They don't need the Presidency when they have the House, Senate, Supreme Court, media, and the Presidents are spineless like Clinton and Obama.

As long as you realize just how far out of the mainstream you are, especially calling the media conservative, God bless you for your posts!  They're great, LOL.

The media is conservative, except for Salon.com.
The rest of the media didn't dare criticize Bush for over a year after he failed to prevent 9/11. Salon.com had the balls to have this article the next day. Crickets from the NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, and the rest of the supposedly liberal media. Gary Hart is of course a FF.

Ha, Ha your funny. NY Times is strongly a Dem paper. Washington Post is left of center. I never listened to NPR so I can't speak of them

Reagan and Nixon did perfectly well with divided govt. It is so much a problem; that the GOP, not Dems are worried that Obama and Hilary may have to face.

It is only until the end of the decade; and Congress will level off, as bulk of GOP governors are term limited and reapportionment will be back.

Xavier Beracera; not Pelosi wil be next Speaker, after Boehner.


Yeah if and when the Dems win back the US House. The GOP has had the House Majority for 16 out of the last 20 years.

I can honestly see it happening eventually.  Sure the parties are always in the public eye and exposed to greater media, so it would be harder to have a party be replaced, but that does not mean that it is impossible.  Some people are claiming that the blue wall will collapse, and it will eventually, but they do not realize the chance of the red wall collapsing as well.  If the Republicans keep on losing, certain red states will become available in time.  Though the blue wall will fall, I feel that it will coincide with the collapse of the red wall and, in the election following the collapses, the Dems will come out on top once more.  However, the GOP could survive all of this.  After a string of successes, the Dems will most likely move from centre-right to centre-left.  And then, to insure survival, the GOP will have to become Prog-Cons to return.  If they don't, they could see competition from the Libertarians or some other new party.
The Dems are centre-left just check DW-Nominate. True about the GOP though that they will have to have a Progressive-Conservatism in the future to win the Presidency.

Still the GOP can still win Governorships and State Legislature even if the Dems win the Presidency. The GOP seems to be better suited governing at the State Level than say the Presidency right now.

The media isn't conservative, but it sure falls hard over itself to help the Republicans.
Obama.

Funny....Republican Voters think Congressional Republicans are spinless:

1.) Don't repeal ObamaCare
2.) Give Obama Fast Track Authority on "TPP"
3.) Don't repeal Obama's Executive Amnesty.

I just think in divided government neither side gets what it wants except for Number 2 on my list. 1.) and 3.) The Republicans could do nothing about.

It might happen temporaraly if the Teaparty wing split and ran as a seperate party, however this would not last long, after both parties realize they are just splitting the vote, and allowing the Democrats to win.
No it would probably be a party to the GOP's left flank not to their right.
