When you're addicted to something, you often need to hit "rock bottom," a place where the depths of your depravity and misery are so obvious that there is simply no choice but to move on to a different path. If the polls are right and Hillary Clinton becomes president of the United States, one might think that from a national political standpoint, the Republican Party will have hit rock bottom. It would mean that they lost the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections, a truly historic run.
