In 2016, the LIVs will believe it is safe to vote Democrat again.
Clinton signed the Welfare reform bill the third time it landed on his desk, the first time with a veto-proof majority behind its flight to his office.
He complained that it wasn’t good. After it worked, he took credit for it.
Clinton is far smarter than Obama, whose directions come from a staff while he plays golf.
Of course they’ll play politics with a majority. That’s what they do. The key is in the Republican’s response.
Then a few weeks later, the Oklahoma City bombing occurred.
If it had not been for the Oklahoma City bombing, Clinton would have been a one term president. But, he knew how to milk a tragedy.
I have a feeling they will...by shifting further left to avoid criticism and appear they are working with 0bama on "fixing" the country.
Moreover, a Republican Senate victory will prove to the big goverment loving RINOcrats that they don't need the conservative base, on whom they have declared outright WAR, so you can forget about them becoming more conservative anytime soon -- not that we have any more time to wait.
You think it's crazy to say that Republicans intend to pass the Democrat agenda? Consider that:
The Republican leadership is lowering expectations about what they'll do if they take the Senate in 2014.
John McCain is already promising to restore the filibuster and promising to expedite approval of Obama's nominees “I will work very hard to go back to 60 votes,” said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boldly predicts a Republican Senate would process Obama’s nominees “more rapidly than [Democrats] do today.”
And as for the House: John Boehner: ‘Very Few’ Republicans Will Oppose Me
Oh, and best of all, now Republicans are promising that a Senate takeover will increase the odds of passing immigration reform. Republicans: Immigration reform is more likely to happen if we take the Senate
Well at least the Republicans will repeal Obamacare. Oh wait, they won't.
The only SLIM chance we have to save our country at this point is to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the GOPs "moderate" agenda is doomed to fail at the polls.
Only then will we have a chance of having a true conservative Presidential nominee in 2016, and the utter collapse of Democrat credibility after two more years of their control of the Senate.
It is terrible to consider two more years of Democrat Senate Control, but no less terrible to consider the result of GOPe control.
I don’t expect much, really. I am hoping that McConnell grows enough balls to stop any SC nomination resulting from that crazy RBG’s dementia forcing her to retire. Stop it, just stop it until adults are in charge. I’d rather see a completely deadlocked SC for two years than one with the Wise Sista Former Welfare Queen Obola will nominate to replace her.
Face one incontrovertible fact. Obama can do pretty much as he damn well pleases unless there are 67 sure votes to impeach in the Senate. Unless there are several Democrats willing to throw him under his own bus nothing can stop him from ruling as a dictator. It may be the one flaw in the Constitution that he found and he is exploiting it for all its worth.
If the Republicans win the Senate. Nothing will change much from what we have right now. The only difference is legislation will die at the president’s desk, rather than Harry Reid’s. 0-Tard will continue to use his “Pen and Phone”, and the next two years will be nearly identical to the previous four. I guess the GOP will have their precious committee chairmanships. I believe they want that more than anything else. That’s how they pay back their big donors. The president won’t have a rubber stamp on Senate confirmations, which could make judicial appointments problematic.
If the Republicans DO take the Senate, I’d expect Justice Ginsburg to retire before the end of the year; or is it already too late for that? I suppose Reid and the Senate Judiciary committee could move on the nomination during the lame duck session, or whenever they want to, before the next Congress is sworn in.
The only way anything will truly change is if the Republicans get enough Senators to override a Veto(VERY unlikely). THEN, things could get interesting.
Forgive me. After following this crap for many years, I’ve grown more than a little cynical. I used to actually care, until I learned that it’s best not to....
So the question arises - how does this translate for 2016?
*************
If Republicans gain control of congress, a constitutional crisis will surely erupt between the legislative and executive branches as Obama recklessly expands his use of executive power. This is going to get really ugly and people will tire of the discord by 2016. This sets the table for Hillary who will cast herself as the Great Healer and promise to return the country to the Clinton prosperity of old.
It all depends -
if we stay vigilant and unite to pressure or encourage them to fight the media and the usurper and his crooks, I think they , as majority, will be more emboldened to stand up against the bullies and show them they are in control and that they want to serve the people the way they should, (more according to the Constitution).
Should more people wake up to the usurper’s goals/actions in destroying America, more people might be wise enough to ignore the usurper’s phony accusation and/or the media’s hysterical misinformation and disinformation. Then the Rep might see that the wind has shifted, thus might be more willing and be braver to go with the wind and stand up against the destroyers of America.
But we need to get the Rep into majority first!
Think positive rather than beating ourselves down before the election results are in!
VOTE! Work to get out the votes. The more votes we have the harder it is for them to steal the election with their voter fraud!
The Senate will be deadlocked 50-50, and the most important Senators will be Alison Grimes, Michelle Nunn, Susan Collins, and Lindsay Graham.
1. The GOP needs to make good on any one of the following scandals:
- Fast & Furious
- Benghazi
- IRS
- Veteran’s Administration
2. Impeach
3. Use #1 to convince 5-6 Senate democrats to remove Obama with 67 votes
4. Tie Hillary Clinton to Obama
5. Tie certain senators to Obama
Let’s not start ‘measuring the drapes’ just yet. We first have to make it happen, and react with quick aggression to all incidents of voter fraud. That is the only way Reps will win, by seizing and grabbing their trophy. I won’t just be given away.
it will be of the GOPe own doing because they fight like little girls...
obozzo’s JA numbers are in the 30’s and dropping...he can blame anyone he wants- his policies are what’s giving the GOPe life in the midterms- not the GOPe’s recent record...
If the Republicans win the Senate the caterwauling by the doom and gloom crowd on FR will be hilarious.
If the Republicans do take the Senate we will have to keep our feet in he and Boehner’s rumps to make sure they take proper action. We cannot give them a minutes peace until they start to unwind his agenda.
How about we actually gain control before we start waving the white flags? Chances are, you are correct, but if we just take it as 100% fact, then we may as well just throw in the white towel now and not bother voting at all.
The repubs can/will fu*k up a one car funeral.
True. What is wrong with the Republicans? Are they just weak men?
