It turns out that one of the Grand Old Party’s biggest—and least discussed—challenges going into 2016 is lying in plain sight, written right into the party’s own nickname.

The Republican Party voter is old—and getting older, and as the adage goes, there are two certainties in life: Death and taxes. Right now, both are enemies of the GOP and they might want to worry more about the former than the latter.

There’s been much written about how millennials are becoming a reliable voting bloc for Democrats, but there’s been much less attention paid to one of the biggest get-out-the-vote challenges for the Republican Party heading into the next presidential election: Hundreds of thousands of their traditional core supporters won’t be able to turn out to vote at all. The party’s core is dying off by the day.

The GOP represents crony capitalists. That's its core. Those are the people who always get everything that want out of the GOP.

To get the votes and the seats to advance that agenda, the GOP has in contemporary times made allies with militarists and pro-life Christians, gun nuts and other so-called "conservative" causes.

The problem, though, is that crony capitalists in general are liberal rich people, so they WANT abortion rights, and gun control, and open borders, and they want government contracts but not full-on wars to victory that require tax hikes.

And, because the Republicans always do the bidding of the crony capitalists, who are really liberal on social issues, the result has been that the systematic betrayal of the Christian pro-lifers, the Borderbots, the gun nuts and the soldiery. Republicans only fight to the death for one thing: low taxes on the rich (and contracts for cronies). Everything else is negotiable.

Net result? The crony capitalists are intensely loyal to the GOP base, but others have left, stayed home, given up.

And it isn't as though Mexicans, or young people, or really, anybody, is flocking into the GOP.

It's time for a new party. Crony capitalism has a death grip on the Republican Party that cannot be, and will never be, pried loose.

People have two choices: form a new party, or satisfy themselves with Democrat rule.

I'm not satisfied with Democrat rule. I want to see a third party. But Republican rule is godawful and old people are stubborn. So we're going to get Hillary.

Oh well.

What are your thoughts on a constitutional convention?

I'm mildly in favor,for the same reason I favor Scottish independence: it will be entertaining.

I doubt anything good will come out of a convention, because the entrenched powers are too entrenched, so they'll just use the convention to further entrench and streamline.

But I'm prepared to be surprised.

A constitutional amendment that stated that life began at conception and (therefore) banned abortion outright would be good.

No, such an amendment would be bad, since it would attempt to give govt the power to issue and enforce a religious decree.

Juries are empowered to decide when murder has been committed. It's the American/constitutional way, and let's leave it that way..

Don't be a moron. It would stop murders. Anyone favoring abortion should be strung up.

Enforcing burglary is enforcing a religious decree.

Enforcing rape is enforcing a religious decree.

So according to your anything goes philosophy at least if you're consistent and you are not. You think rape should be legal because God said it was a sin.

You are wacked in the head. Did you get run over by a semi as a kid?

Women won't stop aborting unless you try to jail them all.

I don't favor it, -- or the hanging of women who do.

Enforcing burglary is enforcing a religious decree. --- Enforcing rape is enforcing a religious decree. --- So according to your anything goes philosophy at least if you're consistent and you are not. You think rape should be legal because God said it was a sin. -- You are wacked in the head. Did you get run over by a semi as a kid?

No, I don't think rape should be legal. Those who commit it, burglary or murder, should be tried by a jury. -- That's our constitutional way..

If you're going to have an environment encouraging catch as catch can free sex, you're going to need abortion to deal with the consequences and you are also going to develop an extensive population with a calloused attitude that doesn't care. People, including babies, become disposable.

The emergency contraception "morning after pill" is already reducing abortion rates and is likely to continue.

Some people consider this a chemical abortion as it makes a womb extremely unfriendly to any fertilized egg trying to attach itself. Much as the regular Pill dosage does but on steroids (literally). So a woman who isn't even on the Pill or has sex without a condom still has a very good chance of escaping pregnancy if she takes action the first thing on the morning after. And this is available at any pharmacy, pretty much no questions asked.

Morning After is changing the abortion scene and will continue to do so.
