Holy shit!

The realignment is being forced on the GOP. 35 and under don't resemble the older gens on some social issues.

Okay, okay. What if Trump wins? Is there a realignment then?

It'd depend on how he won. Does he take the rust belt? I think you'd see a lot more Republican politicians emulating him in that scenario, enough to change the party.

Hmm, we'll see. Trump is hated by a lot of Republicans for being completely unlikable, but if Jeff Sessions could put on a show of being a nice person for 9 months (like Kasich does), then he would dominate 2020.

Trump's nationalism and racism is what attracts people and you could do that without being as fucking weird and petty as he is and while being actually pro-labor.

Basically, people that want to run in 2020 for the GOP should be studying Nixon for the next few years.

Yeah, I just don't know if they have any Presidential candidate willing and capable of toeing that line.

the hysteria coming from the right against trump is something else

I love paragraphs like this

I will never vote for Donald Trump because he’s a pro-gun control, pro-single-payer health care, pro-eminent domain, pro-abortion, and pro-statism liberal who will immediately revert to form when he’s finished selling his fauxservatism to people he patently views as rubes. I will never vote for Donald Trump, because absolutely nothing he can say or do will cover the fact he is obviously and blatantly lying every time his thin lips move and his freakishly tiny hands pound the podium.

Its not the racism and fascism, its that he won't let people die on the streets and won't ban women from controlling their body

You're telling me the poor people that have been voting for Republicans for the past 50 years have finally realized that tax cuts on rich people isn't making their lives any better?

Ted Cruz criticizing Trump for saying "I won't let [white] people die on the streets" (which is how everyone heard it due to Trump's racism) is the worst political attack of this cycle. Cruz coming out as pro white people dying on the streets as he's about to enter the pro-welfare south is one of the dumbest political things I could think of.

I think it's more that they've realized over the last eight years that the GOP establishment is incapable of stopping the usurper in the White House. :p

Cruz was in disbelief that Trump wasn't checking off that box he deems essentially to being a Republican. It's pretty interesting how every attack from the right on Trump has been a dismal failure.

Just an anecdotal observation but all the Republican relatives/acquaintances I know have said they will never vote for Trump. They wouldn't vote for Hillary if there was a third party option though.

And Rubio yelling from the other side, "you know this is a Republican debate!" while that "die on the streets" exchange was going on was even more telling. Sad.

The latter but I was too damn lazy to put the ! since I'm on mobile.

Panic! is life. They're definitely not oldies. I'm fixing to get my first tattoo inspired by lyrics from the song Northern Downpour.

Embrace it. Getting old rocks.

I'm sipping a nightcap and watching the Chris Evert episode of SNL from '89 - the episode after the wall came down in Berlin. It's also the first appearance of Lyle, the Effeminate Heterosexual!

(semi-offensive, pretty hilarious)

Tomorrow is going to be fun. This year is going to be fun. Hell, with everything going-on within the GOP, I'm starting to feel greedy. I want the House back, if only for two years.

Now that's the spirit. Dems should be fighting as hard as they can't to blunt ANY claims the GOP is going to try and make to deny a Dem president their legitimacy. That means:
1. Decisive EC and PV victory for the presidential election.
2. Retake the Senate
3. Eat into the GOP gains in the house

We need to fight until November 4th.

Have we talked about just how boned Cruz is?

Looking at the 538 models, Cruz is behind Rubio is almost all of the SEC States that his entire campaign is depending on. He is only ahead in TX. I never would have imagined Rubio running ahead of Cruz in Alabama and Georgia. WTF.

Nobody in the south cares about libertarian ideas. Cruz had delusions about the Dixiecrats being more conservative than they accurately are.

That cartoon is great. I'm not even that excited for tomorrow. It's a foregone conclusion Hillary wins. They will call it the second polls close.

Rush Limbaugh has been pushing so hard for Trump the last six months, he barely mentioned another candidate until Trump brought up how great Planned Parenthood is and George Bush didn't keep us safe during 9/11 in the debate before last.

Cruz crashed when he couldn't follow through after Iowa. He'll claim victory in Texas and that's it.

It'll upset some markets on PredictIt.

I've got some Hillary in Maine shares I bought at basement prices. It's only a $30 risk since I don't actually expect her to win the state, but a blowout in South Carolina will probably send the price climbing by at least 5-10%. I'll probably unload them then.
