[[ Republicans are up against it everywhere you turn in a national election. The left's built in social and demographic advantages in a national election are immense. If you put Republicans up with the personality and fervor of a Bush, McConnell, Kasich or Romney...if you put up an insider, someone in the Washington game...you will get beaten every single time. There is no reason whatsoever for masses of voters to get energized to take out the Washington establishment by one of its own, the same old same old. ]]An important line from the original article above:
"Finally, consider this: In the last six presidential elections, 18 states have voted for the Democratic candidate every time, totaling 242 electoral votes — just 28 short of victory. That means Democrats are about 90 percent of the way to winning the White House even before the actual voting begins."

Won't be nothing,

...I've seen the future, baby, it is murder.Trump or no, I sense that time is slowly runnin' out for Republicans in general, but even moreso for folks who consider themselves "traditional Americans" and who steadfastly embrace "the old ways".
We are becoming outnumbered, literally, by others who are "not like us" and (because of racial/ethnic demographics) who are NEVER going to become like us or embrace the values and principles that kept this country going for two-and-a-quarter centuries.
There's just too much water over that dam now.
There are too many "aliens" who've breached the gates.
It would be easy if we could point fingers and place the blame. You're probably thinking
"it's the left that did this to us!".Nope. We did it to ourselves.
By -tolerating- the left for too long, by permitting them to become too powerful.
By standing by while our own government turned against us.
By permitting the robed members of the courts to elevate themselves to become rulers, when in truth their role is to issue "opinions", and not "laws".
And... by tolerating the malfeasance of our own elected representatives (of our own party) who despite their positions of power will do nothing to halt the collapse.
I wish I had more to write about whether Trump is going to "make the difference" or not, but...
I've seen the future, and it's murder.
