Republicans should be upbeat. They control by large margins the state legislatures and governorships. The Supreme Court is a bit more conservative than liberal. The House and Senate are both run by Republicans.
President Obama, after veritably wrecking his party, has for some time scarcely polled above 45 percent in approval ratings — even after borrowing $8 trillion to spread the wealth, pandering to spec
ial interests, echoing nonstop the assertions of his iconic status, and blaming all his failures on his predecessors and opponents.
In addition, parties usually do not succeed in winning the presidency for three consecutive terms. Nor do orphaned presidential elections — ones in which the incumbent president or vice president is not running — usually go to the party that currently holds the White House.
In addition, the Democratic presidential field is particularly weak. There are only two serious candidates — and neither is too serious. Bernie Sanders was never a registered Democrat, but was a proud Cold War–era socialist. Hillary Clinton has usually flubbed up on the stump anytime she has run a national campaign. Anywhere there is a Clinton, a scandal looms nearby. There is still some chance Ms. Clinton may have to go for a humiliating Petraeus-style misdemeanor plea-bargain deal for flouting federal law.

Things don’t look all that bad electorally, just very jumbled. Trump is doing well because he’s saying what needs to be said and the American people are responding accordingly.
He may know medicine but anything else...he's absolutely lost.

And the democrats have no problem with that.
Democrat, Shmemocrat. They’re Socialists/Communists!
“The Supreme Court is a bit more conservative than liberal.”
Sure it is.
The Republican establishment’s angst is that they owe their souls to the Cheap Labor Express and must provide that amnesty candidate.
We The People have other ideas.
We’d like to keep the rule of law and our country.
The establishment is upset is because they were taken over by democrats long ago.
They must be dismantled as a power base and run out of office.
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP!
That is an interesting point. He is running as a democrat but is not a democrat.
And the democrats have no problem with that.

So?
JEB is running as a republican.
And the democrats have no problem with that.
As a socialist/communist he is the Platonic ideal of a Democrat.
I stopped reading when I saw that. Obvious cluelessness.
Tooth-Gnashing in the Republican Establishment
The Walmart Republicans are displeased!!
Teeth? What teeth?
