I don’t think it’s possible for Republicans to win the 2016 presidential election or keep control of the Senate. That’s because the GOP is disappearing from the most heavily populated sections of the country while increasing its lead in a declining bloc of aging, white, rural voters. Look at voting demographics and you get the likely 2016 voting map below (based on 2014’s returns)
New Hampshire and Virginia are turning blue, and Georgia is now at play).
As to the Senate, Democrats in 2014 had to defend 13 Senate seats in red or purple states. In 2016 Republicans will be defending 24 Senate seats; at least 18 are likely to be competitive based on geography and demographics. Democrats will be defending precisely one seat that could possibly be competitive.
Can't say I disagree with you there.
What the GOP has completely failed to realize is that conservative values can be "bred out" of a society. The influx of hispanics will help them for sure, as long as the catholic church doesn't put its stamp of approval on gay marriage in violation of its own core edicts from God.
If gay marriage is forced upon the states, those values will render the conservative party dead within one or two generations, maybe sooner. You cannot impose conservative values on minds formed homes where they are completely absent. As even "straights" come to bend to this new way of liberal parenting (set for them by example and societal-approval of the unthinkably leftist: two people of the same gender playing at "mom and dad" to children), there won't be a conservative mind left but in the farthest backwaters of folks who don't have any television. As voting adults, this new mindset will be the proverbial "old dog" that you cannot teach new tricks to..
Ask GLAAD. This is and was their mission statement. It is to completely stamp out all vestiges of conservative values and to turn the country into one giant sexual bacchanal. But so being, other conservative ideals will get sucked into that vortex and away from the minds of each new successive generation until there is nothing resembling a civilized society left.
It happened this very way in Ancient Greece. Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it.
This Midterm was a fluke...but as time go by and the public is mollified by continual defeat of this one issue, 2016 won't be the same game. People will have already given up and there will be some new oil spill or war to rebel against to get a dem in the Oval Office..
