” Hopefully it’s a major issue for Shillery, who would supplant Harrison as #2.”

Let’s see if she can dry out in detox first : )

[Impy]

It’s hard to imagine MD, NY, CA, or MA voting GOP for President ever again.

But we don’t need them to. PA, MN, WS, MI, OTOH, can go Republican and taking them would mean an easy victory.

” Yep, I am a regular old Bush-bot, everybody knows that, especially OWF”

LOL!!

I did a real tap dance on her, just before she “left”

[Beagle8U]

My point is move on, and do better next time.

Unfortunately, that country has died and it is now going on two generations since we saw a map like that. Between illegal immigrants and raising up a couple of generations of takers more than makers, that kind of electoral landscape is gone for a long time. I'm worried that if HilleRat is the nominee, it might look more like the ‘36 map.

“If TedCruz and Scott Walker were the ticket, they would win... including CT and ME.”

A Republican will not win either of those two states. For Presidential elections, those two states are conquered territory under the democrat caliphate.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

There are many formulas the GOP could get to 271.

Pick up a couple of states in the Midwest such as OH and IA.

Pick up a couple of states in the West such as NV and CO.

Pick up a couple of states in the South such as FL and VA.

Pick up a couple of states in the Northeast such as PA and NH.

History shows the public is usually ready for a change after eight years.

Changing demographic factors and increased public dependency on government largesse are factors which benefit the Democrats, but anything can happen in politics. The 2014 midterm elections demonstrated that the GOP can make inroads behind the blue curtain and did so in states such as MA, MD, WI, MI, ME, and IL.

He did that in the interview with Bret Baier a while back.

I watched it on youtube just now and you are right.

There is no blue wall. Its utter poppycock. The GOP have not put up a semi-worthy candidate since 2000. If we nominate a good candidate we will win.

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

If TedCruz and Scott Walker were the ticket, they would win... including CT and ME.

Hey bartender!!

I'll have one of what ExCTCitizen is having!

[Jean2]

“If They’re Smart” That is the key. Unfortunately I do not have a great deal of faith in the GOP for that to be the case. Certainly not among the GOPe.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Just one more reason to apportion EVs based on congressional districts and award the remaining two in each state to the winner of the popular vote in that state.

This prevents Chicago, NYC, LA, Detroit and San Francisco from making Illinois, New York, California and Michigan from being slam dunks for the Dems.

You are right. When a Republican candidate can knock off a incumbent dem Governor Maryland in the last election proves that!

Arguing with f***tards is akin to reading to a bag of cement - useless.

“It’s hard to imagine MD, NY, CA, or MA voting GOP for President ever again.”

100% agree. Not happening. Spare the “Well Ronald Reagan won them back in 1984!” schlock; many of those voters, who were real Americans are dead and been replaced with imports that have ZERO idea what 1984 in the USA was.

“And it was a different time too, a very different time and world and country.

No way could have an Obama been elected POTUS back then.”

G-D right!!!

“They could use a guy like Franco HERE IN THE USA right about now.”

“Chevy Chase has really porked up.”

The drugs and booze have caught up to him. It usually does.

Obama splaines it to them:

Anyone non-white or non-male or non-Christian was either a slave or second class citizen who couldn't ride in the front of public buses.

Then the GOP in response to civil rights bill privatized everything and only invited white males (and their wives) leaving the minorities homeless, or was that those subprime loans that Bush forced on them?

Then Obama passed Obamacare and the stimulus and everything got better, except the equality ratio......Obam says he needs another four years to make things fair and equal.

And now the Muzzies love us , just dont use the I word, its a slur just like 'ni..er', 'fag..t' and 'il..gal' are.

“...He was defeated in the Democratic primary by W. Wilson Goode, who went on to win election as the city’s first black Mayor. ....”

...the same Wilson Goode who would then go on to order a real live incendiary BOMB dropped from a police helicopter on top of a house in a black neighborhood and reduce it - and half the nighborhood - to fire charred ruins...

Just sayin’....

“I do not think that I will see another Republican president in my lifetime”. Well if we get nominees like Jeb Bush, I don’t much care if we ever see another Republican president. I’m just sick and tired of the establishment pretending to be something they are not. I still feel dirty for voting for McCain.
