The Death of the GOP.

[R/T Hemi]

I think the writing is on the wall with respect to the Republican party. It was grand, it is old, and it is DEAD. Yep, DEAD. Please write this on your calendar, right now, today, because it's going to become more and more apparent in the years to come. The Republican party, the party that gave you Bush, Palin and Trump, will suffer an ignominious burial with few tears and little sorrow. Once the fetid corpse of the GOP is shoveled into the ditch and covered, we'll all rest a little easier.

Life will be much better without Republicans.

There is really no point in arguing my point here. In fact, I'm willing to bet that if you were a Republican during the time that party had a pulse and functioning brain cells, you're too embarrassed to admit to it now. You've probably burned all your red ties and taken down all the pictures of Ronny Reagan. You're probably already cancelled your automatic withdraws to the GOP. You're probably wondering how 8 years of Bush could have caused something this terrible to happen. And admit it, you're ashamed of your fellow Republicans for voting for Trump in the primaries.

Queue a nice funeral dirge for the GOP. Preferably something quick, then we can get on with some wild rock-n-rolling, beer drinking, celebrating of Hillary's victory!

[telcoman]

The GOP has been on a death spiral for years.
When a party like that picks a Palin and tries to sell her as qualified you know they are done
There are still a few that are brain dead and do not realize what is happening and believe what they hear on Fox news

Well said comrade! Everyone in favor of one party rule, extend your right arm in the air in salute, and repeat after me "Heil Hillary!"

[Bubba1]

Sadly, there are already many folks extending their right arms in salute shouting "Sieg Hair!!" If I were an RNC member, I'd be facepalming.
I don't necessarily think the GOP is dead, as decades of gerrymandering will keep them relevant in Congress, and the DNC shoots themselves in the foot as often as the RNC. But the RNC desperately needs a change in direction.

there are many countries that can suite your mentality. feel free to go there and spend a few years living under "equality" and "liberty" lol. you'll be back; i promise. venezuela, china, russia, etc all come to mind.

There is really no point in arguing my point here.

figures.... you came, spewed some BS, and refuse to debate/hearing the other side.

i do agree that the RNC needs to change its direction. but so does the DNC- the far left, socialist, communistic agenda they want to force upon us is what has killed many nations. i came from a country that was socialist, communist, and equality was rampant. everyone was equally broke. there was no incentive to work. anyone who did work, worked like a lazy dbag that took no pride in anything, because a union was there to back his 'rights to work'. hence why nothing good comes out of russia.

Crazy About the Presidency

Maureen Dowd AUG. 6, 2016

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/07/opini ... inion&_r=0

"WASHINGTON — IT is Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2017.

Donald Trump searches his drawer for a note from Barack Obama, something on heavy cream stationery with the White House insignia, maybe reiterating the Obama doctrine, “Don’t do stupid stuff.”


That puts Trump in a huff. How dare Obama depart without leaving the customary handwritten good-luck missive?

But there is nothing there."................

“It was a long, hot summer. But I was finally able to make the case to the voters that they had the wrong fruitcake. I wasn’t bonkers. Hillary was. She cannot handle pressure. I handle pressure. That pathological liar could never get her stories straight on those emails. She just got more and more tangled up, parsing her parsing. She’s disgusting. And people finally started reading that book by the Secret Service agent that I was pushing and the press was suppressing. It proved that she is truly unhinged and unbalanced.

“She scares her staff and blows up over anything. She’s a very angry person. She’s such an angry white person, she should be one of my supporters. I don’t know why she’s always grinning when I turn on the TV. And she’s practically stalking me. Every time I see her lately, she’s pictured around the White House. I should tell the Secret Service to get her tossed.”

The door opens. Trump looks up, expecting Mike Pence.

But it’s two orderlies in white coats collecting the ex-presidential candidate, who lost in a landslide to Hillary after spending the fall being treated at Bellevue under the provisions of the Flake Act. After all the cries of “Lock her up!” it turned out he was the one who got locked up.

“Mr. Trump, it’s time for your impulse-control/delusion-reduction therapy,” one orderly says soothingly. “We need to go early. It would be crazy to miss the swearing-in today of Madam President.”

CNN, as of Friday morning, even had Clinton below 270 electoral votes for the first time in a long time.
The biggest move is Ohio — from “toss-up” to “lean Republican.”
We're also moving Arizona from “toss-up” to “lean Republican.”

"The main forecasts continue to predict Clinton as the winner next week. According to FiveThirtyEight, Clinton has a 66.5 percent chance of winning the election, as Trump’s probability hovers around 33 percent. FiveThirtyEight predicts Clinton will take 294.2 electoral votes, while Trump will take 243.

