The racial political relation isn’t as tight as the doom sayers want to think. 10 years ago we were supposed to be looking at a permanent conservative majority, a few years before that the libs were insisting their majority was going to be permanent, now you’re insisting the dems are going to have a permanent majority. Meanwhile out here in reality the country is divided basically in 3rds: 1/3 basically conservative, 1/3 basically liberal, and the mushy middle. And it’s that middle that decides elections, and makes sure there are no permanent majorities.
I will lay out EXACTLY what will happen over the next handful of elections:
2 years from now unless the GOP really screws it up (basically by obsessing on Obama, forget him, he’ll be gone) whoever they nominate will win the White House. With small coattails in Congress (very small owing to how much they already control).
2 years after that, the first mid term. Barring another 2002 botch by the dems the GOP loses a bunch of seats. Again given the numbers they already have expect it to be major.
2 years after that, as much as America loves to loves to undercut the president’s party in midterm they still love to re-elect presidents.
2 years after that, second midterm. GOP bloodbath.
2 years after than the mushy middle will have had their fill of the GOP in the White House and the dem nominee wins.
But then things reset, same pattern as above, just switch the parties, GOP gains in the midterms, dem pres gets re-elected, another 2nd midterm bloodbath, and then the GOP gets the White House back.
The mushy middle decides elections, and the mushy middle grows weary of the guys in charge. There are no permanent majorities. And anybody that thinks otherwise doesn’t pay attention to the plainly obvious highly repetitive cycle of election results.
