anyone?), which you can hardly hold against him...

The "southern Democrats" are today's far right Republican party in the south.
