The Daily News published a blistering, 14-chapter editorial that railed against Donald Trump and everything that he stands for.
Its front page on Friday morning: “NEWS TO AMERICA: BURY TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE. Restore U.S. honor with giant defeat of the fearmongering demagogue.”
The New York tabloid has long established itself as one of Trump’s foes. When the Manhattan businessman launched his presidential campaign in the summer of 2015, the Daily News depicted the Republican as a clown. In turn, Trump has repeatedly tweeted that the newspaper is “failing” and “worthless.”
But Friday’s editorial, which clocks in at more than 7,900 words, might be the most scathing attack on Trump from any newspaper in the country.
And because Trump refused to say at Wednesday’s presidential debate that he would accept the election results, the Daily News urged the public to deliver an unequivocal message on Election Day.
sounds like that whacked out left wing paper is desperate Again.. and fear a Trump landslide.. they were wrong about his primaries too.. wasn’t it the daily news that called trump supporters mindless Zombies? oh yea it was.. they lost subscriptions over that one.. guess they want to lose more.. lmao
Killary, DNC, Obummer's DOJ and FBI all Lied and Spied and Good People Died!
The New York Daily News is owned by Billionaire Mortimer Zuckerman, who happens to be a lifelong Democrat and a major supporter and donor to Hillary Clinton...Of course he wants a landslide...He bought the tabloid in 2014 to propagandize the people...Only the clueless neglect to research the owners of major media....I doubt I could ever find any unbiased major media source....The establishment has been buying up major media for over 20 years and don't care if it ever turns a financial profit...........
This time Zuckerman is right, in two weeks the GOP we once knew will no longer exist.
I grew up during the 1970s and 1980s when Republicans won four of the five presidential elections of that period. They won with 40 or more states and 426 or more electoral votes.
There was talk about the Democratic Party of that period having become nearly extinct.
What is not mentioned is that one dominant party, at the presidential level, has a talent for propping up the opposition party with the midterm congressional elections. The Republicans propped up the Democrats during those two decades. And now that the Democrats are having their period of kicking the Republicans’ butts by winning presidential elections they are also propping up the Republicans by losing to them in the midterm congressional elections.
The Republicans and Democrats rig the system to make sure nothing—and no one—else gets in the way of their duopoly. They are dance partners. And it is only these two who gets the spotlight.

There is no historic equivalent for what's occurring to the GOP this election cycle. The party is at war with itself over ideology, and it's literally imploding right before our eyes.
Where this will lead our nation will depend on who controls congress - the Dems will likely win the Senate, while the right barely keeps the House. Which is really bad news for our nation because congress will mutiny as soon as it goes into a new session, over Paul Ryan's removal as Speaker - and that's just for starters.
So, in other words, the destruction of the GOP is only beginning. And will not be in full force until the 115th Congress is seated, which could make Watergate look like a Sunday picnic.
Simply because the ramifications of this loss by the GOP will be felt for decades, and party leadership is likely aware of this also.

Can you pinpoint the date?
What I mean is, if the Republican Party officially dies, can you tell me the date that will happen?
Your comment, vs. mine, indicates that you feel a confidence with predicting the future.
I think going by history—and a history not too long ago—is more informed.
But, let's say that the Republican Party will die. That you will be correct. What do you think is going to happen after that? And what do you think will happen with the Democratic Party? I'm not asking about the viability and the winning of elections. I'm asking about policies.

The death of the GOP as a viable political party has taken decades. So, it's been a slow but painful death caused by an overdose of right-wing conservativism. But make no mistake the GOP's not dead yet, conservatives haven't completely killed it - mostly because it's still well financed.
The GOP is now in the unenviable position of losing control of Government, for years to come - if not decades. Simply because it's seen by a majority of voters as no longer serving the interests of minorities, women and the middle-class.
Mark my words - The GOP will never win the White House again as long as it doesn't support comprehensive immigration reform, to include a path to citizenship, and make it federal law. Never. Why? Because minorities will see to it, and every four years there vote increases nationally.
The GOP is dead as a viable political party and it has been for decades. This is one of the main reasons the GOP can't legislate it can only investigate, and why it can't even provide our nation with a competent House Speaker.

70 is somewhat like Chicken Little. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. But 70 also has the all powerful crystal ball with Ouija power back up. Worst case scenario Clinton will win with a Senate majority and that is about it.

A Senate majority and that's about it? What about a change in Supreme Court majority? Which doesn't happen very often, and can have profound legal effects that last decades when it does. We're going to see a lot of changes in our country in the next few years - likely none will please conservatives.

