Most Expected Backlash-The Left might not have counted on ordinary Americans not buying their narrat

I have a problem with that and we can get into why if you want but you raise a truly debatable point where each side has merit.

When the country was being founded we knocked around a number of different ways to govern ourselves before we ended up with the system we all know today.

Thomas Jefferson was a proponent of a single body legislature made up by representatives based on the amount of tax dollars paid by each state.

If that were to occurs today, theoretically blue states would control about 64% of the federal legislature.

I don't have a problem with parents voting for their children at the polls till they are 18.

Parents have skin in the game.

Jefferson was right, imo, to propose representation based on tax.

It would seem tariffs might be unfair to port states.
 
We have a great constitutional system in the United States. The Constitution is one of the most respected political documents ever written and will continue to be studied for many more centuries. The men who contributed to the Constitution were great thinkers and showed great wisdom.

Why do you hate it so much ?

They hate it so much because they want to destroy the US as we know it! You have to question whether these guys are foreigners. Most of them probably, are and taking their orders from their globalist masters! Do these fools really believe that their lives and that of their children and grandchildren will be better off in a socialist, communist or islamist society? If they are Americans who want the so called utopia of socialism, communism or islamism, they are free to leave and go to their dream countries and live there! Nobody is stopping them! Most Americans are patriotic and millions died to protect our freedoms! I do not see any patriotic American choosing the failed models of socialism, communism or islamism! Look at China (communist) and Russia (Socialist), why did they accept and fully embrace capitalism? They know it works and the top leaders know they are better off in a capitalist economy. No one runs to embrace the failures of socialism, communism or islamism as no one wants to live a miserable life!

We got millions more votes in country's biggest election less than 2 years ago.GA and AZ are within 5 points.NC and VA are toss ups.Texas is now single digits.We just came within 1 point of a GOP district that the GOP last won by 36 points.


Arizona has crossed the blue line.Texas and Georgia within 3

Hillary won Va by 6,Northem won it by 9 and Kaine just won it by 15.I think we can now call VA blue.

This was a solid red state that Reagan won by 25.Bush,Dole and Bush Jr later went on to win it .

What happened in VA is now happening in Texas,Arizona and Georgia:D
 
Newt Gingrich: The Trump Republican Party is arising out of a political revolution

Primaries, special election test Trump's political influence

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp says the president's endorsement was like 'pouring gasoline on a fire.'

The biggest takeaway message from Tuesday’s primaries and the Ohio special election is that the Republican Party is becoming President Trump’s party.

In fact, the degree to which pro-Trump Republicans prevailed is the fifth major achievement of the Trump presidency so far.

First, the president and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., placed a record number of conservative, constitutionally minded judges on the federal bench.

Second, President Trump moved power out of Washington and liberated businesses to accelerate economic growth through his historic deregulation effort.

Third, the president succeeded in working with congressional Republicans to pass a massive tax cut that has created jobs and grown the economy much faster than any of the elites thought possible.

Fourth, the president began to rebuild the American military after the Obama administration spent eight years deliberately undermining it.

Now President Trump has begun to grow a Trump Republican Party. The examples from Tuesday are striking, but this growth started earlier. In primary after primary, President Trump has proved to be a decisive voice.

I saw this firsthand in Georgia, when his endorsement of Secretary of State Brian Kemp turned what was expected to be a close primary race into a one-sided victory for the Trump candidate. Similarly, on Tuesday the Trump-endorsed candidates won GOP nominations.

This is a very important long-term development because it means that in 2019 and beyond the president will have a Republican Party substantially more favorable to his policies. It also means that the never-Trumpers will gradually decline into a less noisy, less relevant part of American politics.

The never-Trumpers are like the Bourbon monarchy, which “had learned nothing and forgotten nothing” (an apocryphal quote from Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord describing the Bourbons’ behavior after the abdication of Napoleon). Because of their inability to change, the Bourbons gradually disappeared as the French Republics created new patterns.

This shrinking and then disappearing process is nothing new.

When former President Theodore Roosevelt left the Republican Party in 1912, he took a generation of progressives with him. The conservatives consolidated their grip on the Republican Party, and many of the progressives became Franklin Delano Roosevelt Democrats.

Likewise, when President Franklin Roosevelt turned out to be much more liberal than expected, his close friend and ally Al Smith – the former governor of New York and Democratic presidential nominee of 1928 – started supporting Republicans in opposition of the New Deal.

In more recent times, President Ronald Reagan dominated the GOP in the 1980s and dissenters like Sen. Bob Packwood or Oregon, who started off skeptical, came on board. Packwood was convinced to lead the tax reform fight.

Similarly, loyal Democrats like former Sens. Zell Miller of Georgia and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut found the increasing radicalism of the left so unacceptable that they became very pro-Republican. Miller endorsed President George W. Bush at the 2004 Republic National Convention and Lieberman seriously considered running as the vice presidential candidate with Sen. John McCain of Arizona in 2008.

In addition to dominating the primaries, President Trump proved to be very effective in turning out the Republican vote in the Ohio special election. There were a lot of Washington’s so-called experts questioning whether he would help or hurt turnout. While there are still provisional and absentee ballots to count to finalize the result, the results so far indicate that the Republican vote surged in the days leading up to the election and the GOP nominee leads in the current vote count.

The warning to Democrats and the media for the November elections should be pretty direct: If President Trump spends September and October defining the election on his terms, the outcome in November might be as shocking to the left as 2016’s was.

The most amazing thing about the Trump effect is how efficient it is.

Simple tweets have helped nominate the GOP candidates for governor and congressional seats in state after state. With this kind of economy of effort, it is no wonder President Trump is doing so many things in parallel.

In the process, the president is growing a Trump Republican Party that will turn the never-Trumpers into a fossilized remnant of bitter-enders that attract smaller and smaller audiences who pay less and less attention.

In short, this is what a political revolution looks like.
