Because I don't see how demographic shifts favoring the Republicans will result in the last Republican president we'll ever see.

It's a silly prediction anyway. Even if demographic shifts do turn the nation left, the parties would just realign along the new axis to accomodate it. The two-party system is too deeply written into this country's governing structure to be erased like Morris cavalierly concludes.

You make a very good point, there. Today's Republican Party is much closer to JFK's Democratic Party of 1960.

As the center shifts, both parties will shuffle to stay just to the left or right of it.

youre exactly correct..........Does anyone think that if Woodrow Wilson or Calvin Coolidge were transported from 1920 to today that either would win even 100 electoral votes????

We'll still have GOP Presidents but they will be like Arnold or Guliani and theyll be still called conservative because based on the political environment of the year 2030, they probably will be.
