The GOP has about as much to do with seriousness as Barney Fife has to do with law enforcement. I think I've set an appropriate tone for a discussion about the future of the GOP in the first post. The party is pretty much a farce at this point, with its' whacky hats and infotainers and all.
If they are that irrelevant, please ignore them rather than bore us with what you obviously mistake as cute and entertaining.
It's obvious you're frightened. Otherwise, they wouldn't be weighing heavy on your mind.
The real conservatives left the GOP a generation ago. What you've got left are a bunch of Neo-cons. My belief this started when Bush the first announced on TV "we have a new world order" in which his butt was promptly dispatched.
That is about right I left the party when Bush Sr was in office.
There is nothing that the GOP can do at this point. IMO they should just sit back and let the Titanic sink on this one and keep a detailed ledger over failed liberal policies over the next two decades.
Like it or not, the next election has already been wrapped up; Hillary has already been crowned. Next up will be Michelle Obama after her...
The Republicans will simply have to sit back and enjoy the ride on this one...they still have another 20 years (Obama's 4 + Hillary's 8+ Michelle Obama's 8) before they can get back in the driver's seat.
I'm not a Gingrich fan but he is absolutely correct on this one...
There is no way a GOP candidate can win a Presidential election against Hillary with a dynasty of support by Bill Clinton and the legendary rock star appeal of Barack Obama.
That would be the equivilent of an artist selling more albums than the Beatles, Michael Jackson and Justin Bieber combined....it's not going to happen.
I will add also that not only is the work cheap but the people are very compliant and do as they are told....otherwise the GOP will sic their business partners, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) on the masses.
Boy oh boy!
"Bill Clinton, the country's most ardent booster of opening trade with China, looks especially imprudent 10 years later. During a press conference on March 29, 2000, Clinton said that granting China permanent normal trade relations (PNTR), which allowed China to gain entry into the WTO, would be a great deal for America. "We do nothing," Clinton said. "They have to lower tariffs. They open up telecommunications for investment. They allow us to sell cars made in America in China at much lower tariffs. They allow us to put our own distributorships there. They allow us to put our own parts there. We don't have to transfer technology or do joint manufacturing in China any more. This a hundred-to-nothing deal for America when it comes to the economic consequences."
Now that the GOP has proven itself to be non viable option for serious voters in real elections, it is free to let its freak flag fly and engage in nutty schemes and political fantasies. What brand of ridiculousness do you think it will come up with next?
The GOP will go into super-nova mode like a dying star. They will make some symbolic gestures to Latinos and Blacks but they are also going to "double down" on being anti-gay marriage, anti-abortion, and not raising taxes. They will continue to galvanize their base around those issues even as their base gets smaller and smaller.
change the face of the GOP and your fortunes will change.
meaning get rid of old whitey.
Nonsense
The Democrats are not interested in losing their base...why in the world would they be interested in sending the the poor, the illegal, the unemployed, the desolate, the uneducated and the forgetten over to the GOP? That would result in less votes for Democrats; and we all know that they aren't giving that vote up.
