You understand Hillary is a 1%er, right?
Anyway, Hillary is toast. The press is openly laughing at her presumptions of poverty. Her book sales suck. She comes across as mean, condescending, and absolutely no one anyone would trust in any position of authority. I doubt she will even run.
The GOP has a large stable of well qualified candidates with actual accomplishments who have some ideas to reverse the failed policies of Barack Hussein Obama.
I remember when Bill Clinton was declared dead in 1992 after he lost Iowa and New Hampshire. Then he started winning primaries and they called him "the Comeback Kid".
I remember when people declared John McCain dead in 2007. Then Guliani imploded, Huckabee scared the shit out of Wall Street and the Christians wouldn't get behind Romney. McCain was the only guy you had who remotely looked like a President. Then he blew it by taking Bible Spice as a running mate.
So I'm not going to be that concerned that Hillary's book tour isn't going well. Shit, I don't even remember Romney's book tour. I think Bush had a book Tour, but no one believed he wrote that book.
But again, regardless of who the Democrats run, the Republicans still have the same problem.
There aren't enough angry white males to win an election anymore.
Let us put it in perspective.
in 1988, George H. Bush (the Smart one) got 60% of the White vote vote. he got 11% of the Black vote and 30% of the Hispanic vote.
And he won 53% because Whites at that time made up 85% of the electorate. He won 40 states.
IN 2012, the Weird Mormon Robot you guys decided to run for reasons that still baffle me, got 59% of the White vote, 6% of the Black vote and 27% of the Hispanic vote. Numbers pretty close to what Bush the Smarter got in 1988. But in 2012, Whites only made up 72% of the electorate.
Romney got 47% of the electorate and only won 206 electoral votes.
Now, going into 2012, HIllary is going to have two major advantages Obama doesn't have.
1) She's White. A lot of the racism that has been animating your party like a shambling zombie won't be there next time.
2) She's a woman. A lot of women will vote for her for no other reason to finally see a woman in the White House.
So even assuming that you guys manage to avoid nominating a whack like Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, even if you have the good sense to nominate a mainstream governor who isn't named Bush who had a good economic record, you are still going to be facing the demagraphic problem mentioned above.
But you'll probably win some Senate Races in barely populated Red States this year and think that you've solved the problems.
