When was the last time the Democrats really swung right? The late 1700s when they were still the Democratic Republicans?

How do you tell when a politician is lying? His lips move.
Of course neither party actually changes for election season they just change the tone of their puppet show to attracted the ignorant and uninformed, also known as “moderates”.
I doubt Gardner has any real plans to make contraceptives less expensive and I KNOW Udall has no plans to implement any of that crap he’s putting out in his commercials.

“When was the last time the Democrats really swung right? The late 1700s when they were still the Democratic Republicans?”

The ‘conservative coalition’ consisted largely of western Republicans and southern Democrats. It battled liberal legislation in the House from the 1930s until the mid 1960s. Shadows of it remained until about 1990.

Lyndon Johnson helped weaken that coalition and the Democratic right began abandoning the party when the McGovern faction took over in 1972.
