"...The Clintonian synthesis of pro-business, finance-friendly economics with social and racial liberalism no longer needs to be diluted, as it was in the 1990s, by opportunistic appeals to working-class white voters.

This realignment within the Democratic Party requires Hillary Clinton to distance herself from many of the policies of her husband’s administration and to adopt policies favored by her party’s core constituencies. On issues from criminal justice to immigration enforcement, that is precisely what she has done..."

After three Republican presidential terms in a row, Bill Clinton found a "third way" alignment that broadened the appeal of the Democratic Party.

Today, we have the synthesis you are describing. It is today's Democratic Party, and our candidate Hillary!!
