There is No Emerging Democratic Party

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the book "The Emerging Democratic Majority," by John Judis and Ruy Teixeira. The book's authors argue that the Democratic Party is destined to be the majority due to minority groups' rise in demographic terms. The paper's author argues against this belief, stating that political belief crosses many spectra, rather than solely through minorities.

From the Paper:

There can be little doubt that today's political landscape is buffeted by many cross-currents, but increasingly it does seem to be the case that the Republican Party speaks in the name of universal causes, while the Democrats raise minority rights or self-interest. This reverses the relation between the parties from just forty years ago when a provincial Republican Party proclaiming the virtue of diversity faced off against a nationalist Democratic Party; however, it also represents a return to the parties' respective positions through much of their histories.
