re: #216 Targetpractice

Really, about the only thing that will keep them afloat for even another decade will be voter apathy, capitalizing largely upon the idea that voting “doesn’t change anything” and so artificially driving down participation. When voter participation is high, the Repubs tend to fall short at the polls, so the only means of ensuring their survival will be in getting voters to stay home.

High voter turnout is invariably the kiss of death for the GOP. They don’t have the numbers to win.

Eventually, Texas is going to become a swing state - and then probably a blue state. And when that happens, the GOP is pretty much finished as a nationally competitive party.

Texas is the key.
