        I guess I just disagree. Don’t disparage an entire system then run there for a surgery. Oh well.

          They're also in the minority, which is probably why they suddenly found their spine on this

                He never hid it before, either. But now all of a sudden Republicans are shocked, shocked do you hear?, that he's a full frontal frothing racist.

                  His favorability probably went up.

Add in the results from November and the fact Trump is losing ground outside of uneducated white males and you have mooking reevaluating his last post.

                        It wouldnt. But if you can pretend that the popular vote doesnt matter because of California and I can do the same with Texas. Without Texas the GOP has no strategy or path at all to win. They are only close in the popular vote because of Texas...and those numbers arent trending the right way for them in the Trump era.

                          1) unlike you folks here, R don't seem concerned with national popular vote, as THEY DON'T MATTER
                          2) strategy has them winning 3 out of last five with two incredibly poor candidates. in any sport batting/shooting 60% gets one in the hof.

                          ..it's ok to take some criticism and reflect every once in a while

                          3) heck, outside of two incredibly dynamic people (and on the coattails of a resignation), R have won 8 of 13 in mookie's lifetime. whatever that strategy isn't, it is working.

                            While I appreciate mookie's willingness to show his age, what happened in 1972 is irrelevant. GOP strength was 70's and 80's where they won 49 states twice (72,84), 40 states once (1988) and another blowout win in 1980. Once that era passed, from 1992-2016 Dems are 4 out of 7 with 3 blowouts (92,96,08) and one solid win (12). GOP had two razor thin wins (00,16) and one solid win (04). Things ain't trending the GOP's way so screw rural racists. No point in trying to appeal to them as it'll be a fool's errand anyway.

                              To be fair R stole 2 of them (2000 via Jeb!, 2016 via Ivan). So revise your numbers to 1 of the last 5 and 6/13, 2 of which were a Generational Talent for bamboozling the suckers. Take out Reagan (as you take out CA) and that's 1/5 and 4/13 -- Whig territory.

                                I'm also amused as to how its always the Dems who need to revamp when is the GOP who's lost 4 out of 7 and the popular vote in 6 out of 7 which doesn't seem a good recipe for future success.

                                If there's maybe one sliver of a silver lining in the Chump Presidency, its that anybody who's not part of the treasonous money laundering cult we call "Republicans" starts taking elections seriously. All elections from Prez all the way down to dogcatcher. Last year's midterms were a positive sign. The cult came out in force, but GOP still got smoked even with partisan gerrymanders everywhere.
