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

[monmouth4]

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....

1. The Clenis.

21. This, lol ^^^^ nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. they should blame the stupid citizens

who support the crap they spew.

[marmar]

3. Doesn't even seem to me they're trying to win the presidency......

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

[monmouth4]

4. Yes, I agree with that. That's why GOTV especially in those elections is a must....n/t

[hifiguy]

24. And a tired candidate with tons of baggage

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

7. That is indeed what is happening and grabbing the state houses.

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.

[mountain grammy]

12. Yep

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

[longship]

5. Game over, man. Game over.

[Doubledee]

6. enthusiasm is great

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.

[edhopper]

8. They could lose the Senate with or without

a good Pres nominee. The will not lose the House.

[Yupster]

9. Boehner

and McConnell.

[B Calm]

10. Republicans will blame all the illegals voting.

[Johonny]

11. lack of morals in America, Democratic voter fraud, uppity black people, illegal Mexicans,

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.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. The librul media, of course

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.

[romanic]

14. Starbucks coffee cups.

[Rex]

15. They will blame Dems for cheating, like they always do.

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

[MohRokTah]

16. They'll scream election fraud.

It's what parties do when they lose.

[bullwinkle428]

17. They'll lose the House only if their candidate is caught screwing a goat on

top of Reagan's grave. (I stole that directly from Charlie Pierce's blog this morning! )

[mmonk]

18. It is impossibe for them to lose it all due to gerrymandering.

[FormerDittoHead]

19. That they weren't "conservative" *enough*....

That's what they always say when defeated.

That's "why" McCain lost:

That's "why" Romney lost:

20. As bat-shit crazy as this clown car is, don't count your chickens...

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.

[KamaAina]

22. Obama.

Who else?

[Todays_Illusion]

23. If Hillary wins the big money behind Republicans and Hillary will win. That big money will settle

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.
