Equally important will be the conse- quences to the economic policies of the losing party. Our two-party system depends upon the competition of ideas. The ability of both parties to eventually appeal to a majority of citizens tempers passions and promotes compromise. If Mr. Trump wins, the Democratic Michael party will surely resume its debate over far-left versus center-left policies that Hicks animated their primary. This has thus far been a healthy debate, building on decades of democratic policy. I have Hoosier strong disagreements with the Democratic platform, Opinions but no one can honestly argue they are not mostly serious and target the concerns of most voters.
