Reagan, Ayn Rand, Mises and Hayek, Milton Friedman, Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich; these folks need to be put on the shelf after their hard, long run.

Gee?  How did you ever guess I was thinking of you when I typed the bold phrase above?  

CNN has Elizabeth Warren pushing the Warren - Sanders progressive wing of the Democrats.  Their angle is not new and not surprising, but might be understood as standing opposite the Tea Party's rejection of the establishment.  I've been talking about 3 parties, with the Republicans and Tea Party in open conflict.  The Warren - Sanders wing hasn't reached that level yet.

But we might see a four party system for a while.  Both the Tea Party and the Warren - Sanders people want a major break from the unraveling pattern.  The establishment Democrats and Republicans alike are quite unpopular, viewed as being servants of the capitalist elite class.  If we are to break the unraveling pattern, it seems that the Warren - Sanders faction has to end up dominant.  While the Tea Party is angry at the establishment, they don't see the Reagan pattern as being the unraveling establishment.

Sanders and Warren are trying, but they haven't the clout in Congress yet.  I don't see that they are moving in the country in the direction of regeneracy yet.  Thus far, it is the other three factions that are becoming more unpopular.  The Warren - Sanders faction is there, but they aren't yet beginning to resemble the steamroller required for a regeneracy.
