If C-D would make a mandatory minimum age and a competency test for all posters, we wouldn't have to read such total garbage.
Heh, what age do Trump supporters want POC to be limited to? 60+? 70+? I get it, Trump supporters tend to be older but the younger voters are the ones still working and paying 2/3rds of senior Medicare costs. Perhaps we should look forward to Paul Ryan voucherizing Medicare before the party switches again.
I doubt either party will be permanently in power but by all means, Republicans seem to think they will be permanently in control forever the same way Democrats thought in 2008. I've learned neither is true.
That Republicans "won the battle but lost the war"
That Democrats are favored in the future
True or false?
Yes,Trump even admits he is not a republican .It's not his political party it's his total stupidity of the world around him ,...he is ignorant as a president.
It's a plausible argument, but it all depends how the Democratic Party as a whole responds to the movement which is happening on the left. If they embrace the progressive populist movement by going the way they should have last year (with Sanders, and now with Ellison, et al) rather than kowtowing to the entrenched neoliberal wing who has dominated since the Clinton presidency, Republicans will still win elections with disenfranchised working class (mostly white) voters.
No, the GOP isn't in danger of dying in the long-term. (The same is true for the Democrats.) Keep in mind that the same people making these kind of predictions also believed that demographics and the blue wall would cause Clinton to win easily.
Politics is always cyclical, so the GOP will rebound even if Trump fails (due to scandal or his inability to fulfill his campaign promises). If Trump goes down, Republicans would most likely nominate a prominent NeverTrumper (such as Ben Sasse) as its presidential candidate. The only groups who might permanently be shut out of power would be Trump's most gung-ho supporters, such as those at Breitbart and in talk radio.

Hard to say....
Democrats still have a lot of reasons to be optimistic. As much gnashing of teeth that they've done about the electoral college over the last few months, it still gives them a huge edge in presidential elections in a normal year. The changing Demographics of the country is still hugely advantageous for them in the long term.
Much as I'd love to say Democrats days are numbered, I can't make that prediction with any conviction..
That said, it's kinda hard to say that a political party that's gained over 1000 seats in 8 years and pretty much has total control in every branch of government is "dead"....

False. The last election was a "Not Hillary" more than a "For Trump" vote. If the Democrats keep on putting up Hillary's, then a repeat of what happened in the last election will happen again in future elections.

I think you are relying too heavily on the last election polling that pretty much everyone got wrong including Trump himself. The republicans were in dire straits but the democrats ran the one candidate that could lose to Trump, constantly using mistakes from one election as if that will be the case in the future, good luck.
One thing I give Trump credit for is spurring democrats to take action. It will be interesting to see how the GOP representatives react to his programs after their visit back home this week. The congressmen won't be running against Obama's programs in 2018 & 2020, they will be running on Trumps accomplishments and their support or non-support of his actions.

Could care less about a party's name or philosophy.
Todays dems are in outter space while the repubs are living in some fantasy land where they hold concepts dear to them as a reference point but never ever deliver.
Repubs have been dumber than rocks, Mitt the poster boy. Repubs declare an answer to an issue and they may be correct, however, they are missing the ability to communicate the answer, which is as good as no answer at all.
Neither party is where we want to be. The hijacked Dem party, however, along with their media propaganda machine will bring us as close to a banana republic as we've ever been.
Care about setting things right and Trump is our best bet.
by the way there is no democrat party as we know it. the name has been coopted by socialists, much like iranian terrorists have coopted the Palestinian people.
