Every once in a while you stumble into a news cycle and think, “This cannot be a coincidence.”
As news reports bring word that Hillary Clinton is still refusing to answer questions from the press, Ramadi falls to ISIS, and things just aren’t going well for the Democrats right now, fear not. The press steps in with its usual “The GOP is doomed” headlines.
We begin on May 16th with the Washington Post. The GOP has such a big field of candidates, party leaders are “anxious about their chances in ’16.” That’s the actual title. It seems having such a deep field is a bad thing, unlike last time when having such a shallow field was a bad thing.
If only the GOP would coronate one candidate, just like the Democrats.
Keeping up the theme, the New York Times on the same day, claimed the GOP was baiting the left to turn on Hillary. The Democrats, you see, are so united for Hillary that the GOP is forced to spend money to try to drum up a primary for Hillary Clinton.
Slate rushed in with some back patting for the Democrats. Turns out ISIS’s leader is just like a Republican candidate for President. Fear not Democrats, they’re all just an easily beaten fringe.
The Atlantic chimed in yesterday that if you watch Fox News, you are stupid, dumb, and incapable of grasping reality. Fear not Democrats, the Republicans are so deluded that there is no way they can win.
And today the Politico gets in on the game. Yes, “the GOP is dying off. Literally.” That’s their headline.
The GOP will not pick up millennials, it is the party of old people, and it is just so outdated.
So fear not Democrats. The media has you covered. The GOP will never win again because it is closed minded, only watches Fox, is fringey like ISIS, is dying off, has too many candidates for President, and is only pretending to give Hillary a hard time.
Hey, perhaps the corollary here is that the press has convinced the Democrats they have nothing to fear and the coronation of an old corrupt lady from New York for President who won’t answer questions is brilliant strategy.
No, it just has to be a coincidence that on the same weekend five major media outlets run the same basic talking points against the GOP.
So pessimistic. What a dolt!
What’s your point? Pat Buchanan was talking about Cultural Marxism before it was well known. He was right on that.
That's actually true.
Every year, millennials become less and less white.
However, white millennials continue to vote for the GOP.
2012 - White Males 18-29 - Romney 55% - Obama 41%
2012 - White Females 18-29 - Romney 49% - Obama 48%
Well, Western Sodomist Socialist Civilization does feel like it’s in thin air on top of a Ponzi Mount Everest made of fantasy pickup sticks.
They are doomed, not because of the democrats.
Because of themselves. The rino/gop-e leadership are happy how things are going, via obama and power grabbing, tpp treaty, etc, all they care is that they get a turn at running things with all the dictator powers.
They can ALL f@ck each other. They are al in it together, we have none that wil actually reverse anything. They are all modern Caligulas.
That is right. Nothing will change for the better as long as conservatives vote as if the Going On Progressive party is necessary.
Of course the GOP is necessary. Without the GOP we wouldn’t have had Reagan. If Cruz wins the presidency, it will have been made possible by the GOP.
You people watch too many cartoons.
The MSM had a “documentary” on the dying Republican Party which spotlighted a Texas politician talking about bull semen and his ranch, Ha-Ha. The politician was John Connally and this was 1975, or 40 years ago. Five years after this smug “documentary”, Ronald Reagan won 44 states and 484 electoral votes over the hapless, antisemitic flop Jimmy Carter.
So, we find that freedom and liberty are “OUTDATED” huh?
They may be right in that statement since the new generation has been brainwashed by the state and our public schools and higher education to believe that individual responsibility for one’s actions are “outdated.”
The upcoming elections in 2016 will either turn this country back to the great nation it was or it will be the date in history that America became a Socialist cesspool.
Funny how the 2014 Mid-Terms said otherwise...
Reagan actually won 489 EVs in 1980, but who’s counting? : )
“If Cruz wins the presidency, it will have been made possible by the GOP.”
That is an absolute irresponsible statement! THE LAST THING THE GOP WANTS TO SEE IS CRUZ WINNING! Republic voters want it but the GOP establishment fears him more than having leprosy.
The “good ole boys” in the GOP don’t like “boat rockers” and “independent thinkers.” After all, it’s the “go along to get along” party and everyone at the top level makes plenty of money by doing so....via the back door and deals in the parking lot if you know what I mean.
Cruz, Walker and Carson are the only candidates that can save us from the last attempt this nation will ever have at preserving our liberties and freedoms and the reintroduction of INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY into our society.
I’m talking about the GOP that gave us McCain and Romney.
What makes you think they will run the best candidate instead of the one chosen for the show?
The Soros propaganda machine will chew up Cruz and spit him out (like they did with Palin) if he is going to bring about any real change and upset the status quo.
People who think we need the GOP should watch Charlie Brown cartoons. He gets fooled every time by Lucy picking up the football when he goes to kick it. Even if the GOP runs the “right” candidate, one more election will not fix this country’s problems.
Well, there’s the meme the media is creating, and then there’s reality, which is occurring around water coolers at work, and evenings out with friends.
Liberals are on the run, as I see it. I have liberal friends who just don’t want to talk politics anymore, and when they do, they concede the party has suffered under Obama, and Hillary just seems to be a bad candidate. There is no argument on either topic, or at least they seem to be tired of attempting to come up with one.
I think the story of the 2016 election will be a lack of turnout for Democrats. They’re just not enthused about where the party seems to be headed.
Look, folks......the Democrat Party is in a state of panic across the board!!! With Obama & Clinton......the smart, objective, pragmatic Democrats know they are politically doomed!!!! Their state of panic is going to get much worse. They could care less about Obama & Clinton.......what they care about is their own political skins, fearing that Obama & Clinton will devastate th entire Democrat Party, politically , come 2016!!! The Democrat “media” machine has got its function, but, no longer has the reach, the effectivenss and creditability it once had!!! End of story!!!
“...Obama & Clinton will devastate the entire Democrat Party...”
The psychotic junior-high-schoolers in the population will never desert the Democrats. They will vote Democrat until the end of time and the media will feed them the propaganda that makes them feel legitimate. (fourty plus per-cent and growing.)
