I see the GOP being the dominant Party in the US for decades to come

Democrat Party's strategic obsession with racial demagoguery  and 'demographics' have caused a white exodus from the party.  They've been able to stem this enough to cobble together a coalition in presidential years by using the homosexual issue and making things up about the GOP about birth control, et al.

Racial demagoguery? Do you really think that Barack Obama tries it?

The 'white exodus' is basically in the American South. The South has had a very different political culture from the rest of the US, even with places equally conservative at the time.

The problem for the Republican party is that non-white, non-Christian, non-Anglo, and non-straight middle class voters are not going Republican despite fitting most of the traits associated with Eisenhower-era conservatism.

A recent poll showed that roughly 3/5 of the American public support the legalization of same-sex marriage. Republicans are riding a dead horse if they try to exploit that increasingly-irrelevant issue.

Problem: someone better described as 'crazy' or 'cruel' instead of 'conservative' can bring Democrats out to vote.

Republican wins in 2010 and 2014 were legitimate, obviously. But you can't seriously argue they have a bigger mandate when Democrats comfortably won the last two elections that had WAY higher turnout. Higher turnout, bigger mandate, plain and simple. Call me when the "dominant" GOP comfortably wins a high turnout presidential election and we'll talk.

The point. The Presidential elections of 1980 and 1984 were stronger evidence of a Republican party gaining dominance in the political scene.

The telling refutation of the idea that the GOP is on the verge of dominance are

(1) abysmal approvals of Republican-dominated state legislatures and Congress
(2) Barack Obama winning two Presidential elections decisively
(3) positive approval of a lame-duck President

The voters who voted in 2006, 2008, and 2012 but stayed home in 2010 and 2014 may be slow to get the lesson -- but if they ever do, the GOP will need to change its agenda

People may be disappointed with President Obama, but not for what he sought -- they still want it. The GOP has little to offer.
