I don't even think the GOP will have ballot access by 2016.  They're better off forming a coalition with a legitimate party, like the Constitution Party.

Oh yes or perhaps the rent is too damn high party. They're in soooooo much better shape than the Republican Party who controls the House, won't lose the House in the next few elections, and have a decent chance to pick up the Senate next year. Not to mention, they got 47% in the most recent presidential election. I mean we've never seen this before. There's never been a candidate in the 30's to get only 8 electoral votes. We've never had a party lose 49 out of 50 states and ruled them out. Where the Republicans are at now is soooooo much worse than the above named scenarios.

Don't forget Mississippi. It trended Democratic a bit last year so it'll be a Democratic lock by 2016. By 2018 we should just focus on holding the Idaho and Wyoming governorships because all of the other states will have tossed the RepubliKKKans.

By 2036 it will probably will be, assuming current demographic trends and blacks staying over 98% Democratic.

Ah yes and by then something will have happened to stop the trend. Have you ever seen a trend go on forever? Even for over 30 years it's hard to come by. Remember it's been trending since 2008.

No it will go back down. Keep dreaming.

Well unless Democrats start saying that black people aren't people, blacks will vote 85+% for Democrats, and they have since the 60's, ever since the Civil Rights Act. It is certain that the white population will decline and the black population will grow substantially, especially in Mississippi. The changes will make this red state blue. Not now, not next year, hell not even in the next 20 years. But in 2036 or 2040, Democrats can put this state in the lean column.

And you act as if nothing else is going on within the Republican Party in Mississippi? Do you deny the notion that trends don't go on forever?

By 2024, AZ, TX and GA at least will all be solidly Democratic,  making it impossible for a Republican to win the White House.

Posting erotica is against the forum rules OP.

Stupidity should be against the rules too because that's what his comment was to me.

They can't be the no party. But their hostility towards raising minimum wage and payroll tax holiday and compromise on getting the oil industry to pay fair share of taxes doesn't bode good for them. If they don't adopt one of these reformist items in addition to immigration, they won't be on the same playing field.

Doing nothing at all is much better than screwing things up. Obama can't be the president of no when it comes to lowering taxes, ending abortion, and ending Obamacare. See how easy it is to use the "no" card in politics. It's a game politicians use on the uninformed and it works on people like you.
