Some do sound vaguely republican and some don't. All in all it sounds like one persons take on what they actually think combined with what they think may 'win' a next election. I highly doubt the Democrats will have a chance with any policy based shift. They need a structural shift that has more things like 'We promise to have fewer politically ancient people because we know that new ideas don't come from entrenched people'
