2024: Is Wyoming a blue state yet?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

This [mumbles incoherently] school of thought regarding the parties changing stems from the (correct) idea that the Republicans since the 1850's have been, to some extent or another, a "business party" and the Democrats have, similarly, framed themselves as a "people's party". There is also the fact that the parties since, what, the 1960's, have been in a process of narrowing themselves down and adhering to a bit more ideological rigor. I would have to assume that the primary process allowed this to occur; instead of what basically constituted clientelism via party bosses and defined interests, you as a candidate had to craft a message explaining why you were better than other potential nominees; this favored high turnout and ideological groups, as opposed to some allegedly calculation by party bosses.
