9. The new Republican Party will never nominate him. Ever.

If the republicans get totally rolled in this election, which is possible but not certain, they will not change. Regardless of what the ‘political experts’ say. They will double down. Tom Cotton is my guess.

As the country grows more diverse and more importantly, secular, it only makes sense that the republicans would ditch their racist, nativist message they took on in the 70’s and return to their pro-rich and business roots and abandon the social bullshit. But they can’t. Because a majority of their party now sees politics as a God thing. 40-50% of their base thinks you can’t be a Christian and a democrat. They will not allow the party to moderate.

If we do well in November I see no way forward for them.

And they know this which is why they are trying to undo democracy in the nation. Under a true democracy they are sunk.
