Will 2014 be the GOP's last gasp

[Bush92]

Norton: In 2008 Democrats picked up 21 House states and 8 Senate seats. The House changed 24 months later when GOP picked up 63 congressional districts and 8 Senate seats. Obama received 52% of popular vote, far short of the 60% you touted earlier. In 1994 GOP picked up 54 House seats and 9 Senate seats. Modern history would seem to favor GOP.

In 2008, Obama took 67% of the electoral vote, in 2012 he took 61%. Bush barely got over 50%

Dems had 60% of the Senate in 2008, they have 55% now. When republicans take the Senate they are lucky to have 52 seats

And you ignored the rest of my post. Modern history favors GOP.

Demographics and the GOP Commentary Magazine

Demographics may leave the GOP on the outside looking in after 2014. If the GOP does win the Senate in 2014, it may be there last chance to influence national politics. The changing demographics are going to start breaking down the GOP's decided advantage in winning congressional races though gerrymandering,

Even the reliable Red Texas is beginning to turn Purple. Unless the GOP opens their tent to a great variety of voters, they may be doomed to join the fate of the Whig and the Liberty republican parties.

Your opinion?

The U.S. operates on a two-party system. As long as this is so, the GOP will never die, because it will always be a haven for racists, xenophobes, sexists, Christ-stains, and other bigots. It will always be the party of "no," the party opposed to the newest ideas we enlightened lybyryls in the Democratic Party come up with, the party of "this will DESTROY America!" sensationalism, and so on.

We're definitely scoring a lot of wins and have the Wrongpublicans on the run, but we can't possibly hope to outright eliminate their presence in politics unless President Obama uses his rightful authority to declare the Wrongpublican Party a terrorist organization and arrest or shoot on sight every registered Wrongpublican in the country.

And before you conservatard bigots whine about "hurr durr executive orders," the authority of the President to designate any individuals or groups of individuals as terrorists is a lawfully-granted authority consented to by Congress. The bill that consented to President Obama exercising this long-standing power literally could not have passed without crucial votes from Wrongpublican legislators.

"The U.S. operates on a two-party system. As long as this is so, the GOP will never die, because it will always be a haven for racists, xenophobes, sexists, Christ-stains, and other bigots"

Very well said

The GOP picked up 6 senate seats in 2010. Obama did win over 60% of the electoral college both of his elections. Bush never came remotely close to 60% in either of his elections.

Popular vote. It's not hard to get 60% of electoral vote for a Dem with California, Illinois,and New York as solid blue. When a Dem finally picks up 210 to go over the top the left coast then comes in later that night. GOP will have all three branches by 2016.

Modern history has no equivalent of the Tea Party crazies constituting a significant number of candidates.

You don't need new ideas when the old ideas work quite well, and have been proven, over and over again, to be superior to any of the new ideas that the idiot brigade comes up with.

Governments have been around for centuries, in just about every form imaginable. There are no "new" ideas that have not been tried by some government, somewhere and at some time.

You're lucky people pay attention to ANY part of your post. You apparently can't see the forest for the trees and being stuck in a time warp back in '92 certainly isn't helping.

No it doesn't, it represents an electoral pendulum swing for Republicans. And as you notice, when it swings Republican, it barely gets them over 50%. When it swings dem, it swings to 60%

 

[Bush92]

In 1964, 1974' and 1976 congressional elections there were actually conservative Democrats. They do not exist now. DNC is too far left and too race based. Whites are no welcomed in the Democratic Party. You will see GOP ranks grow in the Hispanic and Black communities to the point of nullification of these groups as a Democrat block vote.

Presidents are elected by electoral vote not popular vote

Maybe President Gore can explain

Your opinion?

To paraphrase Lindsay Graham , there aren't enough angry bitter white gius for us to stay in business

Yes it seems like there are more welfare sponges and queers out there than hard working people to support them.

Your days are over

Really?

And exactly what policies are the AWG's going to use to attract Hispanic and Black voters?

Doesn't this belong in the "Humor" forum?

After 1972, see 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992 when Perot got Clinton elected.

 

[rightwinger]

Regardless of 2014 results, 2016 will be a major political swing for the Dems

Major victory for President and big pickup in the Senate as Republicans defend their 2010 pickups

 

[Bush92]

After a two term Republican President you will have an even 16 to 16 years of control of executive branch. GOP will continue to at the least control the House because at state and local level majority of Americans are conservative.

42 years ago?

When was the last time republicans got 60% of the electoral vote or 60 senate seats.

McConnell: GOP Becoming ‘Regional Party’

The country’s top-ranking Republican told party leaders on Thursday that the GOP is at risk of becoming a regional party.

[T]he Republican Party seems to be slipping into a position of being more of a regional party than a national one," said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. “In politics, there’s a name for a regional party: it’s called a minority party. And I didn’t sign up to be a member of a regional party."

McConnell delivered his warning in Washington, D.C., to members of the Republican National Committee one day before party officials are slated to select a chairman to lead the GOP over the next two years.

The Kentucky Republican underscored his argument that the GOP is becoming a regional party with a couple of geographic examples.

We won't see a two term Republican president for a generation
