(6,282 posts)It is in "disarray" because many Americans want it to be a left-wing party, and the donor class vigorously disagrees.
To answer your question, my best guess would be 1968.

(154,021 posts)though I understand your post... but part of the problem is exactly a lack of any organized opposition starting with the turner raids.
Follow me, we have a center left candidate (Sanders) running, against everybody, a center right politician (clinton) and a far right right enabled by all.
