Why 2016 could be shattering for Republicans https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...be39-0034bb576eee_story.html?tid=ss_tw-bottom
Hilarious article considering the drubbing the Democrats took in the 2014 midterm elections. FYI the article was written by a democrat shill
The numbers are real, what isn't clear is whether all these people will bother to vote. The trend says no and in the 2014 election they certainly didn't.
not garbage, it says COULD. It's one opinion of how elections could go, if, if, people will vote in numbers. It certainly plays to the GOP plan to gerrymander enough districts to engage government in an ineffective gridlock where it appears that voting has no consequence. And really the only antidote for that is Bernie's people's revolution. Though I think she would win, Ms. Clinton would not inspire a change in state and local positions.
Lol, that's what Republicans were saying in 2012 about the 2010 midterms. I'm not real bullish on Democrats in 2016, but you should perhaps be more circumspect about referencing midterm results after what happened to Romney (a better candidate, imo, than any of the options we have now).
Conclusion suggest it may be transformative....as 1984 was for the Democrats. Hopefully so. I don't like one party rule. Or pandering to the base-type politics.
You had Liberal Jesus running the last 8 years. You have Hillary and Bernie running this year. Looking forward to the Republican tidal wave.
Bernie is the liberal Jesus..... his positions are totally consistent, unwavering over time or political climate, with an ethic human beings can only aspire to Mr. Obama was just the Centrist Jesus
And we'll all be looking forward to whatever comical excuses you and your ilk will bust out when this prediction turns out completely wrong (Again). Will it be voter intimidation? Voter fraud?? Americans strong penchant for free stuff from the gubmint?! The choice is yours, so choose wisely!
So sad that the clowns in the Republican party end up shooting to the top of their polls, while the clowns of the Democratic party end up concluding their campaigns after the first debate. Not giving preference to Dems, but it is quite obvious which party appeals to the lower portions of the American gene pool.
I've been hoping for this for the last six years. These kinds of movements die with a bang. Ideally that's when the ugliness of breaking rather than reforming the system ends.
There's lower dem turnout in the midterms. That's how it was in 2010 and 2014, and long before that as well. For some perspective: in 2012 Obama had extremely low approval ratings, the economy still had not recovered, and the repub base was very motivated to get out the vote. Even with all of these factors working against the dem candidate and for the republicans, Obama still won convincingly. You guys might recall there was much hand-wringing and pontificating over how this happened. The consensus was that votes form minorities, particularly the hispanic vote, had grown to the point that the republican party could no longer ignore them and hope to win nationally. So, fast forward to 2015. The economy has recovered. Obama's numbers are up. Gay marriage is legal nationwide and the majority of americans are fine with that. What have the republicans done in an attempt to avoid a repeat of 2012? They doubled down on racism and xenophobia. The front runner for the nominee has called Mexicans criminals and rapists, suggests building a wall along the Mexican border, deporting all illegal immigrants, and registering muslims. The dems could run anybody and still beat the repub nominee this year. The republican brand is dog****.
Actually the Supreme Court is responsible for gay marriage, not Obama. Learn how the process works, dude.
He didn't claim Obama made gay marriage legal, he was talking about what the GOP has done to double down on their hateful, bigoted views rather than reaching out to people other than old whites. Learn to read, dude.
