This is actually false
http://history.house.gov/Institution/Party-Divisions/Party-Divisions/
Start at 1933 and then go to the 90s. Democrats always win on the issues. Republicans win by appealing to the lowest common denominator. The strategy has worked well for them but has pigeon holed them into the rural obstructionists. They have no other options now.
Not that I think that American political parties really represent divergent views of what society should be. But where I come from conservative means upholding the status quo. And after taking a basic western history class you should know it isn't a compliment.....

Nope. Fiscal conservatives will always exist. Politics in general has become a joke, not just the Republicans

I'm not saying that EVERY person follows the crowd, but I've seen it first hand. I live in what was a very conservative town, but after G bush came and fucked our economy, our town switched views and voted democratic as far as majority goes which was a big change. It really does just go in waves. If it didn't, then both parties wouldn't exist, it would just be a democratic president every term. But both parties rely solely on the previous party fucking up and upsetting a major group of people, which makes the party in power have to change as much as they can while making it seem like as little as possible was changed so as to not upset a big group of people that can swing the next election for them. Politics isn't about politics any more, it's like 2 sheep herders both trying to heard the big group into their fences. If one makes a sudden move and scares a few sheep, they could run off, scaring more sheep into running off and into the other Sheppard's gate and just like that, a new political party owns the majority.

They certainly don't happen like you're describing as even close to a rule
The congressman and senators who have held public office in the same districts for decades can attest to that..................

Yes, the Republican party is losing support as they get more and more extreme. You can't rationally support a party whose has members that straight up deny science. The problem with this is that the only real option left if the Democratic party, which I view as better, but not quite the answer. They are free to overspend on more and more programs as Republicans lose support since they can justify it by saying that the people wanted them in power. I'm very concerned for the future of US politics.

I do, you can afford it. You did well, now give back. That's what I mentioned earlier. A culture of selfishness and greed

How much do you give?
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

We aren't talking a few single congressmen and senators, we are talking political parties in power, which is not the same thing. Go look at a list of presidents by political affiliation, since the 50s it has literally switched back and forth every 4-16 years and I can guarantee that within the next 10 years the majority will be back in favor of the republicans.

While I'd not even try to predict a time frame, the basic premise is correct.
Those who are foolish enough to state one party or the other will never be in power again will be greatly disappointed.
