Mr. Trump is remaking the Republican Party. Republicans who like the party as it is do not like that. But in the end, the newly-remade Republican Party will shut the Democrats out of power for 20 years.

And when the Democrats finally do, in the end, manage to return to power, it will be a much-chastened party that won't be nominating any more Constitution-hating Liberals.

I suggest you have your anti-depressant prescriptions filled and ready for Election Night 2016. You're going to need them. Very Happy

The 2013 gun control debacle guarantees that the Republican nominee is going to win in 2016.

Mr. Trump reshaping the Republican Party so that the Reagan Democrats become permanent Republicans, guarantees that the Republican nominee will win in 2020, 2024, 2028, and 2032.

What gun control debacle?

@maporsche,

In 2013 Mr. Obama wrecked his second term by wasting all of his political capitol throwing a temper tantrum about the NRA.

You don't know what a 'temper tantrum" is.
Here, study this definition. You might learn something today.

Quote:

A tantrum, temper tantrum, or hissy fit is an emotional outburst, usually associated with children or those in emotional distress, that is typically characterized by stubbornness, crying, screaming, defiance, anger ranting, a resistance to attempts at pacification and, in some cases, hitting.

Listen well. Adam Lanza was autistic. His mother did everything wrong that could be wrong in raising an autistic child. Introducing him to guns was so tone deaf on her part, I cant even fathom it. No, that was not the NRA's fault. That was not the fault of current gun policies in the US.
But what was disgusting about it was how the NRA handled it. They stabbed themselves in the back with a complete lack of compassion about the entire ordeal. They are so anti Democrat, they coundnt see a perfect opportunity to restore their reputation, as the NRA's orginal purpose was, to educate people on the proper use of firearms. They missed the boat and used pure political thuggery to squash the heartache of the country. It was appaling and insensitive and they created enemies, when they had an opportunity to gain allies.

Obama wasn't successful in getting gun control legislation through Congress. Somehow you think this is his personal Armegeddon.

He's re-shaping it all right. He's driving all the center-right people out of the party into Independentland, and opening up the party to militia/KKK/Bundy bird refuge kooks. You think they constitute a winning Presidential coalition?

Actually, there is a growing consensus that an anti-establishment group may block-vote Trump in precisely because they believe he'll destroy the GOP - and multiple parties will evolve. They want to destroy business as usual - in a very unusual way.

Back in 2000, I was reading a spokesman for the Nader campaign who, when queried about how Nader might give the election to Bush, responded that the country could survive one term of Bush messing up the environment if it resulted in a more environmentally conscious Democratic or other party coming into power later to get serious about the environment. Do you recall how that philosophy worked out in 2000? Because Nader absolutely cost Gore the election.

@Blickers,

I thought the supreme court ended up deciding that election. Im sure it helped that Bush's bro was gov of FL at the time.

@Lilkanyon,

It did. But it came down to 537 votes in Florida. Nader got 97,000 votes in that state. The Nader second choice vote broke 80 / 20 for Gore over Bush, so if Nader not decided to run, Gore would have won Florida by 600,000 votes. There would have been no fuss or recount with those numbers.

Ah like republs claiming the indepeandant votes of Ross Perot lost Bush his election against Clinton...gotcha...

@Lilkanyon,

Nope. Because Perot never was known to the public as a Republican, (even though he was a member), never ran for office as a Republican, so his thing was to be a third way. Perot, for instance, came out for government universal health care. Not a Republican position at all. In fact, the next election in 1996 Perot ran again, but only spent about half the money he did in 1992 and instead of getting 20% of the vote like he did in 1992, he got only 10%. Did that 10% of the vote Perot didn't get in 1996 go to the Republican candidate Bob Dole? No, it went to Clinton, because Clinton beat Dole in 1996 by a greater percentage than he beat Bush in 1992. Perot actually took votes away from Clinton in 1992, not from Bush.

Nader these days is associated with environmentalism, which the Democrats embrace and the Republican donors spend many millions trying to defeat. There is no cause to believe that substantial numbers of Nader voters would go to Bush. As it happened, according to the polls, Bush was the second choice of only 20% of the Nader voters. Even if half the Nader voters stayed home and voted for nobody, Gore still wins by hundreds of thousands of votes in Florida if Nader never ran.

A perfect description of Mr. Obama's reaction when the NRA prevented him from tearing up the Constitution.

The NRA was perfect. The Democrats hate our Constitution and tried to destroy it, and the NRA protected our Constitution and preserved America's freedom.

The NRA's job is not to get Freedom Haters to like them.

The NRA's job is to prevent Freedom Haters from destroying our Constitution.

They did their job and they did it well.

Mr. Obama squandered all of his political capitol in a fruitless assault against the indomitable might of the NRA, leaving him with nothing left to achieve anything else.

Result: No legislative victories throughout his entire second term. The only legislation that he had any chance of getting passed were things that the Republicans wanted even more than he did.

Come election day it will have been a long six years since Mr. Obama's last legislative victory.

A do-nothing presidency makes for an easy switch of which party controls the White House.

I always find it interesting the way the Left reacts to the notion that people have rights.

I must say, never has a band of thugs more deserved the catastrophic defeat that is headed their way.

Once the Reagan Democrats have become permanent members of the Republican Party, the Republicans will win election after election after election.

That won't happen. A Democracy always divides itself between two major parties, one representing the Left and one representing the Right.

Bill Clinton cost Al Gore the election. People were sick of Democrats committing felonies in the White House.
