Demographics is pre-ordained destiny--- so saith our Lords and Masters

Another observation about the post election spin: With respect to that this wasn't a loss due to demographics--- there's a different point of view:
The Republican Party is on the losing side in demographic battles. ... Republicans fought for the demographic victory of the Democrats and succeeded. With two parties united in fighting for the interests of the Democrat politicians it is not surprising that together the Republicans and Democrats delivered the Democrats a resounding demographic victory.  [ emphasis added]

Now Boehner is saying that an immigration deal is possible.  The GOP is a sell-out party.

Conclusion:  There's little reason to expect that the Republicans will offer meaningful resistance to the Democrats on immigration, or anything else for that matter.  It's all been pre-ordained from the start.  Run an election based upon the economy, but deliver action on immigration instead.  Immigration wasn't even an election issue.

Update:

The word that best describes the Republicans is Stooges.  How can you explain a candidate like Romney who ran on an issue that most people said they cared about and couldn't turn out the vote of people who may have voted for him?
