When the Republicans lose, and I mean LOSE it all in 2016, who do you think they will blame?

I see Trump as the guy to lay every loss in both the Presidency, Senate, and the House on. I think Trump is of the opinion that when his run for the Presidency is over, that will be the end of it. No one will be referring to him or blaming him in his mind. Game over... Boy, does he have another thing coming. Repubs always need someone or something to blame their shortcomings on and you can bet it will be him. I look forward to it and want to watch Trump sulk, pout and be angry at everyone. That's what children do....

..... they've got some other strategy it seems, like focusing on the House and Senate.

who promises more economic royalism and war is NOT going to excite the Dem base, but will certainly rile up the cave orc base of the Repigs big time

The President is the head of the executive branch. CEO if you will. I don't think that the GOP even believe that they have anyone capable of being at the top. They pushed Bush II into office and they know what he did to them.

Then they can get rich, obstruct everything, and blame the Democratic president. Also, fucking with more than half the state legislatures and governors offices has given the GOP power over people's lives that's just

Ignoring the sad facts of the run of GOP victories everywhere these last several election cycles seems to blunt that enthusiasm and make your prophesy more wishful thinking than fact based political view.

not enough Ronald Reagan love, anti-Christian hatred, the Jews, FEMA camps, Hillary emails, Benghazi, anti-police demagogues, George Soros, young people being stupid, MSNBC, Jimmy Carter, Climate Change, ACORN, Planned Parenthood, fantasy football, and the liberal media.

Because they know the one thing that can't be blamed is their complete and total lack of a single sound policy that would make the future better for anyone at all. Honestly it isn't Trump or Carson or Rubio etc... that put me off, it is the fact they have nearly the same moronic policies that don't work, won't work, and in some cases would damage the country beyond repair.

which, of course, will make the "librul media" bend over even more for the Republicans and give the Republican loser tons of free airtime to relentlessly hound and criticize the new Democratic President over the next four years.

Republicans have invested a lot of time and money in being willfullyingly ignorant toward reality. They always find an excuse.

How many metaphors can I mix?

We've been here before. We were sure no one would elect W the first time. Okay, so they did. But surely he'd never get elected the second time. And while he didn't, he still wound up as POTUS.

The popular election is a full year away. To paraphrase Trump's words, "How stupid are the Democratic voters?" We repeatedly think their guy is so totally absurd that no one would ever vote for him. But W got two terms.

Tread lightly on the rhetoric. KICK ASS on the GOTV.

for Hillary and proceed to give her the same treatment given Carter, Clinton, Obama . . it only slows them down a bit. It doesn't stop them, but Hillary is a lot friendlier to the powerful than Bernie.
