What Happens to the Democratic Party if Clinton Loses?

Michael Barone / Townhall Columnist

 

There's been lots of speculation about the fate of the Republican Party if (as most of the prognosticators expect and hope) Donald Trump loses. There's been less speculation, though recent polling suggests it may be in order, about the fate of the Democratic Party if Hillary Clinton loses. 

 

Certainly there's reason to think -- or fear -- that the Republican Party will change. Republicans likely won't supply the bulk of support for free trade agreements as they increasingly have for 40 years. Prominent Republicans probably won't press for mass legalization of illegal immigrants, as they did in 2006, 2007 and 2013.

If Trump loses, the Republican electorate will have become more downscale and elderly -- a continuation of a process that's been in train since the middle 1990s. The long-term migration of voters southward along Interstate 95 will have made the East Coast just about as solidly Democratic as the West Coast, leaving a Republican rump in the interior South and the Great Plains.

Anti-Trump Republicans hope the Trump effect will just go away, and will note that a defeated Trump will not leave behind much in the nature of an institutional apparatus, as the defeated Barry Goldwater arguably did in 1964. But the argument for going back to pre-Trump positions is weakened by the fact that Republicans have lost four of the six presidential elections between 1992 and 2012.

NYC jihad bomber was flagged twice in 2014, but passed scrutiny
By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

He passed scrutiny because the FBI and other agencies have no idea what they’re looking for. And that is because on October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates delivered a letter to John Brennan, who was then the assistant to the president on National Security for Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism. The letter was signed by […]

Israeli Acting National Security Advisor Jacob Nagel (L) and U.S. Undersecretary of State Tom Shannon are seen signing a new ten-year pact on security assistance between the two nations at the State Department in Washington, Sept. 14, 2016.

New US-Israel Agreement Comes with Tough Conditions

Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC)   The US and Israel have agreed to a new 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which will provide Israel with $38 billion in foreign aid for Israel for defense spending. (Non-military aid to Israel ended in 2007.) There are two big changes in this MOU, one having to do with Israel’s defense sector and one having to do with missile defense. In the previous MOU, Israel could spend just over a quarter of American defense aid at home. That is being phased out in the new agreement and Israel will eventually have to spend all of the US aid in the US. This will cost Israeli defense companies up to $10 billion in sales of drones, missiles, tanks, and other equipment, according to Reuters.

Kudos to BiBi as He Slams the U.N.
Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor

Kudos go out to to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for yesterday's speech before the U.N. (the Usless Nations) where he not only spoke the truth but threw it in their islamic-condoning face.

"The U.N. started as a moral force and has become a moral farce."

Additional Noteworthy Quotes:
"Governments are changing their attitudes towards Israel because they know that Israel can help them protect their peoples, can help them feed them, can help them better their lives."

"I believe the day is not far off when Israel will be able to rely on many, many countries to stand with us at the UN. Slowly but surely, the days when UN ambassadors reflexively condemn Israel, those days are coming to an end."

"The greatest threat to my country, to our region, and ultimately to our world remains the militant Islamic regime of Iran."

“We will not accept any attempt by the UN to dictate terms to Israel. The road to peace runs through Jerusalem and Ramallah, not through New York.” - See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2016/09/un-video-netanyahu-tells-un-you-began-as-a-moral-force-and-have-become-a-moral-farce.html/#sthash.4yg0Si5N.dpuf
