ROGER SIMON: Election 2020 May Never End.
The Democrats and the Republicans had switched roles.
The Republicans had become the party of the working class. The Democrats were now the party of elites and quasi socialists who rely on identity politics for victory.
Trump, however, had stayed in the race in part by garnering new support from Hispanics and blacks, groups that had perpetually turned their backs on the GOP.
That further meant whatever happens in 2020, the Democrats may have problems ahead because those Hispanics in particular and blacks, to a lesser degree, were indeed starting to leave the fold after decades.
For this the Republican Party has Trump to thank.
But what will they do if Trump finally loses, as now seems quite possible? Will the GOP cast The Donald aside and go back to its brahman past under the leadership of the Never Trumpers? Or would a new generation rise to follow in The Donald’s footsteps?
Or would Trump himself come back to run in 2024? Who would put it past him?
Nevertheless, with all the uncertainty there is some good news most everybody, the majority anyway, should be happy about—so far, nobody’s rioting.
The month is young, alas.
