I'm hearing this from many people I know who are otherwise dependable repub voters, or at the very least they tend to lean more towards repub candidates. Very small sample size, obviously, but if that's the trend this year (and I believe it is), this is going to be a landslide for Hillary and perhaps all the way down the ballot.

Trump is an unmitigated disaster for establishment repubs. I know many of his supporters don't care about that and indeed many are hoping to send a message that they are tired of establishment repubs. But when you've got a two party system and one party is consolidating whilst the other is imploding, I think you're going to see democratic control of federal politics for the foreseeable future.

I'm sure the pendulum will swing back the other way eventually, but most of the people in here will be dead by then, or being fed with a feeding tube, so it won't matter. I hope you dolts enjoyed those 8 years of Bush and Fox News/Hannity/Rush Limbaugh/Breitbart/Alex Jones/that other guy whose name I can't remember but he was probably the most fucked up one out of all of them, b/c that was your finest hour (which is the greatest indictment of all of ya'll that I can imagine), but it's over. OVAH.

Goodbye, fucknuts. The rest of your measly lives are now to be spent griping and grumbling and bitching b/c things just aren't how you want them to be. In fairness, that's pretty much how you spent those 8 years of your ascendancy as well, but at least you had power then. Now you've got nothing. And it was all your own doing. Congrats on that...

LOL.

There will be record black turnout in November, especially if the GOP nominates Trump or Cruz.

Kasich is a curious case, 8 years ago, he was viewed as a hard right winger. Now, he's at the same place but the GOP has moved so far right that he's now considered a moderate. Kasich, however, pulled 30% of the Black vote in his reelection in Ohio. I don't know how that would translate nationally, but if a GOP candidate could pull 18%-20% of the Black vote, the nature of the election changes greatly.

Of more concern to the GOP should be the Latino vote. If that continues as a 70% Democratic base, by 2024 the Democrats will own the ouse, Senate and 40 State legislatures.
