Given that almost 50% of adult Americans don't pay a penny in income tax, and given the increasing numbers on various forms of government programs for the redistribution of income, we may have seen our last Republican president...ever.

I hope I'm wrong.

Given the demographic trends, I think you’re correct.

The only confounding factors I can see would be

1) markets finally puke on money creation making entitlements too expensive to continue at present levels

2) a 3rd party candidate (would have to be a liberal analog of Ross Perot, egotistical, famous and rich) lets us win with a plurality.
Bloomberg is one possibility, but he’s tight with the Clintons and would never oppose Hillary.
