The pendulum swings both ways. While the GOP may be gaining ground now, the pendulum will swing back to the Democrats. It is certainly possible, if not likely, that we will have a Republican president in 2017, after a Republican has been in there for 4-8 years we'll see the pendulum start swinging back around the 6th year midterms, if not the 2nd year midterms. In the last 40 years we have only had the pendulum stay on one side of the aisle longer than 8 years one time and that was 1981-1993 when Reagan and Bush were in office. That's another part of the healthy checks and balances this country enjoys. I reject the sentiment that the Democrats will be dominant for decades to come, but I also reject the sentiment that the Republicans will be dominant for decades to come. Either party will only be riding high for at most one decade at a time and that's pushing it.
I'm white and have not fled the party, guess I missed the memo...
