But he’s not facing reality…..he doesn’t mention Obama Care til the seventh paragraph, and then only as a subset of the roll out being an approval rating problem for the Pres, as if it’s just another issue.

No situational awareness at all on his part….reached the right conclusion for the wrong reasons.

One thing I hope isn’t done by pubs anymore is to keep pivoting to walking across the aisle.

This is on giant mistake and the last two gop goobers running for president made that monumental mistake.

In spite of what the media says and the silly pundits say, people do not want to make nice with the current scum on the left. If people vote for them, they want this tyranny reversed, not appeased.

The left needs to be discredited and defeated. Lukewarm sissies are destined to lose.

Boldness and bravery will be what convinces people.

The party of stupid will not take the Senate ... because they dont want to. That would put congress at odds with the first black president ... and they would be blamed for the continued economic doldrums ...

They would rather the Dems keep the Senate and pin their hopes (pipe dream hopes) on the 2016 Presidential election.

The Republicans really could have won it all the last time around too.

Yes, they could have but Republicans on purpose chose a candidate that they knew from historical data could never win.

Beyond all the screwy voter fraud republicans chose a liberal, tax loving, gun hating, gov. health care nut, pro-abortion candidate from the NORTHEAST.

Through historical data Republicans know their base sits on their behinds at home for such a candidate...show me one Northeastern liberal who has won the presidency for the Republicans?

The real question is what the agenda is behind closed doors of our so called republican leaders.

It’s up to Conservatives to organize, including veterans all over the country, to ensure that RATs and RINOs are sent packing. Expose them all! Start with the primaries. Find candidates NOW who have the spine and guts to tell the American people the truth about the corruption in DC and expose the RATs and RINOs publicly. Name names and provide proof of their duplicity.

Climb in their sewer and fight them to win.

Heres vfond dream of mine.

The republicans take the Senate and increase their hold on the House. A revolt in the House replaces the Speaker with an actual conservative.

The House prepares articles of Impeachment for Obama and Biden. The Senate convenes a trial, convicts both and the Speaker becomes President.

A Republican sweep? If the Republicans are Tea Party canidates, I’d say Great. If it is a RINO sweep, I’d say the same old crap is in charge.

Agreed...see my tag line. I'm done voting for those that will put this frog (me) into a pot of water, and gradually raise the temperature to a boil. That's Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, John Cornyn, and the rest of GOPe.

I've got news for the Chamber of Commerce: you're pi$$ing me off...if you're going to fight me (the Tea Party), I'll vote Democrat to bring the whole thing crashing down. I want to give my kids and grandson a fighting chance to rebuild the American dream. Won't happen by a slow descent to Detroit-like conditions.

“The Democrats lost no Senate seats and actually picked up a few in the House in 1998, President Bill Clinton’s second midterm.”

Perhaps there was no change in numbers, but this was the election that Republican Peter Fitzgerald defeated Senator Carol Mosley Braun (R-Illinois).

I agree 100%.

However the GOP needs to be for American jobs.

American jobs. Hire American, and bring back US jobs.

The GOP will lose by attacking their base.

Well now that it looks like they might take back the Senate they have panicked and are going to pass amnesty and cut the veteran’s benefits. God forbid they actually take power and have to accomplish something.
