Things that should be BANNED from this board (or of otherwise DIAF)

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

- the GOP should/will become libertarian in the future
- the GOP/Democrats will inevitably die out because of this random info from 2012 exit polls
- when will Vermont become republican?
- when will Texas become democratic?
- what about a moderate third party?

How about your least favourite threads?

[YaBoyNY]

- The GOP must become socially liberal and fiscally conservative in order to survive.
- The Democrats must become socially liberal and fiscally conservative in order to survive?.

[Gog]

-Bernie is democratic Jesus
-trump will save america
-poll hyperbole

[100% pro-life no matter what]

How every state is trending Democratic and none are trending Republican

A failure to understand PVI giving the illusion of a Democratic advantage

- The GOP must become socially liberal and fiscally conservative in order to survive.
- The Democrats must become socially liberal and fiscally conservative in order to survive?.

That is true though

[Hydera]

- Obama won the 2008 Primary by a landslide
- Obama won 2008 by a landslide
- Bernie Sanders has support from Ron Paul supporters
- X candidate who claims to be independent will gain a lot of independent votes regardless of being a socialist just because he claims to be an independent.
- Claims of surge of Shy Conservative or Shy Leftwing, during election day threads.
- Libertarians will support X candidate and ignore their overall ideology because somehow they will ignore it and care about just one factor.

No it isn't.

Social issues change. There's no need for Republicans to moderate on the social issues of the future.

-"Libertarian states"

-Will the GOP collapse?

-New Democrat "Coalition" 1992-present

-State "trending."

[Kingpoleon]

- Ross Perot's heavy criticism of Daddy Bush didn't affect his voters's opinions of who to vote for
- The GOP shouldn't compete in most PVI swing states
- Hillary will win every state her Clinton '96 & Obama '08 did
- Hillary will crack 40% in Arkansas

Can *insert VP candidate here* carry *state*?

Oh yeah libertarian States is a good one. Especially people who insist that just because a state has mountains means it is libertarians.

Realigning elections and cyclic election theory are two more crackpot ideas, as is Duverger's Law.

- Bernie Sanders has support from Ron Paul supporters

I think I have seen some figures showing there is some truth to this. After all most voters are very non-ideological and don't entirely make logical decisions from an ideological PoV.

LOL, by the end of this thread, there will be nothing acceptable left to post except for making fun of libertarians and trashing Gravis Marketing!

"GOP base is poor uneducated people" would be a nice one to stop seeing sense it's factually incorrect despite the fact that our liberal members and the media repeat it endlessly.

Seriously.  Just statistically, poor Whites from the Deep South don't make up that big of a percentage of their own states, let alone the whole Republican electorate.  A lot of people who liberals would call "racist" or "homophobic" or "Bible thumpers" (not that I don't enjoy tossin' those terms around, too) are fairly well off and college educated.  There are several very affluent areas of the country that are VERY socially conservative.

Half the garbage in this thread, for one.

But, beyond all else, in the discussion of American politics, there are two words that should result in someone getting shot on the spot:

"incumbency fatigue"

Also I suspect there are a significant number of people who have shifted their ideology from Paulesque libertarianism to left-liberalism/social democracy/moderate socialism in the intervening years.

Pennsylvania is a hella inelastic state.  New Hampshire is hella elastic.

Overreactions based on one or two Elections, Such as are The Democrats are Doomed because of 2010 and/or 2014 or  will the GOP ever win the Whitehouse  again after 2008/2012.

Ohio is becoming like Missouri.

Recent trends will DEFINITELY continue infinitely into the future.

White people everywhere are realizing "I'm white. White people are supposed to vote Republican. I'd better start voting Republican now!"

People who ignore the US Senate. Sure, the Democrats will do great in presidential elections if they trade the entire Midwest for Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia, but they'll do terribly in the Senate if they're clearly only winning a minority of states.
