Will the Republican Party die in 2020? Of course, there will always be a Republican Party in a technical sense. I mean is 2020 the year the Republicans become America's permanent minority party, incapable -- or nearly incapable -- of winning the House, the Senate, or the Presidency?
The famous Democratic pollster, Stanley Greenberg, believes he has amassed evidence showing that 2020 will be another Blue Wave year. He thinks the Democrats will take the House, the Senate, and the Presidency in a landslide.
Now, of course, Trumpettes are saying just the opposite. They are saying Trump will win and the Republicans will keep the Senate and regain the House.
But on what grounds are they saying such things?
Trumpettes are by and large contemptuous of the sciences and instead much more often than not base their beliefs on their gut feelings, their emotions, and their "vast personal experience" -- and they are downright proud of their disdain for polling and other scientific measures.
Scientific evidence versus gut feelings. I guess 2020 will show which are better predictors of the truth.
