Be cautious.
Romney seemed to be winning in 2012 until the BIG Christie hug of Obama.
Elections can turn on a dime, based on current events.
Then, there was the Republican take over of the Senate that was projected for 2012 — and didn’t materialize.
Monkeys could fly out of my butt.
Not if the Republican Party has anything to do with it!
“Be cautious.”
Oh, believe me, I’m not naïve.
Never overlook the GOPs ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
If by some miracle the Republicans do take control of the senate, they could lie down to the Obama administration just like the House.
And turn around and lose 5 or 6 in 2016. Either way I don’t have a lot of faith in their doing anything with the Senate even if they get it.
Passion is appealing. Dems are commited to their cause, wrong as it is. The general public finds that commitment appealing.
That same public finds little commitment or passion in the gop.
Yeah right. With leaders like McConnell and Cornyn betraying voters and pushing amnesty, I doubt we’ll win more than a couple.
So what if they do? They sure don’t represent me.
I agree with you, but I also think it allows the democrat candidate in 2016 to run against the congress. Didn’t Clinton do that for his second term? The pubs had both House and Senate. (My memory could be faulty on that one.)
In any case, my sense is that Janet Yellen will decide when to rush the gentle landing from QE, thereby crashing the economy, if the repubs take the Congress and appear poised to win the presidency in 2016.
If by some miracle the Republicans do take control of the senate, they could lie down to the Obama administration just like the House.
Of course. GOP no longer means "Grand Old Party". It now stands for "Give Obama Power". With Boehner running the House and McConnell running the Senate, Obama will have everything he needs: a docile, puppy dog Congress and a whole branch of government to lay blame.
>> The Republican Party is generally less popular than either President Barack Obama or the Democratic Party, according to the Journal.
Republican’ts, Democraps, Administration are running roughly equal in my esteem. Which is to say, they’re way below diarrhea, slightly below Ebola virus, and just a teensy bit better than ISIS and Hamas.
I live in MA, I get to look forward to voting for a RINO for gov and not expecting him to win and nothing else.
whoopee.....
At least out of all of the moonbat reps in this state I at least have Lynch representing me.
could be worse.
Winning 10 Senate seats would be very laudable but would amount to no improvement for the country if the RINOs are not muzzled.
You must live close by me in Quincy. Lynch is my rep too.
How about we win 8..let McConnell and Cochran lose..
I’m hoping the republicans take the Senate but McConnell, Cochran and Graham lose. A bonus would be for Lamar to lose his primary.
