The Republican party is not doomed (cont’d)

So says a second liberal blogger Kevin Drum of motherjones.com, in a short blogpost that is full of common sense. Excerpt:

“Republicans control the House, and no one seems to think that’s going to change in the near future. (And no, it’s not just because of gerrymandering.) On the other side of Capitol Hill, Democrats seem genuinely concerned about holding onto the Senate next year. As for the White House, Republicans have only lost two presidential elections in a row, both times in years where the fundamentals favored Democrats. And they continue to hold outsize majorities in state legislatures and governor’s mansions.
