So tell me why, then, the GOP has picked up seats in the House of Representatives and turned a Democratic majority into a GOP majority? How have they taken a Democratic majority in the Senate and turned that into a GOP majority? How have the GOP won 31 of the 50 governor seats? How does the GOP have control of 31 of the state Senates and 33 of the state House of Reps? What solid ground are you on? You are saying the GOP is no longer a viable party and yet they have sweeping control of the Federal Legislative branch, and they dominate about 3/5 of all state governments. None of that was supposed to be possible in this day and age but apparently the GOP is doing remarkably well for a party with no relevance.

Where do you think governors and state legislatures and the federal Congress come from? Elections. How are the GOP winning, and at such wide margins (again 31 out of 50 governors, 33 out of 50 state senates, 34 out of 50 state houses of reps, 245 out of 435 in the House, 54 out of 100 in the Senate) and how are they taking control away from Dems (as was done in Congress) if they are failing at the election polls? The answer is, the Dems are winning the Presidential elections (and just the election of the President in those), and nothing else. The problem for the Dems, is, that the nothing else represents the lionshare of the government in the US these days.

In the past few elections the GOP now has control in the following places you wouldn't think they would, or at least to the extent that they do have control:

- Florida - governor and both houses of legislature
- Illinois - governor
- Maine - governor and state senate
- Maryland - governor
- Massachusetts - governor
- Michigan - governor and both houses of legislature
- Minnesota - state house
- Nevada - governor and both houses of legislature
- New Hampshire - both houses of legislature
- New Mexico - governor and both houses of legislature
- New York - state senate
- Ohio - governor and both houses of legislature
- North Carolina - governor and both houses of legislature
- Pennsylvania - both houses of legislature
- Washington - state senate
- Wisconsin - governor and both houses of legislature

That's a lot of places where the GOP hasn't had any control in decades, or places where they haven't had such total control in the same amount of time. And all at a time when the GOP is supposedly dissolving and ceasing as a political party, as per dawg.

Trouble is only about 36% of the population agrees with this.

So what do we do?

So far it seems to be, to restrict voting rights to those who agree with this platform..

Our party is toast..

Keep saying it. Like a good donk, if you repeat it enough times it MUST be true, right?

And they do it with weak national leadership, no real ideas, and ho-hum candidates. If you think the GOP is a mess, just remember the donks have gotten shellacked in the last two midterm elections.

Most gerrymandered state... Maryland, my Maryland. Maryland has historically had three blue counties (Montgomery, Prince Georges and Baltimore) yet...

Andrew P. Harris (R), 1st Congressional District
C. A. Dutch Ruppersberger III (D), 2nd Congressional District
John P. Sarbanes (D), 3rd Congressional District
Donna F. Edwards (D), 4th Congressional District
Steny H. Hoyer (D), 5th Congressional District
John K. Delaney (D), 6th Congressional District
Elijah E. Cummings (D), 7th Congressional District
Christopher Van Hollen, Jr. (D), 8th Congressional District

You can expect the 1st district will be redrawn soon to get rid of that oddball R.

He's trolling like a boss



Shameful...

Lotta white, rural idiots and racists who vote for em.

Gonadfuck also leaves out the fact that with all these majorities and seats, to date, they have not accomplished anything of significance.

But idiots like you eat it up.

No one has said they have but that wasn't Wedgie's argument. You wanna talk about that, go start a fucking thread about it. THIS thread is about whether the party is dead or not. And it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that THAT is a fallacy.
