Carson is way way more insane than Trump.

Carson is way way more insane than Trump.

But he's so nice and well-spoken.

I doubt the GOP will ever win an election again.

I doubt the GOP will ever win an election again.

In 1924 the Democrats won only 28.8% of the national vote and won only the eleven former confederate states and Oklahoma. Eight years later they went on to capture 57.4% of the vote and won 42 states. Things can change quickly.

I don't think the two scenarios are comparable. The only way the GOP can come back into the light is if they moved closer to the center. I don't think they're ever going to win with the extreme conservative platforms they seem to favor. Moderate Republicans are quickly identified and lambasted as RINOs or communists/socialists, etc. The GOP has gone nuts. Mitt Romney was their best option. He is truly one of the last of a dying breed of Republican.

only the eleven former confederate states and Oklahoma.

The democrats carried eleven of the thirteen confederate states, and Oklahoma.

Their candidate 8 years later was actually a good candidate though, and not 1. batshit insane, 2. petulant manchild, 3. empty corporate suit, or 4. Donald Trump.

Election maps were far more fluid back then, so your example doesn't apply to today (not that I disagree with your conclusion).

How are Jaron's kids all so pale?

Democrat vote was split in 24 - also they ran a horse's ass.  The 28 election was really even more lopsided - Smith lost his own state and a chunk of the old confederacy also defected to Hoover for good measure.

[Legbiter]

We are at a place where the "Trump" is possible not because he is a real candidate, but because the real candidates are so fucking transparently fake.

Well as you say, at least Trump sounds authentic.

You are silly, Syt. Those are FLDS. They hardly represent the modern sect.
