Don't Tell Me it Can't Be Done!

"America has been here before."

1964, 1977 and 1993 - in each of these years, Republicans were gleefully pronounced dead by the news media. But in each case, they came back.
"On Inauguration Day 1977, Carter's Popularity Was Higher Than Obama's."
1964 was followed by 1965, in which Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California.
Two years later we began a 40-year period in which no overt liberal won the presidency.

"In 1977, Jimmy Carter's popularity on inauguration day was higher than Barack Obama's." But in 1980, Ronald Reagan won a decisive victory and changed the course of America.
"In 1993, they said Bill Clinton was creating a new, stronger Democratic Party."
In 1994, the Democratic Party suffered its worst defeat in 40 years.

"So don't tell me it can't be done."
