If the Democrats lose this election, they really need to just stop trying.
Based on their past presidential election track records, I'd give it a 50-50 chance.

If I were advising Republicans (why would I do that?), I would suggest that relying on Democratic incompetence is an incompetent plan in and of itself.
Waiting for the Democrats to fumble the ball is a losing strategy for Republicans. Their problem is their brand image.....culturally conservative, belligerent/aggressive pro-war foreign policy, big oil/anti-environment, and tax cuts for the wealthiest.
That brand is no longer attracting Independents and you cant win at the Congressional or Presidential level without Independents.

In addition to Independents, the future of both parties is in the hands of the younger voters.
In a recent survey of 18-29 yr olds,
the opinions that Democrats wll do a better job than Republicans is even more pronounced than in the general voters survey I posted above.
To my Republican friends and colleagues ...keep relying on that tired old GOP brand for a comeback.
