November 9th 2016 Newspaper Headlines?

I'm not that sure that Ryan, McConnell et al will be that quick to join the howling mob.  Trump has to an extent delegitimized the white lumpenproletariot.

Depends on a few things, I think:

1) How big was the margin of Trump's defeat, and how it affected down-ballot races. Clinton with a marginal victory vs a GOP controlled house and senate is a very different scenario than a Clinton landslide and a democrat controlled house and senate.
2) How safe are they from being primaried by the Trump-shirts.
3) How viable do they think continuing the 30-year vilification campaign against Clinton will be in obtaining significant gains in 2018.

Ryan is beloved in Wisconsin so I think he is pretty safe. Not sure how ready Kentuckians are to throw out Mitch though, though he would be running for re-election the same time as the incoming President and he would be almost 80 so this might be his last ride in any case.

[Hamilcar]

The nutballs will be coming in ever greater numbers left and right. I think Clinton will be the last mainstream candidate in awhile. It will be the election of Siege vs. Citizen K. I am not looking forward to it.

If the parties have an ounce of sense left in them, they'll tighten up the rules for the nomination process to make another Trump-style run impossible.

Closed primaries, earlier party registration deadlines, none of that would help.

Maybe a literacy test.

Ryan's not losing his seat, but the GOP caucus likes to eat its own leaders, and there have been open rumblings about trying to take down Ryan as Chairman.

[Valmy]

Oh well that's true. Ryan's leadership in the House is certainly precarious. I am not sure who would take over for him though.

Vote CK!



I promise a rubber chicken in every pot!

Ryan is safe in his home state Wisconsin but the split in the Republican party is a bit intense between the establishment and anti-establishment who are very unhappy with government going along as usual. So as part of the establishment he gets a lot of grief from the outsider type Republicans who have become a lot more vocal and visible.

What are your bets for what the newspaper headlines will be on November 9th,

(Not necessarily with the Charles Foster Kane by-line; although they could keep it in if Trump loses.  He does bear a resemblance to CFK.)  Anyhow since now both sides are accusing the other of cheating, it's only a question of whether that will appear in Pravda or The New York Times.
