True or false?
False, just like everything else liberals predict or claim. Somehow in their twisted world losing 1,000+ seats across the country, the overwhelming majority of Governors, the US House, US Senate and the presidency means the democrats are winning.

Trump is paving the way for Pence. The Democrats are just underfoot where they will stay for at least the next 2 presidential elections.
It's just a house of cards that will end in a big gust of wind sending it all flying. It will happen so fast when it comes, that his supporters will be gasping in disbelief. Then, they will dive into their own hiding places.

Trump did not win as a Republican, he won as a populist.

If populist Trump succeeds in keeping America mostly white by curtailing Third World immigration (votes for Democrats, cheap labor for Republicans), then the Republican and Democrat parties as presently constituted will die off.

The Democrats will be permanently out of power.

And the Republicans will no longer be Republicans, they'll be populists like Trump.

Winners will be the white working and middle classes.

Losers will be the neo-con/neo-lib globalist elites who are doing everything they can to take down Trump.

You really think Trump won't sell out to the globalist elites? Trump is a billionaire who does business all over the world. He's a member of the globalist elite.

I think RINO Republicans and corporate Democrats are on their way out. The divide is now between populism and elitism.

True or false?

False. On one hand, the GOP bit off more than they could chew with trump. He has no loyalty to them and will throw them under the bus if they don't tow the line. On the other hand, this is a party that was pronounced dead in 2008 and look what happened two years later. They'll be fine.

They both control the major parties and aren't going away.

True. I believe it may go the way of it's own predecessors: the Whigs and the Know Nothings.


The Republican party is no longer the Party of Lincoln. Far from it, not since Mr. Nixon and Mr. Reagan.


It is no longer the party of Reagan since Mr. Trump.


The Republican Party began it's metamorphosis with Nixon's southern strategy. It brought in an enormous number of bigots in those decades and changed the character of the party. It continues to evolve, and continues to purge loyal members and office holders. It 'eats it's young'.


The Republican party is on the wrong side of history. It's stance on climate will be remembered for a long time by people in the USA and the world over as conditions worsen beyond the point of simple correction. This is the legacy of the Koch brothers (among others) influence in the party. It will be very costly and destabilizing.


The working classes which have supported Mr Trump as a hope-filled Messiah will discover that his main concerns are actually the Banking industry, the Petrochemical industry and whomever buys memberships at his exclusives clubs. They will begin to see how naïve they were.


But there may be another conservative party in the future. If one arises it will caucus with the Republicans in congress and they will still have some considerable leverage.

Plain as the nose on their faces yet they just can't see it for some reason.
