Trump Has A Choice: Lose Like Dukakis, or Like Goldwater

[Sistine Chapel]

If the Republican nominee is defeated in a landslide, the party may be powerless to influence Clinton's agenda and administration.

The difference between a Goldwater and Dukakis outcome is the difference between holding a Republican majority in at least one chamber of Congress and a down-ballot deluge that would open the way to a new bout of Democratic legislative activism.

For conservatives, it is the difference between mitigating the excesses of the Affordable Care Act and driving onward to government-run health insurance; between another burst of tax increases and the opportunity to bargain for tax cuts; between influence over Supreme Court appointments and being powerless as the justices are replaced; between outright amnesty for immigrants who are in the country illegally and stopping people from coming over U.S. borders.

Keep dreaming. The House will remain in the control of the same corrupt bunch of criminals that they are now.
