No majority is permanent in politics.

In 2008 it looked like the GOP was finished.

The 2008 version of the GOP was finished. Is finished.

First came the tea party. Then came Trump populism. No way any GOPe candidate would have beaten the left this past election. Someone like Kasich or Bush or Rubio? Even Cruz. It would have been a total slaughter.

O’Reilly’s got the ‘young demographic’... the 16 to 25 year olds...(or there abouts). That’s a huge culture shift.

It’s the canary in the political coal mine.

A demographic change has happened - boomers finally getting old. Power’s shifting away from ‘the young’ and their ‘ideals’ - - to ‘the adults’. It will stay that way forever (barring a major war - in which case all bets are off anyhow)... it means ‘grown ups’ of the Republican party will stay in power until democrats figure out their childlike ways are politically offensive... Which is NOT going to happen. Frank Luntz senses the change but he’s not sure why it’s happening.
