New Year’s 2015: Last Year Was The Year Of Dave Brat, This Has Been The Year Of Trump (But GOP Is Still Not Getting It)

Last year, I headed our New Year’s Roundup 2014 Was The Year Of Dave Brat.

2014 Losers: Eric Cantor and Conservatism, Inc. 2014 Winners: Dave Brat, and National Conservatism

The defeat of the House Majority Leader by an unfunded local economics professor over the Amnesty issue should have been a wake-up call for the GOP. However, a lot of things should have been a wake-up call for the GOP over the years. Some of these people seem immune to wake-up calls.

Pat Buchanan was writing Are More “Thumpings” Needed? after the Bush GOP lost the midterms in 2006. You might also check out Voters To G.O.P.: We’re Just Not That Into Immigrants, and Voters Are Giving You One More Chance, GOP, by Ann Coulter.

So the Beltway Right may never wake up — but like Cantor, they may find themselves replaced. And 2015 may not be the only year of Donald Trump — if the votes of white working-class Democrats are added to the votes of white working-class Republicans, then 2016-2020 will be the years of Donald Trump, too.

Happy New Year to all Our Readers!
