I'll certainly be dead long before then. This is supposed to be comical, but in reality it could be very true.

Republican Party Could Recover as Early as 2096, Experts Say

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In what is being described as a best-case scenario, some political experts are predicting that the Republicans could once again be a viable political party as early as the year 2096.

Davis Logsdon, the head of the University of Minnesota’s political-science department, said on Saturday that the eighty-year time frame for the Republican Party to recover was “admittedly optimistic, but still doable.”

“It’s not going to be easy, and they have very little margin for error,” Logsdon said. “But if they do everything right and a lot of things cut their way, they could be up and running as a somewhat serviceable political party as early as 2096.”

According to the political strategist Tracy Klugian, however, Logsdon’s 2096 target date for the Republicans’ comeback is “laughably upbeat.”

“In order for the G.O.P. to become even a marginally functional political party again, all memory of the 2016 campaign will have to be obliterated,” Klugian said. “That means everyone who witnessed it will have to be dead, and probably those people’s children, and their children’s children, too. I wouldn’t bet on the Republican Party recovering any earlier than the year 2132.”

When asked about Klugian’s assessment, Logsdon said, “Yeah, 2132 is probably more like it.”

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ya ... and my point is it could very well become a reality.  I'll change the title to satire if it'll make you feel any better.  ^-^

Perhaps

But I heard how the GOP would never win a national election for a long time after Watergate
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Millions will be granted amnesty, millions of Muslim refugees along with an open border wish for the entire Western Hemisphere ... exactly how many DEMS do you think there will be vs. GOP??  This has been the primary reason behind DEMS wanting to grant amnesty; it sure hasn't been for humanitarian reasons.  LBJ's Great Society was the catalyst that ensured a continued stream of DEM voters. However that never resulted in completely eliminating the GOP.  Amnesty and refugees will seal their coffin.  Recovery?  Non existent because of the sheer numbers and non existent because the Supreme Court will be tilted far to the left.

That is why I have stated several times, that without the majority in the Senate we lose our country.  It is the Senate that confirms the justice appointments and it is the Senate that has the final vote on the slight chance of an impeachment.