I suspect that we would be better off with a liberal court. By next year there may be five liberal votes on issues such as campaign finance, the death penalty and gun control. I don't care about campaign finance and the death penalty anyway. Gun control is another matter.
I want to quote your more recent response to me. (All these quotes within quotes are on the verge of giving me a headache.)
From 70-101:

It is also propped up by neoliberal Democratic Party leadership, more and more trending toward imperialism (and appearing kind of "liberal" only on some social issues, like same-sex marriage, while pro-war). This very much includes at the level of the presidency (Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and, coming up, Hillary Clinton).
What I wrote earlier stands. These two major political parties are the perfect dance couple. (You didn't mention anything about what you think the Democratic Party will bring in policies. Any thoughts?)
Quote:

Well, that's been said a lot in more recent years. There's a love of "demographics" talked up by people who are rooting for the Democratic Party. (It's as if that is all that goes into the exit polls. They never shift, correct?) But, I think it's very notable that Republicans still win midterm elections off incumbent Democratic presidents. They now have a impressive level of the majority of the state houses.

Typically what determines which party wins a presidential election has to do with conditions; the mood of the country; the trajectory of the election race.
(I don't need to repeat what I wrote in the previous paragraphs about demographics. But what needs to be said is this: The most consecutive presidential elections won by a given political party in our nation's history is seven. No political party always wins. And when a loss is rendered, and there is a pickup for the opposition party, the demographics shift toward that competing party. The demographics advantage is not foolproof.)

This was said back in 2008 because, prior to Election Day, people were sensing it to be a realigning election as far as the presidency goes. What did not get forecast,, right then in 2008, was that the Republicans would flip the U.S. House would be a landslide for the Republicans, in 2010, and the U.S. Senate would flip nearly ten seats, in 2014, to win over control of each house in those separate midterm congressional elections. What was no predicted, back in 2008, was that the majority of state houses would also go Republican. But, here in 2016, we still have Proud Democrats saying that the Republicans Are Dead (or Almost Dead).
This is really silly. Even if one of the two current major parties died—as the talk was for the Democrats, from losing four of five presidential elections, from the 1970s and 1980s; lately with the Republicans, from losing four of six presidential elections (and five of six losses in the U.S. Popular Vote), from 1992 to 2012—a replacement party would become established. There isn't anything meaningful to the names of these two parties, Republican and Democratic. They may as well be called Party A and Party B. In fact, I'd prefer to call them Business A and Business B. Their business is politics. Who their businesses serve first, in a political form, is wealth.
Talking up the Republicans becoming no longer viable in presidential elections isn't convincing when the candidate Democrats figure is so easily beatable, Donald Trump, is still in position to carry at least 20 of the 50 states. If Trump had no viability, he wouldn't be able to carry even 10 states. (That was the case with numerous who lost epic landslides.) Hillary Clinton is in position to win not even 30 states. (If she wins the U.S. Popular Vote between +7 and +10, she will likely carry Barack Obama's 2012 re-election map of 26 states, plus District of Columbia, and flip no more than three states—North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia (as well as the 2nd Congressional District in Nebraska)—which would bring her maximum to 29 states. That's not particularly grand.
The 2016 Democratic presidential primaries revealed plenty of problems just within the party. The WikiLeaks DNC e-mails exposed a lot of the corruption. (Which was being sensed anyway at least with concern for election irregularities and possible fraud.) I would suggest cleansing this party of a lot of their careerists, profiteers, and establishment cronies before they prematurely celebrate the supposed death of the Republican Party. I would suggest the Democratic Party bring an end to its "Big Tent" and become an ideologically left wing party on everything domestic and international. They are not there. They couldn't possibly be just by the fact that they nominated Hillary Clinton.
One thing the Republican Party has over the Democratic Party is that self-identifying Republicans moved to the position of being against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) before self-identifying Democrats. This is very important. It is a winnable position for the Republican Party—if they want to win back the presidency; and they do. And many think this nation's current Democratic president is going to succeed in pushing through the TPP—and that the nominee from the party, despite paying lip service to the contrary, supports it—and that would not bode well over the next four years. It shouldn't be a surprise that more of the working class are trending toward the Republicans.

I don't suppose you are aware of the history of the Republican party and how it was founded. If you were then you probably would understand that the current situation in the Republican party is not without precedent.
162 years ago it was the Whig party that became fractured. Possibly it is now time for similar change within the party that resulted from the failure of the Whig party.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.
