was wondering, how can the republican party compared to president lincoln and the honorable frederick douglasshe abolitionist john brown? they was pretty progressive in their day and time. how could the republican party get to where they was at? guest: the party has changed. i will grant you that. i would like to go back to that time. lincoln was remarkable for a lot of things, but one of them was his economic policies were really, really progressive. of course, civil rights, absolutely. 100%. but take a look at the other stuff the guy did. quite apart from the 13th amendment and the civil or, he would have been one of the most mentis presidents of the 19th century by virtue of his domestic policies. well, you know, domestic policies is what it is really all about for americans. how are we faring? so, i think the gop has forgotten that. it has signed on to an ideology, and what it has forgotten is, ideologies don't tell you much about people. lincoln had better instincts in that respect, and so have the other people i have mentioned. teddy roosevelt and dwight eisenhower. these were fabulously
