Man, you really went out on a limb on that one!(LOL)
 
In the short term, the GOP will be a minority party but will adjust it's platform to a more centrist platform and become competitive again. As the wave of baby boomers fades away, control of the GOP will be fought between the far right and the more center right. I expect the far right will be too weakend living under DNC majority and will fail to win over the GOP.

Can't disagree with that

Ummmmmmmm, we’ve got a few blue states from the past which have turned red, not to mention Florida which has turned from purple to red.

It's the number of electoral college votes for these states that matter...

(1) Trump Wasn't/ isn't a conservative

(2) Penn, Mich and Wis are UNION states

(3) Penn. , Mich and Wis are predominately white states

(4)Texas and Az have Huge and growing HISPANIC populations that isn't happening in the above states mentioned

they'll have to cheat and suppress the vote more actively.

My experience has been that "Hispanics," at least those who adhere to the Catholic faith, are fairly conservative. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona have had significant Hispanic populations, and been "Red" for many years.

IMO the "trend" to Blue is coming from the strangest of sources...Left-Leaning Liberals fleeing from the "utopias" of California, New York, and other "high tax" States.
 
1. The future of the Republican Party?

2. Well, by the end of this century, the Democratic Party will represent the interests of the NEW majority ethnicity.

3. The Republican Party will perforce represent the interests of the three largest minority groups.

Period.

Democrats tend to bring with them the politics that they are fleeing from.

It is great you can predict the future. Can you do the same at the roulette table. We can all be rich!!!

Jokes aside, who knows what either party will stand for a decade from now. Perhaps democrats will finally allow a true immigration bill to pass. I understand having no bill has helped them for the last couple of decades,but eventually this farce has to end.

Then again if the Democratic party follows the lead of Bernie Sanders that leaves the entire center left without a party. Seems like an easy trade for the Republican party. Toss aside the extreme right and curry favor with the center right and left. This is where I am guessing now but I would wager about 70% of voters.

Also remember that the kids in their 20's now will be parents and have responsibilities in a decade. The boomers you decry were the rebels of the 1960's.

Not sure if folks are here for a reasoned debate. Just thought I would try on this one.

Voter suppression was a big factor in the 2016 election and will be an even bigger factor in 2020. In Florida where there has historically been problem with elections, last year alone, republicans removed over 360,000 overwhelmingly democratic voters from the rolls. Florida is changing voting precincts, they're determining a hunter's license as a sufficient form of ID but a person's student ID is not. If people go in to vote and sign their name on the ballot and if their signature looks different than it did from the year before, their ballot gets invalidated. Not that it's a surprise to anyone but republicans are not playing fair.

In 2015 in Brooklyn, New York over 120,000 names were dropped from the rolls and that purge represented mostly minority Hispanics districts. The Board of Elections announced that it would reinstate all voters in time for the 2016 congressional primary. The Board of Elections subsequently suspended the Republican appointee in connection to the purge, but kept on her Democratic counterpart. In 2019, presiding circuit court Judge Paul V. Malloy of Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, removed 234,000 voters from the statewide rolls. ruling that state law compelled him to do so.

Unless there's more rigid protections against such illegal practices, particularly in swing-states, then it really doesn't matter how many people get out to vote, republicans will win, not off the merit, but by attempts to keep voter suppression high and their attempts to keep voters from participating in the process. The deep south is where people are particularly susceptible to voter suppression.

The DNC will experience the same thing. They are in the midst of their civil war at this very second.

You're all over the map with those responses. Try telling Evangelicals that Trump isn't a conservative. Penn, Mich and Wis are UNION states which Democrats don't seem to care if they lose jobs overseas. These three states are white states? Is that your way of agreeing that they have gone Republican? I thought you were trying to counter my post, not defend it. A lot of Hispanics like Trump and are against illegals.

LMAO... Demographics is not the GOP's friend...
 
Florida has 29, Texas 38 these will change after the 2020 census..

Since you are so good at math, please add up Texas and Arizona compared to Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. While you're at it, you should also add in Iowa to the right's total. They used to be blue.

Are you predicting Pennsylvania for Trump?
