A very nice liberal broadcaster asked me earlier this week whether I am worried about the future of the Republican party. Funny question.
There are 25 states in which the state legislatures and governorships are controlled by Republicans, and two states with executive/legislative divides in which there are Republican legislative majorities large enough to override a veto from the Democratic governor. Sixty-eight of the country’s 98 partisan state legislative chambers are Republican-run. There are only four states with Democratic governors and legislatures; it is true that these include one of our most populous states (California), but the majority of Americans live in states in which there are Republican trifectas or veto-proof legislative majorities. Two-thirds of the nation’s governors are Republicans; more than two-thirds of our state legislative houses are under Republican control. Republicans control both houses of Congress and have just won the presidency. Democrats control the dean of students’ office at Oberlin. And Democrats have responded to their recent electoral defeat with riots, arson, and Alex Jones–level conspiracy theories. Progressives have just raised $5 million to press for a recount in several states. Clinton sycophant Paul Krugman, sounding exactly like every well-mannered conspiracy nut you’ve ever known, says the election “probably wasn’t hacked,” but “conspiracies do happen” and “now that it’s out there” — (who put it out there?) — “an independent investigation is called for.”

Paul Krugman is really an insane nut job.
The NR is dead to me, just like my felonious brother.
Fair Warning:
Kevin Williamson IS the anti-conservative GOP Establishment.
Right answer:
No, unlike you and the Left and many in the GOP, I don't care about your stupid political parties or your stupid political future. I care about the future of America and want to see her restored a the Free Constitutional Republic she was created to be.
Not having read it yet, just- they are wearing a uniform. From the hair (ugly hair) to the footwear.
What hath Obama wrought?
The Tea Party Rebellion followed closely by the Trump Revolution has all but knocked the progressives out of power from sea to shining sea! We now have the opportunity of a lifetime to actually roll back the excesses and restore constitutional limits on government!
Go, Trump, GO!!
-—The longer-term problem for the Democrats is that they are finding out that they have to play by their own rules, which are the rules of identity politics. This is a larger problem for the Democratic party than is generally appreciated. The Democratic party is an odd apparatus in which most of the power is held by sanctimoniouslittle old liberal white ladies with graduate degrees and very high incomes — Hillary Rodham Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Randi Weingarten-—
Dr. Mr.Paul Krugman,
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad world
The backseat is the best place for one with a knife in hand to sit — just sayin’
Fidel Castro is dead to me!
I didn’t read it, but I dearly love the title
I won’t click on an NR link. They’ve shown their true colors.
It is insanely funny that in the a##clowns first 4 they had the senate the house and the presidency and they did nothing compared to what they could have done, thank God!
Progressives deal in irrelevancies even when they are IN power. They simply do not connect with the physical world.
A good example is their fascination with “climate change”, and how they may use that to impose their version of a centralized “efficient” governance of the masses. No real science supports the basic arguments that mankind can in any way, shape or manner, alter the climate of the earth in sufficient measure to have an effect in more than very local and isolated sites, or that carbon dioxide has any effect as their change agent.
This way, while they are temporarily out of power, they have free time to invent entirely new irrelevancies, and even spin them up in their ivory towers, awaiting the time when the tide turns and they once again have opportunity seize the levers of power. And again try to launch their lunacies upon the world.
I think the REAL lesson of the 2016 election for Democrats will be that they have to run a Black man for POTUS. Which means someone like Cory Booker or Keith Ellison (who has little appeal to White America). If they don’t, the Black vote will stay home. That is how dependent they are on the Black vote. Even if they run a Brown, the Black vote will stay home.
November 2016
Cubs win.
Hillary loses.
Castro dies.
I’ll try not to gloat.
Guilt, and the media's promotion of uncertainty of ones self for the "greater good". This war is long from over.
Had to throw the obligatory dig at Trump here.
