The Democrats’ Death Wish: The Disappearing Destiny of the Donkey Party
Breitbart.com ^ | 27 November 2015 | Virgil

I. The Democrats’ “Euro Envy”

Let’s state our thesis up front: The Democrats are in so much trouble on the immigration/border security/counter-terrorism issue that only a truly bone-headed move by the Republicans could save the Democrats from electoral debacle in 2016 and beyond. Which, of course, is always possible, even if, thankfully, it is increasingly unlikely.

Perhaps the biggest problem that the Democrats have is Euro Envy. That is, leftist Americans are deeply influenced by the leftist politics of Europe and therefore determined to emulate all its features—whether ordinary Americans like them or not.

Yes, European social democracy, if not communism, has long been the lodestar of American liberalism. For more than a century, American “progressives” have admired the European welfare state in its plenitude: high taxes, national health insurance, and big foreign aid budgets—and, more recently, libs have revered it all the more for its devotion to combating “climate change.”

Long, but mostly accurate. Virgil possibly misses an alternate reason for the Democrats desire for a new wave of beholden, indigent immigrants- Dems are not reproducing in sufficient quantities to replicate themselves and are destined to be overtaken otherwise.

If it weren't for George HW Bush and H Ross Perot, the Democrat party would be nothing but a memory.

Hopefully Trump/Cruz can do the job that Reagan started.

The GOP is dying faster. By only identifying with the rich corporations, they are pushing a great many to the socialists.

I believe the election will be a resounding victory for the GOP in spite of all the efforts by the GOP elites to lose it.

Au contraire mon ami the Establishment end of the GOP is being diminished; actual people are now leading this Conservative Parade out of the Rove, Will, Corporate boardrooms, the Bushes and other RINOS, leading out of the woods are the true Americans who understand less government, loyalty to our friends, a keen knowledge of both our Constitution and the history of our nation, her pros and cons, above all a true love for America with all her warts and her successes. Donald Trump with all his lack of political correctness, and his fearless use of the truth, is causing Marxist America to hemorrhage as these anti-capitalists, anti-Americans, to go kicking and screaming into the twilight.

Politically correct wannabe jar-head Clinton, put her incompetence on display with her apology to illegal aliens for calling them what they are....ILLEGAL ALIENS....What a dumb remark for anyone especially someone running for POTUS. The GOP is alive and winning!

If the Democrats are willing to watch while illegals cross our border, then why won’t the Democrats let these illegals register to vote?

There is a reason Trump wants to deport the illegals and then maybe let them back in. Trump wants to purge the voter registration rolls.

or 10 million new citizen Democrat voters and/or the fact that Soros counts the votes from several of the states and/or the likelihood that the DoJ will not permit any positive ID of any voters and the normal throwing out of the military vote.

I hope that’s the reason. That should be a part of the fine- an additional 10 years before they become naturalized.

I guess there was a reason for them to choose an a$$ for a party symbol.

It is still likely that Bush will be the nominee, no matter how well Trump or anyone else does in the primaries. If so then that is the nearly inevitable boneheaded move. He will lose or, if the Democrat nominee suddenly defects to Iran just before the election and Bush becomes the President, it won’t make any difference a all. The Democrat machine still rules.

Maybe we’ll finally get lucky and see both major parties self-destruct. That would be good for the country.

I think you can count on the 2016 Uniparty to come together. IF it looks like the Congress will be controlled by the GOP, count on Shrillary being installed in the White House and she appointing up to four new SCOTUS Justices during her reign on the RAT throne, and the America that you and I knew will only be a memory in the history books. The CPUSA will have won 5 decades after the Commie plan was written into the Congressional record Communist Goals (1963

The legal aliens, of which there are also millions, are, even as we post, being sworn into citizenship in wholesale lots. Clintondid that before the 1996 election. They get registered to vote immediately. In California and in Chicago illegals already vote legally in local elections and are told to go ahead and vote in the other elections on the same ballot because no one will know anyway.

America as we know it will not, in those circumstances, be in the history books.
Communists and Moslems work hard to erase all history that predates their advents to power. The theory is that if people do not know that there is or was anything else then they will not aspire to anything else.

Bush, or another GOPE candidate, will be the nominee. The GOPe will never allow Trump anywhere near the nomination.

When Karl Rove thinks Mitch McConnel would be a great VP we really don’t have much in common with either party.

Agree. The GOPe would rather elect Hillary.

The article is also delusional. Obama was elected twice. Democrats are bringing in millions of illegals and refugees to brown out the electorate. They are creating the victim mentality among Hispanics while keeping blacks on the plantation with astro turf movements like BLM. Gay marriage is the law of the land. Abortion on demand. ObamaCare.

How exactly are Democrats doing anything but completely dominating the political landscape?

They control the MSM, the universities, a majority of the electorate, and with Scamnesty supported by the Uniparty, they’ll never lose another national election.
