When you have an incoming president who campaigns on dramatic reform and a return to an egalitarian social policy, but delivers large bank bailouts, record rates of foreclosure, and a slew of legislation designed to beef up the police in the midst of wave after wave of street protests, why would you expect this voter base to stick around?
Dems love to talk about FDR as a big political reformer, but what they often neglect was his success as a partisan party builder.

Guys like FDR, LBJ, and Reagan come into office thinking their voters need to be rewarded for delivering the vote.
