Leftist Democrats never vote for right wing candidates though.

But they DO stay home on election day when confronted with no choice.

I rally believe that what we're seeing here is that the nomination system hasn't caught up to the changing demographics of the country. It makes sense why this would happen.

This election may be the breaking point where both parties finally realize (esp. the Republicans) that demographically, the country is fundamentally changing.

After Obama won the presidency in 2008, I said that the repubs wouldn't win another election for at least 20 years. I'm still sticking with that.

What the repubs do not understand or want to admit is that their entire base is dying. Literally. Their base is made up of an electorate which will not exist in any recognizable form in 20 years.
Using the above racialist nonsense, can you explain the Senate, House, majority of governorships, majority of state legislatures, and the majority of elected judgeships nationwide currently being held by Republicans?

Can you explain why America needs to be made great again with all those Republicans in power? Oh that's right, Obama. The few things the obstructionist GOPers allowed through have ruined everything.

I don't think there's any stopping President Trump now. Say hello to a 4 year reality show lol

Unfortunately for her Hillary can't win, her taking of classified materials to her home is going to destroy her in the general election. If you think she's felt the heat so far, you haven't seen anything yet. Trump will maul her, his supporters will go out of their way to vote and a lot of hers will just stay home. Don't forget that bitter self-entitled millenials will also stay home after their freeloader Bernie Sanders gets done in by a rigged democratic primary where unelected super delegates make sure he doesn't win

Easy! Because Trump hasn't officially taken the helm of the party.

Either way, the question stands: if racist white Republican demographics are nearly dead, why do they control most of our political system nation-wide?

Over analyzing a simple matter does not always highlight the intelligence you wanted to be hilighted...

An alliance of the super wealthy with the apathetic, undereducated, frightened, paranoid, greedy and selfish portion of the electorate that was taken in by trickle down economics.

The apathetic don't care, the undereducated watch FOX "News", the frightened are taken in by GOPer rhetoric of keeping them safe while stirring up hornets nests, the paranoid by GOPer rhetoric of Obama Derangement Syndrome, the greedy by GOPer rhetoric of "free enterprise", and the selfish by their logic of when they win the lottery. they don't want to have to pay a lot of taxes.

Their base votes against their own best interests without even knowing it.
