doesn't California have a 3-day buyer's remorse thing? I recall something like that from when I bought my car a few years ago. I thought it was specifically for these cases where you get home and realize you didn't get what you wanted.

I thought about that too because they told me something like that last time I bought a car but it looks like you have to pay extra for it at least in CA http://www.californiaconsumerattorneys.com/cooling-off-periods-and-the-10-day-rule/

they probably waive the cost or charge .01 if your credit is good and/or you're buying a really nice car just to look magnanimous

honestly it's entirely possible for them to win for a few more decades but the demographic shift will eventually kill them at the national level unless they heavily restructure and change a lot of their messaging and lol if they'll ever confront that reality. they'll continue to control far too many state-level governments for a long time, though.

gerrymandering and vote suppression work great at a local level.

the GOP might have secured that permanent majority.

gerrymandering and vote suppression won't buy you a presidency.

the democrats have 239 out of the needed 270 electoral votes right out the gate. a democratic candidate can carry just one swing state and win an election

a republican candidate has to take every swing state.

and the forces driving the domination of democrats at the presidential level (ongoing demographic shifts and the de-whitening of america) are going to continue getting stronger for the next several decades

seriously, take a look at a map (270towin.com is a good one) and show me which combination of states going blue to red will give a republican candidate the white house going forward, especially as (liberal) millenials enter the voting pool and horrible old white boomers die off in droves

shame about the house and (especially) the senate though...
