Schultz is nuts, but both sides play this game. I remember just after 2004, with Bush's re-election and a GOP House and Senate AND control of most statehouses doing redistricting that people on our side were insisting that Rove had "put the Republicans in power for 20 years." Likewise, after 2008, it was all over---there was never going to be another free election, ever. (We heard the same thing in 1996---that Clinton would NEVER leave office).

As badly damaged as it is, our system has survived Zero, and even if they do everything right, a GOP House, Senate, and President (particularly a lib like Mitt) will quickly alienate a significant swath of voters.

I'm sure fieldmarshaldj can jump in with the stats, but even when Republicans dominated from 1865-1912, large parts of the midwest swung back and forth, and elections were close.

Why is Sgt. Schultz so worried ? He should be happy with a Socialist like Willard. After him, there may never be a Republican President again.
