All joking aside, I see the point of your question and believe Hamilton could go either way. I also agree with Ben - Jefferson would probably be a Libertarian. There's no way he'd buy into the Dems collectivist nonsense or the Republicans non-stop wars and government/corporation incest. Of course, the Dems are rather incestuous on that account as well.

Are we talking about a Hamilton and Jefferson the grew up in the 20th century, or we just dropping them off from a time machine? I suspect Hamilton would be a Republican either way, but Jefferson is a different story. If he grew up in our time, I suspect he'd be a Democrat; if he was dropped off the time machine, maybe a Libertarian? (Of course, if Jefferson grew up in our time, he wouldn't have the benefit of reading and being influenced by Jefferson...it all gets too complicated!) Depends.
