A very nice liberal broadcaster asked me earlier this week whether I am worried about the future of the Republican party. Funny question.
There are 25 states in which the state legislatures and governorships are controlled by Republicans, and two states with executive/legislative divides in which there are Republican legislative majorities large enough to override a veto from the Democratic governor. Sixty-eight of the countrys 98 partisan state legislative chambers are Republican-run. There are only four states with Democratic governors and legislatures; it is true that these include one of our most populous states (California), but the majority of Americans live in states in which there are Republican trifectas or veto-proof legislative majorities. Two-thirds of the nations governors are Republicans; more than two-thirds of our state legislative houses are under Republican control. Republicans control both houses of Congress and have just won the presidency. Democrats control the dean of students office at Oberlin. And Democrats have responded to their recent electoral defeat with riots, arson, and Alex Joneslevel conspiracy theories. Progressives have just raised $5 million to press for a recount in several states. Clinton sycophant Paul Krugman, sounding exactly like every well-mannered conspiracy nut youve ever known, says the election probably wasnt hacked, but conspiracies do happen and now that its out there (who put it out there?) an independent investigation is called for.

And the Connecticut state Senate is tied. Connecticut GOP, make sure to protect the state senators - Hillary might try to have one commit Arkancide.
The circumstance of the GOPe right now is really a sight to see. They did everything in their power to prevent Trump from supposedly destroying the Republican Party and they fail miserably, but then they end up in the strongest position they’ve been in for nearly a century.
So true, I guess WFB is doing 360s in his grave...
Honey Badger don't give a shit about anything National Review says anymore, and wishes people would quite posting NR links here.
Nice write-up! I add the left-wing lunacy of men in the ladies’ room. Pay no attention to the Middle East in flames... because men can now take a dump in the women’s bathroom! We’re saved!
