A tectonic shift is occurring in American politics. The old guard of the Democratic Party will soon be far too ancient to contest an election. This creates serious problems for the party once 2016 passes. Its obvious that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden will soon announce their candidacy, but who will fill the ranks when theyre gone?
Its important to know that there was once a socially conservative generation deemed "The Greatest Generation." These, the heroes of Anzio and Guadalcanal, gave birth to a litter of selfish creatures called "baby boomers." The baby boomers soon colonized communal settlements known as colleges. Yes, it was here in this garden of earthly delight that millions of children sowed the seeds of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, which would destroy our civilization.
This is the cultural revolution that most prominent democrats belong. Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are all remnants of that era. The '60s revolutionaries were fierce and brazen because liberalism was brazen during that time period. But now, times have changed. Liberalism predominates and modern Democrats are left with nothing to rebel against. The revolution has ended and the time of the milquetoast liberal has begun.
In her youth, Hillary Clinton dipped her hands in the blood of the revolution that uprooted our Christian society. She and her contemporaries were fanatical, and their fanaticism helped turn them into popular politicians. Indeed, I challenge any reader to produce an example of a new Democratic face that could compete with Hillary. There is no competition even among her own cohort.
It is my firm belief that in two years well have another Clinton in the White House. "Uncle" Joe Biden is the only other serious contender for the Democratic nomination. According to polling data, Hillary runs 40 points ahead of her nearest Democratic competitor in the state of Iowa. If one supposes, as I do, that Republicans cannot win a national majority in 2016, then theres no way she can lose. But what happens after shes gone?
The Republicans have time on their side. While the Democratic lower ranks are barren, the Republicans have no shortage of rising stars. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and Joni Ernst will all be around for decades to come. Though none of these people stand much of a chance against Hillary, they may sweep the field in the 2020s. Where is the new generation of democratic leaders who will stand against them?
We caught a glimpse of the future last fall. The Republicans swept congress because Democratic resistance was so feeble. The Iowa race was a great example. Leaving politics aside, Ernst was infinitely more interesting than Bruce Braley. A motherly war veteran who packs a gun in her purse faced a sort of awkward-looking white guy. And Democrats ran awkward candidates across the entire country.
The difference between the parties is quite profound. Conservatives hate their establishment, and wait like hyenas around a dying elephant for its departure. Democrats have nothing but an establishment. What will happen when the Bruce Braleys of this world inherit the party? The Democratic tribe does a very good job at stirring itself up into a wild frenzy during presidential campaigns, but will the tribe be so inspired when its champions are gone?
Well, thats the future, what about the present? In 2016, Republicans will probably commit election suicide as usual. They run elections so poorly that Ive come to believe they actually enjoy losing. If Jeb Bush gets the nomination, then the election is as good as over. Theyll split the conservative vote among four or five minor candidates and allow a liberal Republican like Bush to take the nomination. Most true conservatives would rather be hit by a train than vote for Jeb Bush.
Liberals have the habit of not turning out in mid-term elections. With the Democratic warrior queen leading them into battle, turn out will not be a problem in 2016. Republicans may have youthful candidates on their side, but the culture is not. It goes without saying that our country is now center-left. The new liberal majority has many members in the GOP wanting to shift left. This adds another incentive to run a suicidal candidate like Jeb Bush.
Though the culture war ended many years ago, the culture warriors survived. Cunning, ruthlessness and cruelty hoisted them to the top. Itll be a different society when theyre gone. Hillary Clintons acceptance speech will almost certainly be the last gurgling bubbles of a sinking ship.
They pulled a 1/2 term, absentee Senator out of nowhere, and he’s a two-termer as President. The Democrats are not going away.
I’m not sure that Hillary! is the inevitable Dim candidate and I’m not sure she’ll even run - she was going to announce in the Spring, and I’ve read recently read that she won’t announce until July (something like time is on her side). While she has and will receive a boatload of money if she runs, I’ve read that Jim Webb is interested. While I would never vote for him, IMHO he might be a more formidable candidate than Hillary.
(The 10th anniversary of what?). (Yawn) My, how time flies. Politico got suckered into sponsoring a cocktail party at the 10th anniversary event marking the (gag) "Clinton Presidential Center."
Opportunistic Billy-boy hoped "stupid Americans" would ignore the details when he pontificated to an appreciative audience during the cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO: "We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class. This shows the importance of policy."
Pumping 2016 Hillary, he added: "We can do this again.
OOPS---Billy Boy plumb "forgot" infamous MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

