On Friday night's edition of HBO's Real Time, host Bill Maher expressed his concern of a permanent Republican majority. Maher noted that Trump has the power of incumbency, has Republican state legislatures behind him, has the ability to nominate at least two Supreme Court Justices, and the backing of FOX News, Breitbart, and Drudge. He also warned that Trump "hasn't even played his war card yet," and "could start a war and get a lot of support" from that.

In 1997 the Democrats looked solid.
Bob Dole was token opposition easily defeated in 1996.
Bill Clinton was enacting Republican economics.
Then in early 1998, we heard the name Monica Lewinski and the bottom dropped out for the Democrats.
Still it was a uniparty from 1989 to 2016.
They will ALWAYS tell you what they REALLY fear.
And it’s MEDIA CONTROL.
That has been the secret of their power for 100 years.
It’s what they really, REALLY fear losing.
And the takers are US.
President Trump was elected primarily on the strength of his proposed domestic agenda.
It is the democrat and republican globalists interested in starting the next shooting war, not President Trump.
The last thing democrats want is for President Trump to have a successful domestic agenda or a successful foreign agenda.
They want him to fail across the board even if it hurts America.
Who said he wold like to find ways to work with Russia, China, etc?
And who keeps trying to create animosity and distrust between the USA and Russia?
4% growth will do the party good. One ingredient is to do away with the illegal immigrant ‘takers’ in our jails and on our welfare rolls. There is a place for those that staff(90+%) the fast food joints-it grows the economy. Cut down on military bases at home and overseas. That INCLUDES Korea/Germany.
As for the slackers in this country we need to find a way to eliminate ALL welfare programs. One is a UBI proposed by Charles Murray. Like Ronald Reagan’s ‘build down’ nuclear strategy a Universal Basic Income should be just BARELY NOT enough to get by. Combine it wit someone else’s and you get a decent start. $10k/yr for EVERYBODY over age 21. Throw in $3k for heahth/retirement investments. ALL income transfers can then be put on the chopping block. Printing checks is easy and will allow for the layoffs of gov’t welfare workers. Too easy.
Obama 'denial of flaws' by the press meant Republicans could take over State Houses and the press wouldn't report on it - the MSM feared 'flaws' would make 'the One' look bad. It worked to our advantage too. Bill Maher senses that 'win'.
Now, Journalists' thin-skinned hatred of President Trump is assisting their downfall - similar to their fawning butt kissing of President Obama. (There's reason 'old school' journalist standards worked: survival.)
The New York Times, Washington Post, AP, CNN and MSM destroyed their own credibility...
So...
Bill Maher is right. It's WHY “FOX News, Breitbart, and Drudge” have all the power they need to insure future Trump wins.
Good. Keep him frightened.
Same thing could happen to R's if they get too cocky.
You can bet your donkey that the left is scared. Over 100 years of plotting, bribery, cheating and outright election theft are about to blow up in their faces.
Whose total circulation isn't as good as that which is going through my 80+ year old arteries.
Carville saw the Democrat dynasty just right. What he failed to see was that they'd all move to a handful of big cities where they'd win elections by massive landslides while losing the rest of the country.
Winning 80% of the vote in big cities doesn't mean squat when you lose everywhere else.
Whose=Who’s
gibsonguy, huh? 57 Classics or P90s?
I'd like to see republicans support every piece of legislation that helps that process along.
Obama implemented policies that planted immigrant groups in red and purple states as seed communities to water down the republican majorities.
Republicans should do just the opposite by supporting policies that concentrate the democrat voting blocs on the existing democrat plantations in blue states.
All the “Drudge Report” does is point links to other websites. There’s no “report”, per se, from Drudge. It’s just a directory to many other sites of news, and opinion, available for the clicking.
The bottom line is, Maher - and other libs - want ALL the sites and outlets to be on the left.
They’d probably still lose, after 2016
My crystal ball says the democrats are toast. The Republicans will pick up several Senate seats, a few House seats and either gain or lose on Governorship. The latter depends somewhat on the voter fraud commission and how well they do.
For 8 years they rubbed it in our faces. Now, only months(!) into a Republican Presidency, they are reduced to unhinged, whining nutcases. I love it.
Even Bill Maher knows Democrats are a bunch of assholes
Ironically, had Carter handled the Iranian hostage crisis more aggresively and competently, Reagan would have had a much tougher run in '80.
There should be a permanent Democrat majority in the one place they are qualified to serve—Leavenworth.
