Some people see:
1. The percentage of people in the work force declining to some of the lowest levels in history
2. Increased numbers of illegals crossing the borders
3. A debt ceiling that is increased practically every year
4. A record number of people on disability
5. Corporations being "too big" to fail
6. Cities going into bankruptsy due to bloated budgets
And they feel nothing should change.
Over sixty percent of Americans have said in poll after poll, that they think the country is headed in the wrong direction, and the US Congress has one of its lowest approvals ever, and still our politicians want to stay this course?
Didn't you know, primary run-off elections for multi-term US senator is the norm, and so is winning them with the votes from democrat voters.
Look at post #28. But in the case of Eric Cantor, he lost by far more than a Democrat ballot stuffing could accomplish. What was it 12 points? I could see 2-3-4 points, but not 12. This was clearly a statement by Republicans.
So if multi-term incumbent senate politicians cannot be defeated it's a sign that this national political movement is a failure? The man was forced into a run off election, and needed democrat votes to win, I'd say it was a partial success, and it shows how weak Cochran was as a candidate.
Meanwhile, the majority leader in the US House was defeated, and other incumbent Republican barely won their races against complete unknowns, but let's ignore that as well.
LOL! W only won 271 ECs in 2000, but he was the POTUS. A win is a win, a loss is a loss. A few weeks from now, no one will even remember McDaniel.
Oh no the Tea Party lost in a race where Democrats who will never vote Rep in the General election crossed over!
?
The TP has been losing all through primary season, with very few wins.
