Midknight Review -- new and revised: Is it the GOP's turn to win back the White House. Yes. But the Dems have been telling us for 8 years that the GOP can no longer win presidential elections. Really? I don't think so and here is why.

Can the GOP step in an win the White House, in spite of the accepted assumption that the GOP can no longer win a national election? Of course it can. That is why the Dems are scared out of their collective mind.

Here is Politico's answer to my question:

Three years ago, President Obama became the first Democrat in 76 years to win a second term with a repeat majority vote. Yet Romney still won two-dozen states with a total of 206 electoral votes. Based on current polling and historical trends, a credible GOP ticket right now must be considered likely to carry all the 24 Romney states and their 206 electoral votes. The key to Republican hopes to win 270 electoral votes next year therefore revolves around the three biggest swing states: Florida, Ohio and Virginia.
Yet a credible future GOP nominee has reason to be hopeful. Obama carried Florida last time by only 0.9 percent. Hillary Clinton suffers from an upside down image among Sunshine State voters, 37 percent having a favorable opinion but 57 percent holding a negative one in a recent poll. She is in a statistical tie with highly unpopular GOP hopeful Donald Trump and loses by 11 percent to former Governor Jeb Bush. Florida statistically should be the easiest of these key swing states for the GOP to win.

Let's not forget that G.W.'s re-election (2004) took in more than 12 million more votes than his first campaign, while Obama lost 3.5 million votes compared to his 2008 totals, as Romney took in 1 million more votes than McCain . . . . . .    a total negative swing for the Dems of 4.5 million.

If we put that re-election campaign in historic context, as it turns out, the 2012 election, for the Dems, was a predictor as to the 2014 midterms, one of the most one sided election cycles in American history.    Understand that the Progressive/Socialist Party has lost enough of it's political power in Washington and across the nation, to make it the weakest Progressive conclave since 1928   . . . .   nearly 100 years ago.

If anyone thinks a Hillary Clinton or a Joe Biden or an Elizabeth Warren, is going to end this shocking downward trend, they really are not thinking rationally.

Fine with me.

The last thing we need on Earth, is a rational Progressive.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
