With regard to the AEI Report "Politics Without Winners" and either party building a "majority coalition", one of the writer's conclusions is "Durable majority parties are not only possible; they are the norm in American Politics". I beg to differ. I am now 81 years old and I have lived under Democrat administrations for 41 years and under Republican administrations for 40 years. For many complex reasons, this country has over these years "wobbled" back and forth left and right around a moderate center in a fairly regular fashion. I think this lack of a 'durable majority party' is in fact one of our strengths and my hope is that the country continues to just that going forward. And, by the way, with the one horrible exception of our Civil War, the country has survived quite well under both administrations and it will do so after this coming election as well.
