The new American political line-up currently taking shape:
1. The Trump-publicans (Lincoln-Jackson Republicans. Strong federal government geared towards prosperity for the working class masses through industrial production. Protective of American interests against foreign powers. Pro-military. Secular and Gay-friendly but Pro-Christian. Anti-Establishment. Anti-Treaty in spirit (but probably not in practice). Anti-Elite).
2. The Green-Libertarians (Hippie-Yuppie-Post-Obama-Social-Justice-without-Judgment. Laid back government philosophically geared towards reining in the power of out-of-control President Trump. Thinking man's revitalization of Constitutionalism. Secular and pro-atheist. Pro-globalist in spirit but de-emphasizing global governance structures in favor of voluntarism. Techno-billionaires, Energy-futurists, and Hollywood Elite. "The New California." Friendly to treaties).
3. Party Democrats (The Democratic Establishment. "I Love the Government." Taxation enthusiasts. Clinton admirers. Members of Public Workers Unions. Bureaucrats. Hard-core old school feminists and rainbow activists. Public school teachers. Believers in the continuation of the race-oriented Culture War. Hard-core gun control folks).
4. The Establishment Renegades. Bush and the Neocons (Republican Establishment and Globalists at large).
5. Black Lives Matter.
Trumps' pick of Pence looks better and better in hindsight, and it allowed him to firm up the winning coalition not only for this election but going forward (otherwise Cruz would be leading a large renegade Christian faction in tandem with the Neocons, which isn't happening), The way things are trending now, by 2020, I suspect the Two-Party system to have re-arranged to be a battle between 1 and 2. This might even happen by November 2016, depending on how far and how fast Hillary collapses in the days ahead. If John Hickenlooper walks, it's lights out for the old Democratic Party.
