Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are the true heirs to either. However, Democrats, as of now, are much more willing to be Hamiltonian in outlook than Republicans. However, I would also say neoconservatives are not adverse to many of the Hamiltonian perspectives. Like anything else decades and centuries removed, ideas change and portions of them are thought useful and just, while other parts are not.
what Fiddy said.
The democrats would be horrified if Jeffersonian democracy were imposed upon Washington and Jefferson would be horrified by what the democrats are doing me thinks. I think Jefferson would approve of the social conservative side of the GOP but would strongly oppose the military.foreign affairs aspects of what they support.

However, I would also say neoconservatives are perhaps more fond of the Hamiltonian perspectives. I would say it is perhaps quite possible much of what you saw in Romney, minus the appeals to the "regular joes" would be in keeping with the Hamiltonian tradition. There is a significant portion of the Democratic Party that would be horrified by Hamilton's corporate outlook, whereas the base of the Republican Party would be more in favor.

I would think that the Libertarian Party would be more of a match for Jefferson. Especially from a limited government and little regulation standpoint, less so in terms of foreign affairs but it's still a better match than with Dems or Reps.
