The fact is, we have an historic number of representatives and governorships, we have re-taken the Senate, we have a monopoly on twice as many state legislatures, and, with the world economy going south, it is likely that we will have the tailwinds in the next election.
It is possible, not certain but possible, that we will see a Republican dominance of government in 2016 that is not only unprecedented, but unimaginable during my lifetime up to this point.
I wondering if the GOP just got played. All the tough bills have to be passed and everyone knows the party not in power gets elected at this juncture. Immigration, tax reform, a job bill and that darn pipeline (just as oil prices are falling) all have to be dealt with. I'm betting the President and the Democrats will sign off on everything Mitch sends up the flagpole as long as it has a GOP stamp on it.

The establishment Republicans have pretty much drowned the Tea Party in the bathtub. If the Tea Party's gone that does objectively mean the nation's moved to the left.
Wow, Democrats really ARE self delusional. The highlight-they didn't learn a thing in Tuesday's election, and will still treat the voting public like morons, and assume they also learned nothing since voting for Obama. Go ahead Dems, keep up your fascist, condescending, obstructionist, narcissistic approach of your Dear Leader. There are still plenty of turds to flush in '16.
As Dixie goes, so NOT does the nation. Expected Republican wins in Red states to control a lame duck Congress does NOT mean that the Republicans are not in a free fall. Pretending to be moderate doesn't change the stench of the ideology that gave us Bush. Over the next two years, we'll see what Republicans really are, and the failure to be like Dems, will spell suicide for the Pubs. The country is headed Left.
Warning! Entertainment value only. We really ought to quit feeding this.
