If and when Obama wins the Republicans will implode

[sandyshoes17]

I've been thinking. they are throwing all they have at this. Money, lots of money, Karl Rove said a billion dollars will be spent at the end. And thats not including the house and senate seats. Money is flowing strong. Than there is the cheating and disenfranchising of voters and all the other nasty tricks. If they lose, and I will fight with everything I have for Obama, they will lose their minds.
These people who put up this money will be pissed, the people who are expecting the cheaters to come thru will be pissed, the tea party will be more pissed (but that's expected), the average republican voter will give up, they will destroy each other. Those people don't spend that kind of money and receive nothing in return. Romney will be out of politics for good, they will blame him and the republicans.
And I think Obama should come in with both barrels, he has a mandate. I even think they would give up citizens united at that point.They say a second term is a lame duck, but not this time. Obama can push all he wants thru, they will be in shock and the infighting will be so bad. He needs to step on the gas and run them right over.
This election is so important in so many ways. If they win we all lose, if we win, we all win. Its over for them. I think they know this and that's why they are giving there all.
Just my opinion.

1. A preview will be available late Tuesday evening.

4. I agree

We will see, I hope the people win. This is a fight between us, the people, and them. The money. I hope we win. It is more important than most people think.

2. Watch this convention carefully

If I'm right, the seeds of bitter resentment will be sown this year and 2016 will be the year they will have a great deal of trouble fielding a national candidate, even with another Bush waiting in the wings. This is how both the Federalist Party and the Whig Party went out, although they sputtered on for a few decades as regional parties.

3. I don't think so, but you will see a determined effort of the establishment GOP

to wrest control from the Tea Party idiots and focus on 2016.

5. Oh I hope so, but somehow they always come back.

They came back after Goldwater and they will rear their ugly heads again in 2016.

6. You are right. I have been around a while, and have seen

this sort of prediction time and time again; "This or that election or debacle will be the end of the Republican/Democrats", etc. It never happens. With no viable alternative, the two-party system will continue as always. The parties feed on each other. They each need an arch-enemy to keep their supporters riled up. Overall, nothing will change substantially. Ever.

7. No, they'll just analyze their failure

and try to do a better job of stealing the White House four years later.

8. But their analysis will lead to the conclusion...

... That they didn't go far enough to the right with their candidates. No next time around their stable will be even nuttier.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. Nuttier would be good

That would repel the voters. (Well, so I tend to hope.)

I worry that they'll focus on even more corruption and vote suppression.
