when the Republican Party base as we know it should be buried in the ash heap of history. Change in the GOP is inevitable if we are to have a legitimate opposition party in America and a legitimate political conversation in the future. Otherwise, the democrats will run this country with unilateral power, and that will not be a good thing. For the GOP it's change or be displaced. The Trump candidacy has been a total joke and the GOP may never recover. This election today will be a landslide, a blood bath. Don't believe the media hype about close polls. They just want you tuning in to their channel today.
With that said, Trump supporters are right - America has moved on and left them behind. Their voices are indeed not being heard. But it's not because of who they are, it is because of what those voices are saying. Listen to what they are saying and ask yourself this - does anyone really care? Is this really the conversation we want to have? The democrats are playing chess while the GOP is playing checkers.
Today will be a victory for the liberal world view and the American liberal vision of life. It is indeed great that the glass ceiling has been broken and women and girls across this country (and the world) can finally see someone like them in power. However, we are looking at eight years of Hillary and sixteen straight years of democratic rule. Why? Because the GOP chose to have the wrong conversation, again and again. They chose to make this election about childish antics, school yard name calling, building walls, mocking disabled reporters, and grabbing pussies. Oh, they didn't choose that you say? What did they think Trump was going to to do? They traded this election for a few locker room high fives. Great move. You had a chance to elect a decent and good man in Mitt Romney, but wouldn't turn out to vote. But now voters are inspired by Trump? Ask yourself what that says, because it speaks volumes.
America needs a party that will function as a legitimate opposition party to the one in power. The GOP has dropped the ball and no third party is remotely ready to pick it up. The GOP has eight years to fix this. Will they? Unlikely, IMO.
