That is because the Dems don't have a conservative wing (it became the RINOs)
Great article! I don’t know to what degree this is true - a little or a lot. Regardless, I still think the Republicans will be in a strong position in 2016 - but Republicans are in a war as well, remember? I don’t think the Dem’s will be able to energize their base in the next election as before in 2008, no matter who they run. Fortunately, a lot of gains were made in state legislatures for our side. This will really help for a good while. If the SCOTUS strikes down part of Obamacare (individual mandate) and thereby weakens it, then perhaps in time it can be eliminated. Amnesty is still the big, if not THE biggest issue on the horizon. It would change the demographics of the U.S. forever and the Republicans would have an impossible time going forward. This is the real nuclear option and it looks like Obama can’t wait to press the button. If the Republicans don’t see this as their hill to die on, regardless of the outcome (and I don’t think they see it that way), then I think America is really over as we have been fearing. “The thief comes but to kill, to steal and to destroy” and the progressives are in league with him.
i did say an unknown in my statement but i think its a road they may fear to tread again. Warren is better known than Obama was at this time 8 years ago but nowhere near the profile of Hillary so maybe she qualifies on that basis.
They don’t have a very large governor base to pull from. They generally make the most interesting and well known candidates.
Apples and oranges. Our Republic was still strong back then. Medicare and the EPA was just being born. Our economic and personal freedoms are greatly diminished as compared to the 60s.
Today, at all levels of government, bureaucrats and sadistic politicians are controlling more and more of our lives.
With Obamacare our very lives will be in hands of evil bureaucrats.
We likely have within our borders upwards of 40 million humans who are not citizens of our Republic. They have no desire to learn English, they don't appreciate our culture and are repulsed by our History. They look to government for freebies and will in a vote for the RAT party in governing majority.
What is crazy is that amnesty will truly be checkmate for our Republic --And the GOPe will happily go along with this demographic destruction of our Republic.
The situation today is much much more dire than the 60s. We are likely living through the last days of our Republic.
Excellent Analysis.
” Horowitz’s point was that what he calls “neo-Communists,” such as Tom Hayden, took over leadership of the Democrat party at that time. Obama is from the same red-diaper lineage.”
Horowitz is correct.
