Excellent points. (We make a great colour commentary team!)
But here's something else. Trump has completely fucked the GOP. It's a useless short-term win (aside from some judicial nominations) at the cost of totally wrecking the GOP strategy for the next 25 years.
2016 was supposed to be the transition year. That was the election wherein the GOP was supposed to reach out to the burgeoning Hispanic population, win their hearts and minds and combine them with the white redneck vote in an unstoppable combination. Bush, Cruz and Rubio... what do those 3 guys have in common????? All leaders of southern tier heavy Hispanic states. Two had Hispanic names. All 3 were in favour of immigration reform, amnesty and anything Hispanic-friendly they could possibly figure out how to do.
So along comes President Peach-hair and he whips up the white, redneck, racist, anti-immigrant base and goes full-on hate on anything brown at, near or inside the US border. The "Wall"! Killing DACA. Zapping those Honduran mothers and taking away their babies. Fuck Sanctuary Cities! Ramp up ICE. Endless anti Hispanic rhetoric, including an election-time attack on a respected Hispanic-American judge!!
And the white, hillbilly, racist anger will NOT go away. It's out of the cage now and it is NOT going back inside. After Trump, there will be mini-Trumps and Trump-wannabes to piss off the hispanics and divide the GOP for the next 2 or 3 decades. Any shot the GOP EVER had of taking a majority of the Hispanic vote is GONE!
What does that mean? Well, CA ain't never going to be republican again for sure. FL is getting more and more demographically Hispanic. So is TX. If the GOP lose FL and TX, it's tits-up, game over. Mathematically, the GOP does not win the presidency ever again without those 2 states.
Oh, and you actually believed Jeb Bush was pro Amnesty because he was just a nice guy????!!!!! Silly Boober!
Throw in some of the traditionally Red southern states becoming urbanized and influxed with liberal Yankees from the North and you start to lose the South as well. VA is gone. NC is becoming a little mauve. In time, it will go blue as well. Then GA. The GOP will likely be able to hold AL and WV. They'll be the Bastions of MAGA!!!!!!
That's why this whiny-ass Libtard LOVES DJT!!!!
