Republicans would like the country to believe that they took control of the Senate on Tuesday by advocating a strong, appealing agenda of job creation, tax reform and spending cuts. But, in reality, they did nothing of the sort.
Even the voters who supported Republican candidates would have a hard time explaining what their choices are going to do. That’s because virtually every Republican candidate campaigned on only one thing: what they called the failure of President Obama. In speech after speech, ad after ad, they relentlessly linked their Democratic opponent to the president and vowed that they would put an end to everything they say the public hates about his administration.
..... (snip)
The most important promises that winning Republicans made were negative in nature. They will repeal health care reform. They will roll back new regulations on banks and Wall Street. They will stop the Obama administration’s plans to curb coal emissions and reform immigration and invest in education.

Ridiculous as this sounds, Obama one up it on the ridiculous scale: Obama: It's the Map's Fault
Can you believe this %$^&#? Sadly I can.
No, it didn't.
after 8 years of democrat positivity
LOL!
Waaaaaah. Whine, cry. LOSERS,
What cratered the dems this time around as much as anything was their own dear leader, Obama, when he stated how "he may not be on the ballot, but his policies are".
This foolish hubris hung itself around the dem's necks like a millstone.
I hate to be crude, but...
FUNYT
When an abused spouse finally ends the marriage, that’s negative?
NYT does have a point. We all know Republicans running for Senate never articulated a clear “positive” agenda for what they will do. Part of this is usual problem of the media failing to report the “positive” measures that Reid had killed in the Senate.
However, when a president is actively overstepping his powers and also trying to implement policies that are destroying the country, the Congress’ job is to OPPOSE. Let’s hope they fulfill this promise.
Brace yourselves boys and girls for an onslaught of articles and commentaries designed to tell us that last night’s results didn’t mean what they meant.
From the people who wanted to cancel silly things like “elections”...
The NYT editorial board staff inhabit a rather special world in which nobody votes Republican and nobody knows anybody who has ever voted Republican.
No wonder they get it wrong, this time & always.
The atmosphere in Starbucks parlors across the nation is especially gloomy today. Defiant baristas are wearing their best Che Guevara T-shirts.
People being fed up with liberal rule won the Senate. Nothing was more negative than democratic elected officials inciting and trying to reenact 60s style race riots. Hey NY Times, it doesn’t get any lower or more negative than that.
Once again, the NYT illustrates that with liberals its always someone else’s fault. They never accept any responsibility for their own failures. This response is 100% predictable.
This election was all about rejection and repudiation. People simply don’t want what Obama and the Democrats are selling. They experienced it for six years and concluded it doesn’t work.
Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes to me from NYT.
and how this “paves the way” for Hillary to cruise to the WH
