What gibberish are you typing? Turnout was UP in the 2016 presidential election vs where it was in 2012 (55.3% vs. 54.9%). Yes, it was down from 2008 when Obama won, but it was also down from 2004 when Bush won. Leftists don't rule Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, Florida, or North Carolina. The road to the White House will go through those states. Not through NY or CA.

Maybe when Republicans become less close minded, less statist, less hypocritical christians, and less racist.

I don't see that happening any time soon...so republican rhetoric and party is just garbage.

The Cons are toast. And they have their own stupidity to blame.
Wow, I like how most of your posts come from your own twisted wishful thinking.

Try again. Trump did better with traditionally white working class Democrats than Romney ever could have. What kept Trump back from an even bigger victory in Wisconsin was that there were enough Republicans who backed Romney who just didn't vote. With the Democrats' continued racism and ugliness, don't expect those voters to stay away from the GOP in 2020.

If you folks are so good at prognostications, why aren't you millionaires in Vegas instead of working for wages at some local factory?

None of you knows the future of ANY political party. Just follow the news and zip it. Geez.

The reason Trump won by the electoral college but not the popular vote was explained (predicted, I should say) by David Daley, the author of the book "Rat***ed

"It withstands 1.2 million more votes for Democrats in 2012, it will probably withstand even more votes for Democrats in 2016. If you piece redistricting together with voter ID laws, with limitations on early voting and all the legislation Republicans are trying to push through in state capitols, you can see a strategy emerge: 'This is how we govern from the minority when we cannot win an actual majority of the vote' " David Daley, Sept. 10 2016

Because this is an internet chat room. And it fun entertainment. If you haven't figured that out yet....well.

Also how many folk Followed the news and though 2016 and thought Hillary was a lock? How many news outlets lead us down the wrong path with polls?

Little lefties still butthurt someone get them some lotion. They think because the lamestream media gives their puny hipster protests a little bit of coverage they think they have some sort of movement started or something lol. Most of the country isn't behind them and plenty of people agree with Trump on Mexico and the ban on the 7 countries.

90 percent of the country doesn't give a crap about Muslims or people from Muslim countries they don't assimilate well or integrate that well into U.S. society. Sorry that's the truth. The economy will always be the main thing because all people really care about is money.

Trump will be just like Clinton he might be a sleazy guy but no one cares since they will be banking due to a good economy.

Except that Trump won more US coast line than Clinton by far.

Small business was being killed by the Democrats war on the middle class. This is why they lost. Now if you include yourself as part of the "elite" I can see why you might still support a Democrat for president.
