Marco Rubio is the only Republican with a chance of winning, and I say that if he can get enough Latinos out based on name alone but I think that only matters this election and this election only. Millenials are the Republicans worst nightmare. The problem for Republicans is on social issues they will time and time lose on at a national level. There will be a Democrat in office until the Republicans nominate someone pro-gay marriage and pro-choice. Beyond social issues student debt is the millenials biggest concern and the Republicans won't offer common sense solutions to lowering the cost of education because the conservative wing will label it socialist.
The Democrats can do whatever they want but I usually dislike liberal solutions to problems. It sucks but Hillary is moving back in the White House.

i think people on the other side greatly underestimate the pro-life movement and their fervor.
i can give or take a lot of movement on issues, but i cannot vote for a pro choice candidate. i hate to give credence that much to a single social issue but i feel that passionately about it and as much as you'd like to marginalize the evangelical base, they vote a lot. i could go into more detail, but i don't think a pro-choice republican could ever get out of the primaries. pro-gay? sure. drug legalizer? you bet.

I wouldn't agree with that. I think there are multiple Republicans who can win the general. Jeb Bush is one, John Kasich (although I don't think he can win the primary), perhaps Scott Walker.
The Republicans have been hijacked by Tea Party conservatives who have rolled social issues to the forefront of the party. They have alienated many social groups from supporting them.
I'm not sure the Dems run Hillary. I'd expect another candidate like Obama who came from nowhere to win the nomination.

Correct, but we are too stupid to realize it.

If we quit giving away free money thus artificially inflating the demand of college education, it would solve it. That's how real life works. I don't suppose that will qualify as a "common sense" approach.
