There will be elections, but they will be “Chicago Style” elections. If you want to see where the US will be in 16 years look at the state of Illinois today. Back when I was a kid the state had a workable GOP downstate that could offset the Daley machine in Chicago. The GOP kept trying to run consensus candidates and moderates. They threw away all their principles one by one and eventually the only difference between the two parties was who would offer more goodies. That was always the Democrats. Now there is no effective GOP anyplace in the state and no matter how bad things get the Democrats cannot lose, because they are the only ones on the ballot.

That will be the state of the US probably no later than 2020. We are becoming a one party state like Russia, Venezuela or anyplace else the the socialists have taken power and held it for a protracted period. The election of 2012 was the last chance to break the hold of the Democrat machine. By 2016 they will have had a decade to put their people in place in every part of the judiciary and bureaucracy. No matter which party wins the elections after that point, the socialists will be the ones calling the shots.

Even if a solid conservative wins the White House every effort he/she makes will be thwarted by bureaucrats and judges put in place by Obama. No president can survive that level of backstabbing and leaks, especially with a press that is all to eager to support the socialist party's line.
