No. And anyone who thinks they need “saving” is living in a bubble. America is trending Blue pretty quickly. The GOP can only rely upon one quickly diminishing demographic. Minorities WILL be the majority soon enough. People vote Liberal in greater numbers. It is only the peculiarities of America’s particular political system that Conservatives even have much of a say in things. Social issues are trending HARD blue.

Why do I say this aside from the fact that it is true? Because for far too long we follow those engaged in “happy talk”, saying what we want to hear. What happens is we get excited for America finally “waking up”. How many Conservative “pundits” did you see talking that it was almost a forgone conclusion that Obama would lose in 2012? How many posts here cheering “the end of the Obama era”.

And yet, on election day, when it all comes down to it all . . . we lose and we lose big. Will the GOP take back the Senate this year? Probably. But ONLY because the Dims have so many seats in Red States to defend.

This is only the breath before the great shift Left in America. And if we engage in wishful thinking, as we have done for far too long, we will wonder how America was stolen right from under us.

And do you have a plan to circumvent that scenario?
