Predictions of doom for the Republican Party are all the rage in the media, but the real story of this election cycle (so far) is the collapse of Democrat turnout. Some of this is no doubt due to the difficulty in generating enthusiasm after more than 7 years of foreign policy disasters and historically low economic growth under Obama. Another factor is the sheer unappealing nature of Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders is the sole person in the party capable of generating excitement, playing to the far left wing and youth after freebies (and so badly educated by the leftist educational establishment that they do not understand the disaster that socialism brings). But even Bernie’s enthusiastic crowds may be driving away more moderate Democrats.
Two analysts, Michael Barone (here and here) and the Huffington Post’s Zach Carter, have pulled together what ought to scare the pantsuit off Hillary. (OK, sorry, that’s an image that won’t go away quickly enough.)
Consider the South Carolina Dem Primary.
Democrats in 2016 are only getting about two-thirds of the primary votes that they received eight years ago.
Republican turnout in the South Carolina primary, by contrast, was up more than 70 percent from 2008.
South Carolina's turnout numbers are not an anomaly. They're consistent with other primaries to date. Republicans are psyched. Democrats are demoralized.

Not going to happen. If Hillary gets the nomination, she’ll be President. She has the precinct captains in the urban areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia in her cash-filled pocket. The only spanner in the works is Trump because we can’t predict what will happen. He’s no McCain or Romney.

Career politicians Cruzbio are losers like Romney and McCain because the Dems have the template to beat them. Trump, OTOH, they have no plan of attack. He can hit them from all angles after the GOP spit on him.
” will undoubtedly resurrect themselves as the new National Socialist Democrat Party”
I think they should name it the American Workers Socialist Party.
Sounds somewhat familiar...
The Democrat party has been pushing liberalism so hard for so long, that their base has been driven completely insane.
When one of the signature issues of a political party is to literally remove the identity between biological male and female and make that a matter of opinion, you know it's in trouble.
Most people, even lifelong Dem voters and even, dare I say, liberals, aren't going to buy into that.
Being forced to choose between a felon and a commie in their own primary must be a drag for many.
Not the democrats I know. I have never seen such loathing of one of our candidates. If he really is “our.”
