Continually scream “Scandal! Scandal! Scandal!”? :dubious:
adaher, I have 1990 on the line and they’d like to talk to you about something.
Also, 1983 left you a message.
And 1985 would like to know when you have some time to look at a few things.
Srsly.
The GOP held on this election due to gerrymandering.
Not voting for Obama is a hell of a long way from voting for the other side.
Even if they were all in play for your side, there is a lot more going on demographically. The GOP isn’t doing enough to maintain their share of the vote. It will all come down to the GOP’s ability to tolerate more difference within the party.
Everyone may now lol at the likely result of that cognitive dissonance.
Americans love myth and Reagan could deliver. Set up the right story and we’ll all pitch in with the WSOD.
Well, broken clock, twice a day and all.

Well, his two chances will come later, I guess.
My point was that the OP is just doing a little chest-thumping to accompany his severe self-deluding act*. It doesn’t strike me that any actual “stomping” has been taking place.
You know, except on his delusions. 
*For one thing, he appears the be neglecting that “right-wing” Europeans coming over here to join the electorate are still more likely to find themselves philosophically aligned with Democrats.
BTW, did you know Democratic House candidates got 1.2 million more votes than Republicans in the 2012 elections?
C’mon, right-wing Europeans couldn’t even cross the English Channel in 1940. What are the chances they’ll make it all the way across the Atlantic?
Yeah, if I was in charge of the Republican Party, I don’t think “vote against politicians who’ve been involved in a scandal” is the direction I’d have chosen.
They can win more votes in the Senate and still lose the Senate, because of the gerrymandering the founders did.
Why? Despite all sorts of unfounded claims about the “60s generation,” they were not all that locked on the Left. During Vietnam, polls consistently showed that that group had a slight majority that favored the war. (It was not a great majority, but it was hardly the massive leaning in the other direction that a lot of people believed.)
Carter won because Ford pardoned Nixon and kept saying dumb things and hitting his head on airplane passageways, not because the “60s generation” swept him into office as the torch bearer for the Age of Aquarius.
A better example would have been the “Greatest” Generation that really had locked into the Democrats for years, but then began falling away (with Nixon, not Reagan–Reagan picked up the last unionized holdouts after the rest of them had already switched sides) in the face of public conflict surrounding the Democrats.
That logic would work if he didn’t start a fucking Pit thread over it. He pretty much asked for a pile-on.
He even previously said that he would no longer discuss anything but financial policy when it came to politics, as he recognized that he was too ignorant on other subjects, yet here he is breaking his word.
I see no evidence that he has actually learned anything. He’s once again cherry picking polling numbers that he think support his side. He’s using data that Nate Silver himself probably wouldn’t take into account, because it’s all he has to defend his position.
And I’m not entirely sure why he’s so devoted to a party that he only half agrees with. He’s even said he plans on voting for Clinton if she runs. Why would he want the GOP to survive, except after a huge change in values? Values that would negate any need to be looking for more old white people.
I would consider Clinton. I didn’t say I’d vote for her. I’m not supporting her over Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Bobby Jindal, or Chris Christie.
I’m pretty sure the fact that you’d vote for the first three is good evidence that you’re not very smart.
But I guess we have a lot of that already, right? 
Keep fucking that chicken, adaher, old chum. KFTC.
Harrumph. You just don’t understand true genius.
Let us know when it arrives.
You rang?
Adaher, a true genius would not continually set himself up like that. It’s like a fishing lure that imitates a crippled minnow perfectly: a fish can’t help but bite. Like Jerry Ford*, you aren’t helping yourself by continually banging your head on doorways.

- Yes, I know Ford was not as clumsy as Chevy Chase made him out to be. I’m making a point based on the cliche. Work with me.
I feel good about democrats winning as long as adaher says that they won’t.
Now when adaher starts predicting that the democrats are going to sweep everything in a landslide because of some polling or whatever, I’m going to know to be sad.
Clinton is pretty much a lock if she wins the nomination.
