The GOP majority could get wiped out in November

The GOP majority could get wiped out in November
By John Podhoretz August 9, 2016

Three months before the election, the news is pretty much all bad for Republicans — so bad, in fact, that the question it raises is whether November is going to see a Democratic wave that not only washes Hillary Clinton into the White House but also secures majorities for Democrats in the Senate and even in the House of Representatives.

Clinton’s steady rise in the polls since the Democratic convention has solidified into a 7.5-point lead in the Real Clear Politics average — twice the margin enjoyed by Barack Obama over John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012 at roughly the same point in the cycle.

Her lead at the moment isn’t even remotely debatable.

The whigs were "wiped out" by the GOP. The question to me is what rises out of the ashes of the GOP?

but I'm not going to get to excited about it until it actually happens. I know stuff like this has been predicted in the past and it didn't play out as predicted.
