""The tradition of the Democratic Party is: be more liberal than the Republican Party on domestic matters. Not too liberal, but more liberal. On matters of foreign policy, don’t be much different at all." --Howard Zinn, 2009 interview with Dave Zirin

The think tanks that drive Republican policy have realized for at least 20 years that Democratic policy is only defined relative to Republican policy, that Republicans could move arbitrarily far to the right and the Democratic Party would follow.
