Oh, nolo contendere...McCain and Romney were the best candidates by far for Republicans to run. No other candidates came closeWhen your opposition is the likes of McSame and Mittens, it's damned hard NOT to win, right?Obama didn't runUnless one factors-in the last two mid-terms, when Obumble and the Dems lost both the House AND the Senate...Good idea skipping past the last two presidential elections when predicting the next one.I think we will see a Republican President. they people spoke out loud and clear with the last two MIDTERM elections.
The times he did run, Democrats picked up seats in both houses
As for the Seats... coat-tails... and marginal ones, at that... we need look no further than the large numbers of Dems who cringed at the thought of Obumble campaigning for them in the run-up to the 2014 mid-terms...
They were, however, not good enough, to win the confidence of a majority of Americans, not even amongst those who think for themselves...
