Yeah, and then promptly proceeded to blow it. Twice. First when they gave Obama his cronybus (couldn't do it fast enuf, lol) and then when they got another boner.

Oh, god, boehner and McConnell. Again.

Ah, but enuf to pee on someone's parade. Whether the lesser of two weevils is the winner, depends on what side you're on, I guess.

If you elect "evil" did you really "win"?

They do have a point about John Boehner and Mitch McConnell -- they have been in power now for 2 whole days and have not complete their DEMAND INSTANTLY list.
Aw heck, it's not necessary to elect Clinton or Warren, the republicans in power will happily deliver everything the Democrats want. Doing a swell job so far, too.

I doubt it. No elected official likes to lose their seat. I'm just saying what difference does it make when the opposing party will deliver what you want anyway.

Maybe both parties should consider what the people want a little more?

You are clearly missing the point.

"Romneycare" or not, you cannot believe he would be worse than Obama in any area, including healthcare.

Actually, one of the reasons Republicans did so well in the 2014 mid-terms is because they ran more credible, mainstream candidates rather than fringe Tea Partiers.

By all means - please nominate a conservative ideologue to oppose Hilary. It will be difficult for Republicans to beat her, regardless of who their candidate is. If their candidate is an arch conservative she'll win in a landslide.
