The GOP peaked on Nov. 4 this year, then promptly surrendered. It’s all downhill from here. I won’t vote for another R for some time. Perhaps when they actually find spines I’ll consider it again. For now, however, I’m done.
“Mor-ton!”
The GOP has already begun it’s dramatic death spiral
A year ago, I said that Axlegrease and Plouffy could elect Charles Manson as a Democrat POTUS in '16 if they wanted. Now I'm not so sure. It won't be a dull two years ahead, that's for sure.
The GOPE and these people who provide them cover and support can all go straight to H-E-L-L.
I reject those assumptions.

Someone needs to revise the lyrics to "Four Dead in Ohio" to "Four Dead in Benghazi" (in honor of Her Heinous).
"Jihad soldiers and MANPADS coming,
We're left here on our own,
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Benghazi..."

And they’re still a bunch of surrender monkey weenies.
Something tells me that Fred and I would disagree on the parameters of this judgment.
“Then there’s the ideological direction of the Democratic party. It’s tilting left. All the energy and passion is on the left. The party is being McGovernized.”
LOL. The dems were McGovernized in 1972 and have never looked back.
Yup. I’m old.
The Republicans lost my trust and support when they nominated McCain.
They have a long way to go to earn them back.
No it doesn't. The only division is between the political elite who want open borders, and the large majority of Americans who don't.
Even blue state Oregon voted 2-1 in November to deny drivers licenses to illegals.
How could one forget MorTON?
Barnes shows he’s as clueless as the GOPe leadership.
Republicans need to attract more votes from minorities, particularly Hispanics.Democrats need to attract white voters. The Republicans shouldn’t let them.
Most of all, Republicans must avoid self-inflicted wounds such as prompting another government shutdownto say that is to say that they must cave on every budgetary issue. If not every issue. Obama can “shut down the government” any time he wants. And Fred Barnes will cooperate preemptively in blaming the Republicans for it.
or nominating a poor presidential candidate.That pretty much boils down to not GOPe again. I wish I were confident on that score.
OK, I'll bite. Which state does not have a legislative chamber?
That’s why they are pretending that they can’t do anything about Obola’s executive amnesty.
Each year, more than four million older Americans die off, thank God.
Young Republican voters helped midterm election’s red wave, exit polls show
The party, or parties, that can better sell their message for the future to the younger voters will be the party(ies) that control the future of the country.
The GOPe did itself no favors by forcing their establishment candidates on the voters in this year's primaries, but they were able to do so because younger voters tend to participate less in primary elections than do the older voters. Fortunately, the Democrats do no better with the younger voters in primaries than do the Republicans.
In my not so humble opinion, the Republicans (due to their overwhelming wins in the 2014 general elections) have an opportunity with the younger voters. Several prominent younger Republicans are entering office. Several were show-cased after the election, namely Mia Love, Tim Scott, the young lady in the WV House, and the NY congresswoman, etc.
None of the Democrats who recently won have been show-cased as anything; they were simply older commies who somehow managed to hold on to their butts in hard-core leftist territory.
Older politicians of both parties need to be ridiculed out of existence. They need to go away. Until they do, people just need to point and laugh, and throw tomatoes, or something. The shift in younger voters toward the GOP is discussed in the link above. Republicans need to exploit that shift with younger candidates; younger conservative candidates; younger common-sense conservative candidates.
Republicans need to talk to younger voters. Democrats already do, from the time the youngsters start walking. If they never hear an opposing point of view, they will only have the leftist message circling through their grey matter. Younger voters are not children. They are young adults who have been lied to all their lives, and their prospects for the future are particularly dismal at the moment. That makes for fertile ground in the compost pile of ideas.
