... There are lots of reasons the partisan division has become so lopsided in favor of the GOP. The Democrats and their friends in the government departments of elite universities and on the editorial desk at the New York Times will say it's because the legislative district maps are drawn unfairly, because the votes of non-whites are suppressed in the South and in rural areas, and just about any other excuse they can think of to suggest the Republicans are cheating. In truth, the voters just aren't buying any more what the Democrats have to sell.
The Democrats, from FDR to Bill Clinton, were the party of the working man. They are that no longer, despite what their new "Better Deal" plan may say.
The realignment GOP strategists have anticipated since 1980 is at hand. All the Republicans have to do to become the permanent majority is to deliver on what they promised, continue to grow their vote, and prove the disparate wings of the party the economic conservatives, the social conservatives, the Trump voters, the Reagan Democrats and those who join the party because they are born into it because
Lincoln can work together to get things done.

“in favor of the GOP”
Haha ...that was a good one.
In other words you can’t rebuild a party on insane rage, finger pointing, blame shifting, virtue signaling, and economic theories that fail every time they’re tried.
The Democrats are the WELFARE PARTY!!! And the Party of DEATH...(except for killer criminals).
Bingo
The democrats were the demographic party...Trump busted that wide open.
We need to be careful about drawing that conclusion. Obama and the Labour Party in Britain proved that you can still win IF you can come up with something that gets minorities and young skulls o’ mush off the couch to go and vote.
I suspect they are going to try student loan forgiveness next time.
He is assuming that voter ID will be pushed through and that illegals will be largely forced to leave.
I hope I am wrong, but the decision is in the hands of people who fundamentally hate America and hate freedom. I just hope they love their own lives enough to do the right thing.
You mean the demagogic party... LOL
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Speaking of presidents from FDR to Bill Clinton, patriots are reminded that Founding States had constitutionally empowered the individual sovereign states, not the feds, to shape their own domestic policies, the unconstitutionally big federal government now wrongly deciding domestic policy for the states.
This is evidenced by the following excerpts from the writings of Thomas Jefferson, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices, and Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons , our property, our reputation and religious freedom [emphasis added]. Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphasis added]." Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe (See middle of third column.)
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Remember in November 2018 !
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitutions Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal governments powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal governments limited powers listed above.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
In the end, perhaps there’s a silver lining to Obambi’s having won two terms on white guilt:
1) John McCain will never be President
2) Hillary Clinton will never be President
3) White guilt is spent
Other than that... what a bloody mess that subversive America-hater left us to deal with.
Romney so blew an easy win, but there, too, is the benefit that had Romney won, Barack Hussein would still be viable politically.
God works in strange ways.
Shhhhhh!
Republicans will attempt to disenfranchize the deceased. Many on these voters are veterans. Some even fought to preserve the Union in our Civil War. The Republicans should be ashamed.
That has, in all probability, never been true. It certainly hasn't been true in the last half a century.
The Democrats, ever since the utter debacle that was Jimmy Carter, have been the party of left-wing extremists, promoting absurdist ideas as mainstream and demeaning anyone who dares disagree. Before that, they were just a gaggle of neo-socialists, big government plutocrats, and corrupt union manipulators. With a handful of Southern racists thrown in for the spice.
Like Jack said, "Go sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."
They don’t have any idea.
As I keep posting at www.bigleaguepolitics.com the voter registration changes are against the Dems in 12/14 battleground states. The ONLY states where Ds have gained are OR and CO.
They have lost substantial ground in PA, FL, and AZ, but also in DE, MD, IA, NC, NV, NH, ME, NM.
“We’re all stocked up here”
Some absolute zingers in that movie...
“Quit worrying - you’ll be back on your knees in no time”
What movie was that?
Still won't be enough to tip the scales...too much weed available.
