Super du Jour
Steyn On Line ^ | 2/27/2016 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 02/27/2016 5:51:07 PM PST by Beave Meister

A few horse-racey thoughts before Super Tuesday. To pre-empt the usual objections, let me emphasize that what follows concerns itself not with my personal preferences but with what is electorally likely:

~Donald Trump seems set for a pretty super day, winning at least ten of the twelve states, and more likely eleven, or possibly a full sweep. The exceptions are Ted Cruz's home state of Texas (where there is conflicting polling evidence) and perhaps, if you cling to the pre-Nevada conventional wisdom about Trump's organizational weakness in caucus states, Minnesota. But a ten-state victory for Trump will still be a super-duper Tuesday for him, and a stinker for Cruz and Rubio.

Trump's attempt at a hostile takeover of the Republican Party has happened only because of the GOP's failure to address the issues -like illegal immigration - that concern voters. Trump has exposed the cowardice and lack of principles and coherence of the GOP. They have only themselves to blame.

"When The Washington Post's Michael Gerson warns that a Trump nomination would break apart the Republican Party, the implication is that the health of the Republic depends on maintaining the same two parties of the Civil War era for all eternity. Why?"

---------That's the question.

Steyn’s point is that the two party uniparty American system is very much an aberration in the Western World.

Most Western democracies have between four and six parties.

Post-Communist Russia has five.

Its not written in the Constitution America must have only two.

Its telling that Independents now outnumber both Democrats and Republicans.

Most Americans are rightly left feeling the existing parties do not represent them or care about them.

One way or another, the American two party system is now on its last legs.
