Independent means conservative. A conservative party is never going to rise until they get on board with social issues with liberals. The people of this country are changing their views on social issues, and it isn't a move to the right, it's a move left. Hence, the slow death of any conservative leaning party.

As much as you would like to see it, the conservatives are going nowhere. Yes, Obama has the presidency right now, but if the people of this country are changing on social issues, why have all these conservatives been elected in various states that have led to some of the most strict abortion laws being passed in years? The democrats do not have a big lead in the senate, and the republicans recently swept the house and still hold a big lead.

Realistically, the conservatives are going to win some and the liberals will win theirs from time to time. But to say that one party is going to have a slow death is extreme.
