If the GOP would stop alienating minorities, LGBT, and young people, this might be possible, but any of the GOP candidates running today won't carry much outside of the South. The electoral map will likely look like McCain vs Obama in 2008.
The guy who foisted supply side economics on the country! ROTFLMAO! I would say he should stick with what he knows but apparently he doesn't know economics very well.

That's my prediction as well. I am a conservative and my party has gone so far down the drain pandering to ignorance, bigotry, nativism, and conspiracy theories that it is unlikely we will win the White House anytime soon. We will not win the White House unless we get a good 40-45% of the Hispanic vote (you know, like George W Bush did in 2004) and there's no way Trump or Cruz could pull that off. Rubio probably could though, sadly we would rather be the party of rural White resentment instead of building a winning coalition for a 21st Century America that is no longer 90% White and where 2/3 of voters have nothing beyond a high school diploma. Angry old White people with a high school diploma no longer represent what our nation looks like.
Ted Cruz could do it, too, if he were the last one standing in the Republican primary. Look, Reagan pulled it off with at least that many. Don't at all be surprised to see even blue states vote 50 to 60 percent Republican in November. New York? Maybe. Cali? Not so sure.
Arthur Laffer predicts? He predicted we would all be flying high with supply-side and tax cuts for the wealthy. Didn't George Bush try that? That worked out well.
This is why there are all those 'angry GOP voters' to begin with. They listened to these ridiculous predictions and then lose.

Unlikely. People won't be voting for the GOP...they'll be voting for Trump.

I don't think so.
In the last 4 years. Democrats have lost everything except the Presidency. More than 1000 DNC politicians have been sent home. This will be repeated in in 2016 when they lose that too.

We've heard your ridiculous schtick enough. Did you change your handle from borrego_kid?

I look forward to seeing what you have to say on when we wake up on November 9th 2016 to President-Elect ****lery Rotten Clinton and incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuckles Schumer.
The nation has changed, we have got to adapt and change our tune to meet this reality. We need to stop being the rock in a river hopelessly standing against the ever oncoming current. We need to be the current, the force of true change. We need to take our conservative message of limited government, individual liberty, and free market principles to bring about real change. We cannot be angry, vindictive, bigoted, and ignorant. We cannot go around telling people how much we hate their culture, how much we want to deport their grandmother, how they are welfare leeches, how they are lazy, how their religion is un-American, how they are un-American, etc.
People like Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and the late Jack Kemp are the future of the Republican Party in the 21st Century United States.