World Net Daily reported November 14, 2014
BY Jerome R. Corsi / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife
NEW YORK Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.
MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, marginal children would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, Freakonomics, relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Grubers work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com ==

a. Sharia-loving Emir of Qatar accepted the Gitmo Five terrorists relocated in the Bergdahl swap---living happily ever after in the lap of luxury.
Though the leftist-induced “culture war” ended many years ago, the cunning, ruthless culture warriors survive-—still living on the hefty income they managed to skim off for themselves from their endless govt spending. Hillary Clintons 2016 acceptance speech will almost certainly be the last gurgling bubbles of the sinking leftist ship.
So who is 2016 candidate Hillary beholden to? Who is lying in wait for her presidential pen to unleash zillions of tax dollars in interest?

The likes of Cory Booker will step in. Nature abhors a vacuum.
What did Obama accomplish, before winning the White House twice?
Well...he did defeat the invincible Hillary in the 2008 primary. That counts fer sumptin, don’t it?
“What, exactly, has Hillary every accomplished?”
She is the most brilliant, most accomplished, smartest, most mentally agile, caring, loving, in-tune-with-everything woman who has ever been a co-president, Secrecatry of State, all-around superior intellectual who has ever walked the face of the earth.
/Sarcasm/
IMHO
I don’t know if that should count...but when I read the line “Democrat warrior queen”...I threw up in my mouth a little...
You had no replies to your post. Why is that possible? People deeply afraid of being monitored by the halfies, incoherent elitism or just plain stupidity? There may be other genetic options. Good post, Lake Living.
Re: “What makes you say that Ted Cruz cannot win nationally?”
In Texas, in 2012, Mitt Romney got 100,000 more votes than Cruz.
Romney also beat Cruz by percentage:
Romney: 57.1%
Cruz: 56.4%
Re: “Then you have voters who only vote for Presidential Candidates and leave the rest of the ballot blank.”
That’s why I provided the percentage numbers.
Romney got a higher percentage of Texas presidential voters than Cruz’s percentage of Texas senate voters.
That is meaningful, because there are Democrats, too, who vote just for president and leave the rest of the ballot blank.
By the way, the only Texas exit poll I can find on Cruz’s senate race shows Cruz got just 35% of the Latino vote.
Here’s the link:
Finally, why don’t give me a list of the states that Cruz will win, but Romney lost.
In other words, please show me how Cruz gets to 270 electoral votes.
BTW, what were Reagan’s poll numbers in January 1979 as well? Carter was polling 54% in ‘79. Gee, how did Reagan manage to get the 270 in ‘80, LOL? You are a defeatists of the lowest order who would of justified sucking the Crown in 1774. “We can’t win General Washington, the numbers say so...”
I have a better question.
Could Reagan win California if he ran for president in 2016?
The answer is no.
In the 1980 presidential election, Reagan got just 52.7% of the vote in California.
In 1980, about 20% of California voters were non-white.
In 1980, almost 70% of non-whites voted against Reagan.
In 2016, almost 50% of California voters are non-white.
In 2016, if Reagan won the same racial percentage he won in 1980, he would lose California by at least 5 points.
Re: “You should be glad though, the GOP are winning the war for open Primaries so that limited government candidates will be undermined.”
I have no idea what you are talking about.
I have always supported closed primaries.
The GOP can have closed primaries any time it wants them.
All we need to do is pay for our own primary elections.
Then we can write our own election rules.
Instead, a majority of Republicans, like you, demand that taxpayers pay for our primary elections.
Then you complain because the GOP has to obey state and federal election laws.
