    Hillary can't win without the youth, independents, and the left, and those are the exact three groups she is turning away.
    You mean the same groups that will NEVER vote GOP especially with the clowns they are running? Oh, I see.

    You see...what, exactly?

    It looks like President Trump is going to lose in 2016.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    I just want to point out that I 100% predicted what would happen in February 2016.

Rubio, Cruz, and especially Jeb! would have had a tough time winning any Obama states other than Florida. The Colorado Senate race that year showed that the GOP's planned Rubio strategy wouldn't have worked.

    I amazed at the fools who go in for fortune telling. I'm even more amazed at the total idiots like Hillary Clinton who believe the fortune tellers. That said, I don't think running a senile white guy with a horrible record is a brilliant move for the Democrats but I suppose with the bogus Russia Collusion nonsense and the bogus Impeachment nonsense and the total inability to get anything done but economic disaster, lockdowns, and riots the Democrats are exactly hopeful.

    The Republican Party is definitely a circular firing squad. Of COURSE they are going to lose in 2024, AFTER Trump has his second term in office. The GOP has a habit of putting up RINOS after eight years of a successful (I started to say conservative, but GW was more a liberal than anything else) presidency.

    Reagan was the greatest president in history and the party followed him up with a guy who RAISED TAXES and saddled us with eight years of a RAPIST.

    And people ACTUALLY thought Mitt Romney (the man who signed into law the precursor to OBAMACARE) would win against the KENYAN VILLAGE IDIOT.

    Why did the Republicans lose the House in 2018? It wasn't because of the issues. It was because veteran Republicans were getting term limited out of their committee positions so they just quit. And their seats were easy to gobble up by idiots like THE SQUAD.

    After Trump's second term, look for the Republicans to run a RINO like Romney (if he hasn't switched parties) or some other loser. As much as Donald Trump is a master educator and motivator of execs (as in THE APPRENTICE) even he can't produce miracles.

    By the way, JEB! was one of the best governors in the history of Florida. Among other things, he inherited a Florida public school system that was rated around #48 in the country. He signed into law a series of education reform packages that made Florida public schools the top in the country.


    This might get me in some trouble here, but Jeb! was the smartest Bush brother of the bunch. His becoming Governor of Florida was a sad twist of fate for his presidential ambitions. Had it been him running against Algore, he would have been a better president for those eight years.
