I always enjoy Jay Nordlinger's Impromptus. Today he offers this model of the Democratic Party.

In fact, my friend and colleague Mike Potemra once advanced the Jacksonian Theory of the Democratic Party: that they went from Andrew to Scoop to Jesse.

Of course, I don't think Andrew Jackson was such a great prize. He was a demagogue of the worst sort. I find him one of our most overrated presidents. But the line is cute.
