would be for 45 to win the election. The country is on the verge of a total economic collapse. When it happens, the party of whoever is in charge will take a huge hit. In fact they will probably disappear forever. Like the Whigs.
Republicans should be praying for Harris to win.

So can you explain why this thread was not titled..”The worst thing that could happen to Democrats right now would be for Harris to win.”

..and that “Democrats should be praying for Trump to win.”

Now you can answer my other question..


“So can you explain why this thread was not titled..”The worst thing that could happen to Democrats right now would be for Harris to win.”

..and that “Democrats should be praying for Trump to win.”

Americans are basically economic illiterates. And that, I believe, is intentional. They are taught the bare minimum. Those that study economics in college "business school" are taught to trust only what the govt. dictates.

Proper free market economics is called the "Austrian School". The primary economist was Ludwick von Mises, an Austrian. The primary American economist was Murray Rothbard. Any
"economist" that doesn't connect with one or both of these people is a govt stodge.

How could anyone possibly think that if the Republicans can't win this election that they have any chance of winning one in the future?

Trump will win, but your premise is silly.

Just like they did before. Start a new party and all join it. Abraham Lincoln was a Whig once.

All of us here are old enough to remember when both parties, from time to time, were on their death beds, the brink of extinction, dead as Whigs, yet here they both still are.
