Barone: A Clinton Loss Could Be Devastating

Writing in The New York Post, the always interesting Michael Barone hints at an intriguing-to-conservatives prediction, in the event of a Hillary loss in November.
It’s possible that a post-2016 Democratic Party could look like Britain’s Labor Party, which has abandoned the New Labor posture of Tony Blair that produced three landslide victories in 1997, 2001 and 2005. Now, under far-left-wing leader Jeremy Corbyn, the party seems headed for landslide defeat in 2020.
The Labor Party has evolved (retreated?) from a political party to a movement, with a movement's typical firebrand leader - Corbyn. In the short-to-medium run they have no chance of electing a U.K. government. What a gas if the Democrats did that same evolution here.
