I am. If things work out right, there is no future for the Democrat party.

Nonsense...this is the third election in a row where the gop candidate received fewer votes than the dim.

If you want to play the EV card we've lost NV, NM, CO, VA which were once reliably Red states. NC and FL have become swing states.

From 1968-1988 CA voted Republican. Now it's turned Blue.

We have a massive expansion of government that shows no sign of being scaled back...at least not until January 20, 2017. But we'll see what actually happens.

Okay, then what you are saying is that if the positions were reversed, you’d wouldn’t have a problem with it.

LOL.

I would!

We control the White House

We control the U.S. Senate

We control the House of Representatives

We have 33 Republican governors

We control 37 of the Legislative Upper Houses

We control 33 of the Legislative Lower Houses

We have absolute veto-proof majorities in 25 states.

The Democrats have absolute veto-proof majorities in 6 states.

Here is a workup I recently put together:

The Republicans should be able to maintain a lock on the Senate and the majority of the state governorships and legislatures, because Republicans are the majority in a majority of the states.

The House and the Presidency are a serious problem though. Republicans continue to control the House because of successful gerrymandering. Republicans can only continue to win the Presidency due to the Electoral College. I doubt that a Republican candidate is going to win the popular vote again in my lifetime, because of the overwhelming Democrat majority in the urban areas.

The Republican long term strategy needs to be to continue to build support in all of the rural majority states and write off California and most of New England.

Thanks, CA & NYC. And a special thanks to illegals.

I agree that it's counterproductive to make assumptions about the demise of the Dems. We know how the Left keeps chugging along. But I'm optimistic that Trump will be the one to finally do something about the border and the millions of criminal foreign "voters" in our country. I also think he'll work with (pressure?) states help ensure the integrity of the vote.
