When Socialist from both gop and dem came to power is when I became pessimistic
I am no longer a Republican. I went independent. I’ve had enough. They will just push Jeb in 2016. They can’t figure out that if they alienate their conservative base, they just lose.
At the same time, the Hispanic vote is becoming so large, I don’t think the Republican party can hold much national power very much longer anyway. A couple of decades or so should see the US go to being a one-party Democrat nation with a Democratic Party president, and control of both the House and the Senate. California is just a bellwether of what is to come.
I am ALWAYS early on my predictions, so maybe it takes to 2050, but it will come. The Republican party is dying right along with the USA.
