You honestly believe that? In the face of all evidence that disproves it? Wow.

NO Republican has won a victory like that since 1984, the last hurrah of the Baby Boomer voters totally dominating the electorate. Every election since has grown tighter and tighter. Since the early 1990’s when Gen X came of age and began voting, Democrats have won 4 elections and controlled the presidency for 16 years while Republicans have won 3 elections and controlled the presidency for 12 years. The Republican candidates have seen their popular votes dwindle to the point they have to depend upon the electoral college to win, which is also dwindling.

No Republican will ever win at those levels again with the current electorate’s increasing leftism and diversity. Warren could very well win (as could any Democrat). We’ll be lucky to squeak through the electoral college a time or two more. Then the country will demand, and get, the electoral college eliminated.

You and I are in total agreement. All demographic tides are surging against us. In around a decade I expect we'll finally succumb.
