No question this is the case and the direction.Originally posted by WATU2:

Unfortunately I think that may be the case. But IMO it will further erode american influence in the world and probably will be the demise of the dollar as the worlds currency. The real harm will be when our kids - the next generation - hate us for the declining country we leave them. Sooner or later, we will pay for the "change" we've adopted.Originally posted by Tu Geo:

My guess is the ultra right wing will lose a couple of more national elections before the Repubs politicians start moving towards the center and figure out how to become competitive.
Looks very good for the Dems for now and going forward. Hoping the Dems stay away from far left candidates, only because I don't think its in the best interest for America, because as I see it no Repub has a chance right now. The demographics are already in place.
I predict center valued minded minorities and women will start to be heard in the future( When? I hope soon) and begin to be nominated as candidates in the Repubs party. That will change the demographic dynamic. Ageing White male candidates equals a losing strategy in national elections. I know that sounds harsh and but it is reality.
The sooner the Repubs figure the demographic mosaic of the population the better for the country. As long as the Dems know they are going to win every national election look for the far left wing to throw its weight around in the Dems party. Better for all of us if more moderate candidates are nominated by both parties. That wont happen until the Repubs change the demographic in their nominees.
Bottom line I expect everything in the political spectrum shifts a little to the left.
GO TU!!!!
You may well be correct about 2016 and beyond. However, I believe the Republicans will take the Senate and hang on to the House this Fall. The Democrats will be dragging an anchor with the President at very low popularity and this being the class that came in on the win 6 years ago. History has shown that off year elections for lame duck presidents have been good for their party in Congress.Originally posted by Tu Geo:

Totally agree TUMe elections at the Senate, House and State levels are still very competitive, however, the changing demographics are now a huge advantage to the Dems in National election.Originally posted by TUMe:

Keep in mind that the "Flyover States" like Oklahoma have 2 Senators just like New York or California and there are some in Missouri, Louisiana and others that could tip back. Next years rates for Obamacare may well be announced before November, also.