Over at The Upshot, Clinton has an 84 percent chance of winning the election, compared to 16 percent for Trump. The Upshot also spoke with a number of teenage girls about the election and the effect it’s had on their feelings about themselves. A quarter of the girls polled said Clinton’s candidacy has “made them more likely to seek positions of leadership,” according to the poll. However, around half of the girls polled said Trump’s comments about women—he allegedly called former Miss Universe Alicia Machado "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping"—have affected the way they think about their own bodies.

Outlier of the day: Friday brought us some alarming statistics on perceptions around voter fraud in this election. On the campaign trail, Trump has repeatedly said the 2016 election is rigged and that he may not accept the outcome—unless he wins."

Trump has still not produced his tax returns or admitted that he was wrong on his birther beliefs.

So now you're rejecting CNN, NBC,CBS, and The Washington Post because they refute your bizarre fantasy? You've gone from drinking the DNC's koolaide, to mainlining the stuff. Just remember the old saying, history has a way of repeating itself.


If Trump, in your estimation is "Unfit for POTUS", then Hillary should automatically be disqualified as the issue was started by her camp:
Fact checking the media — yes, the Clinton machine did start the birther movement

No, Howie isn't rejecting them. Five-thirty-eight is talking about the ODDS of a Clinton win, not polling numbers.

The Hillary campaign did NOT start the birther campaign no matter what the right wing media would like you to believe.
http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-s ... -movement/
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter ... -clinton-/
etc., etc. all explain why your belief that she did is false.

You are correct; neither is fit for the office but that belief is nothing new. Most reasonable people have known and/or said that for a long time. Now it's come down to deciding which one will cause the least damage to America and the world. Right now that would be Clinton because she is a known entity and a Clinton presidency would leave in place the checks and balances provided by the three branches of government. Allowing the Republicans (or the Democrats) to control all three branches would be the destruction of individual civil liberties and rights. Corporate rights and a "Christian" version of Sharia law will become the law of the land.

Study Finds Fact Checkers Biased Against Republicans

[srellim234]

That article says 0 about snopes.

It also doesn't address whether or not one side actually DOES lie more than the other. In the birther case, questioning President Obama's "Americanism" started with Andy Martin in Illinois when Obama was running for Congress back in 2004. A month before Clinton supporters started recirculating an anonymous email about it there was a post on the conservative site FreeRepublic.com.

Reality is what the individual person perceives it to be. And those who get polarized and close their minds (I'm not saying you because you are willing to discuss issues) will always have differing views of what the truth is.

The decimation of the Democratic Party, visualized
Since 2008, this is what the Democratic decimation has looked like. (Data sources are below.)

It can be hard to see the extent to which the Democratic collapse has occurred. Here is the percentage change in each case since 2008.

That whistling sound you hear is the party Thelma-and-Louiseing.

Two days after its candidate for the presidency suffered a stunning loss, the tension within the party became uncontainable. The Huffington Post reports that at a party meeting on Thursday, a staffer named Zach yelled at Donna Brazile, who took over as chair following the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz this summer.

"Why should we trust you as chair to lead us through this?" he said, according to HuffPo's Jennifer Bendery. He went on to accuse Brazile of having "backed a flawed candidate," Hillary Clinton, and having "plotted through this to support your own gain and yourself."

"You are part of the problem," Zach reportedly said.

We tend to focus on the loss of the presidency as the example of Democratic failure. That's blinkered. Since 2008, by our estimates, the party has shed 870 legislators and leaders at the state and federal levels -- and that estimate may be on the low side. As Donald Trump might put it, that's decimation times 50.

No wonder Zach got mad.

Oddsmaker: GOP Favored To Retain House, Expand Majority In Senate

The Republican party will hold on to their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and pick up more seats in the U.S. Senate, according to at least one oddsmaker.

Analyst David Strauss believes the booming economy and national security concerns related to immigration will bring Republicans to the polls, even in what is normally a difficult environment for the party of the incumbent president.

“I see the immigrant caravan and the promised middle class tax cut as unifying issues that will drive Republicans to the polls,” Strauss said. “Democrats, as usual, will throw up their arms and stay home.”

Saving their majority in the House has been seen as a long-shot for Republicans, but MyBookie believes that the smart money is on Republicans to maintain control of that chamber.

Oddsmaker: GOP Favored To Retain House, Expand Majority In Senate

Most have the Ds taking a majority in the House so if there is a place to bet where the Ds are the underdogs in the House, this is the perfect place to make easy money.

If you TRULY believe in the Red Wave™ bet the house and clear Vegas out.

I would bet opposite but if you're sure about Rs keeping the House, make easy money dude.
