What you didn't notice was the youthfulness that was voted into the Republican Party. Republicans see the change needed, while Dems are relying on the same ole' lines....."abortion and war on women"....... the left won't get far with just these issues.
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.
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.
Did you not watch the press conference of The One yesterday? He said he would "consider" all bills sent to him, but pass only those that agreed with his current policies. The same policies that just got him a butt whipping across the nation. I'm betting that he is already looking around to find who to blame when he just "has" to veto all those bills.
Perhaps it is conservatives licking their wounds. It reminds me of how Kareem Jabar would reprimand a young Magic Johnson when he would over celebrate after they won a game.
After the last six years of a President who they thought would never get elected even once, the Tea Party’s errant stroll down an inconsequential path and now after what by any stretch of the imagination is a normal and expected run of the mill performance by the electorate, what do they have to celebrate, the loss of six years?
The bills that the American people will expect to be passed will have to be so full of pork their intent will be hardly noticeable. The challenge for those in control is will the American people feel the effect of a; jobs bill, trade bill, immigration reform, tax reform. No more fake votes to repeal the ACA, collecting a check and calling it a day.
Actually, now the electorate will see who it is who has the ideas and who it is killing those ideas.

We will now see who the true obstructionist is.
It's all part of the dance, you know it's all just a farce?
Oregon voters, very left, very radical, rejected giving illegals a driver's license.
As one of those Oregon voters, I can tell you-being very left doesnt mean we believe illegal immigration is OK. Im not sure why democrat representative think this to be honest, I suspect the majority of their base is against it, the only thing I can think of is that business interests are involved.
