The GOP electorate is fast becoming ever more itsy bitsy and teeny weeny and as someone just said...when people do not like your ideas, you just stop having any ideas. The GOP is out of ideas other than attempting to manipulate elections. Good riddance!
I'm thinking that the GOP isn't going to have to manipulate a cotton-picking thing in the mid-terms, given what a colossal flop Obamacare has been, along with the continued series of goofs and scandals that keep rolling out of this administration. Not just the sheer incompetence of Obamacare's implementation, but the outright bill of goods that it's turning out to be. I don't think we've even begun to uncover the sheer magnitude of this disaster. That means the Democratic Party is going to have a historic rout next November. We're talking pitchforks and torches. We're talking blood in the gutters.
I'm not a Republican. I voted for Bill Clinton in 92 and would have voted for Hillary Clinton in 08. So I am astonished that any administration could have made W's look like the very soul of competence. This one is terrible beyond any human belief, a bunch of policy wonks who evidently have no idea how to get anything done.

"Through gerrymandering, voter suppression and legislative tricks, the GOP has managed to hold on to power while more and more Americans reject their candidates and their ideas"
Liberals have such short memories.
The DEMS held uninterrupted control of the House for 40 years. That would be through 4 censuses.
Do anyone think THEY might have gerrymandered a district or 2 in those 40 years?
Of course not, according to our OP. The dems held control for 40 years and NEVER gerrymandered ANY districts because they are as pure as the driven snow.

You do realize that only the negative is getting the press coverage...right? Your going by what gets the most attention in the media as itmakes for sensationalism. Maybe you should expand your sources of information.

Nice wishful thinking. But tell me, how did the 2010 election go? What are Obama's favorability numbers?

A helluva lot better than Congress's. The 2010 election is a moot point right about now considering the Tea Party popularity numbers. The OP is factual based on the changing demographics. The only thing the right wing can do is steal elections. Their voter base is ever shrinking. It's only a matter of time for these dinosaurs

Speaking of reading, your reading comprehension needs work, given that I stated pretty clearly that I am not a Republican. Actually, I read from all perspectives. I read the NYT and the WSJ, the Atlantic and the National Review, not just publications that validate my political views. I'm guessing that both my reading and experience are broader than yours.
Quite frankly, I'm not quite sure what there is about the ACA that's positive. You would really have to be the most naive person in the history of the universe to not realize that this was a catastrophic failure on the part of the administration, or just merely sucking at the teat of the administration's press office. Obama made this entire initiative the centerpiece of his presidency. It sucked up all the energy in DC at a time when the economy should have taken center stage.
And now, three years after its passage and with huge amounts of political investments on the part of the administration and the Democratic Party, the ACA is a flop, a gigantic turd that doesn't come even remotely close to the agitprop of the Obama administration. Unless you are just a party shill paid to come onto this message board to perform spin control, surely you can understand how dismal the actual program is and how big the gulf is between reality and what was promised to the American public.
Now here is where you would do the predictable thing and say, "Well, the Republicans...." or "Well, Bush..." Well, the American people are a good deal too smart to fall for that kind of knee-jerk palaver. After all the Obama administration wrote the legislation and had the votes in Congress to get it passed. The Obama administration has had three years to put together the marketplace and get the website working. It was almost a total failure, save for the 100,000 lucky people who managed to get through what is the equivalent of land mines and razor wire to sign up. The other few million unlucky people either had their insurance cancelled or jacked through the roof. Kind of hard to defend the indefensible. But I'm pretty sure you're going to try.

Sigh- another idiotic "your party is terrible" post.
As if there are not a million reasons out there demonstrating how the Democrats are corrupt, power hungry, deceitful, plutocrats.
You dems have very short memories, or selective...
Lets see, in 2010, not only did the GOP take over the house, they also took well over 650 seats (that went from dems to repubs) across the United States.....
But the panicked strategic analysis, and the sense of urgency it gives rise to, is actually quite sound. The modern GOP—the party of Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes—is staring down its own demographic extinction. Right-wing warnings of impending tyranny express, in hyperbolic form, well-grounded dread: that conservative America will soon come to be dominated, in a semi-permanent fashion, by an ascendant Democratic coalition hostile to its outlook and interests.
