The problem is the GOP has gotten away with refusing to adapt to modernity. When the Dems got their asses kicked in the 80’s, they did adapt. The GOP however never really got a true asskicking that would have told them that their way wasn’t going to work. They were being beat but by enough where the nuts could argue “We lost because we weren’t conservative enough” and then Trump won which emboldened the nuts even further. The GOP post Trump is going ot be interesting.

The Dems hit the Clinton road block which stopped all bold progressive ideas being adopted by the party due to their dynasty plans, imho.

Obama did wonders but was totally hindered by trying to be strictly constitutional, bi-partisan and not accepted by the establishment Dems.

Ready and anxious for a new tact.
