I think 2014 is going to be a road map for the next decade. If Republicans like Cruz, Lee, etc. take the helm and VERBALIZE CONSERVATIVE TENETS AND VALUES this country will vote Republican for decades on end. The failures of liberals are CLEAR to those that are not completely brainwashed.
The big issue is getting demonizing the big-money Republicans and getting them OUT OF THE WAY.
If it were only true. The problem is changing demographics. We have entered the era of tribal politics. The Dems are on the verge of becoming the permanent majority party. What state that Obama won in 2012 will the Dems lose in 2016? The Dems start with a huge head start in electoral votes. They can concentrate on a few battleground states and coast in from there.
That is no doubt true...as far as it goes. But there is also a highly disturbing aspect to your argument: There are a helluva lot of Americans who ARE completely brainwashed.
