From a liberal marketing stand point, blue is better choice of color to use for the Democratic party. I think it was a very clever move to switch the Democratic color from Red to Blue. Blue is much more appealing and doesn't have the stigma associated with red.

The change, if there ever was a change, was more the media's than the Democrats.  Red, white and blue are patriotic colors for Americans.  White is rather bland.  Red is definitely patriotic to communists.  It is rather ironic that after the Republicans got milage out of fighting the communists during the Cold War they end up sharing a color.  There are just not enough good patriotic colors to go around?

I remember taking an X Windows class, and the instructor going on about what colors should be included in the list of X Window colors.  In particular, he obsessed with X Windows not including chartreuse.  I looked it up, and found they did.  Not only was it included, it was a basic color as defined.  I think it was 0, 255, 255, max settings for all three basic colors except...  Red.

You will have to have the Republicans emphasize chartreuse in their advertising.  

As the token Whig, I find it amusing that the Republicans and Communists ended up sharing a color.  I consider both to be the opposite of progressive, of Whig, clinging to old values and economic theories.  They cling to different old value systems, true, but older none the less.

I don't really know what a Whig is today. I don't know what the Whig's were about, what the Whigs stood for, what their values were way back when while they were still around as a political force and politically active as a group. As far as blue, I thought it was a clever move for a politically bias group to switch their political color from red to blue. The color seems to mean more to the blues and the blue narrative than it does to the reds. According to the blues, I'm a red. OK, whatever, I'm a red. According to the blues, reds are racists. OK, whatever, I must be a red who isn't a racist.

I think the Republicans should stick with good old red white blue and stick with America first and stick with American tradition and the American dream. The Democrats seem to have no clue as to what their loosing, what groups/who their actually supporting and what they're voting to let go of/ loose at this point.

I watched a documentary series on Netflix yesterday. It's called Wild Wild Country. It's about a clash between a small rural town in Oregon and a liberal cult from India. You should watch it and I think you'll understand where America is at right now. I emphasis (LIBERAL) cult and you should focus on the cult. You should focus on how the cult acts, how the cult operates, the cults view of the American people living in the small town and be honest with yourself as you watch it. You will see many similarities between the cult and the liberal progressives today. I see a similar clash coming between the liberal progressives and the United States of America. The old Democrats involved in the struggle are either dead or no longer physically/mentally able to fight. But, there's a new political breed representing them today.
