Since the Republican party will go the way of the Whigs(not Wiggs - the party of fast food and great hip hop is here to stay), will it be replaced in the future with a new name? Or will the growing Democratic Party end up splitting?
The Republicans do not have much going for them anymore. A dying, aging, shrinking demographic which now specializes in attacking and demonizing its opposition(although the Democrats do it soooooo much better). The only solid foundation they have are the white working class....an unprotected minority group that can be slandered and spat upon with impunity and without being at the alter of political correctness.
The Democrats have everything going for them. Once solid Red states (NC, Colorado) are now battleground states. Nowhere do you see Blue states going Red. The Dems have unquestionable huge majorities within academia, the media, entertainment industry, banking, unions(even if they are shrinking), the automotive industry, hispanics, blacks, the gays, Jews, and the filthy rich.
Capitalism, Reagan, Christianity, free enterprise, "start your own", colonialism, American exceptionalism are now dirty words.............Social ism, Marxism, Bolshevism, regulations, demilitarizing are uttered and pondered by college professors and many Americans would readily accept those forms of government.
The old stand-by of the Christian Right is represented again by a population that is turning more towards atheism rather than the church or temple.
