So why is this the case, after Bush won in 2004 and the same thing was said about the Democrat party?

2 reasons, imo:

1. The democrats had and still have the benefit of owning the MSM. As long as they own the media, they will never die. Like it or not, voters listen and respond to the narrative constructed by the media.

2. We have probably crossed the threshold of those that are dependent upon government or those that are receiving checks from the government. I'm not sure the GOP can continue to stand on principles of less government (and less checks) and win over a majority of the electorate.

I certainly think it's possible for the GOP to be resurrected. But only after a national collapse or at least a victory in a major offensive against the media.

Historically, a dictatorship follows a national collapse. After the economy collapses and the EBT cards start flashing "ERROR" or the money is inflated to worthlessness, the urban feral youths and inner city tribal parasites will invade the white suburbs to rape, murder and pillage. The frightened sheeple will beg 0bama to save them and he will respond by declaring martial law, suspending the Constitution and appointing himself El Presidente-for-Life.

I think your quite correct, but I’d add that it may actually be best if the GOP goes away. Its a severely damaged brand as a result of the relentless labeling as racist by the MSM Propaganda outlets. The demographic shift in the U.S. mitigate against it ever recovering to the extent it could play a significant role in national politics. And, actually, as the culture/country further atomizes into special interest groups the idea of “National” parties may be going the way of the dinosaur. The whole idea of the “Big Tent” party may be over. If you take Anglo-White Conservatives out of the U.S. political equation, what’s left? A hodge podge of special interest groups competing to get to the trough; they’ll fall out soon enough and further fracture the political scene.

Amnesty for illegal immigrants will succeed in creating millions of new pro-leftist voters who will succeed in suppressing the total pro-conservative vote, for many decades to come.

“I certainly think it’s possible for the GOP to be resurrected. But only after a national collapse or at least a victory in a major offensive against the media. “

Even as I was hoping for a Romney victory, I was telling my conservative friends that should he get elected Mitt Romney would be the last Republican president of my lifetime. Demographics are a b*tch!
