So, really, not much will change in terms of policy making. Republicans will face President Obama’s veto and they are FAR from the votes necessary to override it. Harry Reid has ZERO incentive to work with Mitch McConnell after his scumbag behavior for the last 6 years and despite what the Fat Smug Bastard says, I don’t see Obama rolling over to accommodate Republicans who have been savagely attacking him since the before he was even elected.
And finally, there’s 2016. Remember that awesome Republican wave in 2010? Well that wave crashed in two years. Republicans will have about 24 seats up for and the Democrats will only have about 10. And it’s a presidential election where the turnout is always higher. On top of that, Hillary Clinton will most likely be running and that will bring out an even higher turnout.
Remember, the higher the turnout, the worse Republicans do. This is the sole motivating factor behind their myriad voter suppression schemes.
Even worse for Republicans, they won’t have a black guy on the ballot to run against that will take the wind out of their sails. It’s easy to get the right-wing racist vote out. Voting against a black man is like masturbation for the conservative base. Voting against a woman isn’t quite as exciting and the GOP’s upcoming misogynistic attacks on Clinton will enrage women voters.
Republicans will enjoy the Senate for two years and then lose it, big time. Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the House until the next Census in 2020. Perhaps a few more Republican governors will be outed and we can redraw the districts to be less completely gerrymandered, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Addicting Info 8211 Chill Out Liberals The Republicans Took The Senate And That 8217 s TERRIBLE 8230 For Them
If you’re still freaking out over the Republicans taking the Senate here’s a joke to soothe your nerves:
Knock Knock!
Who’s there?
Republicans!
Republicans who?
That’s the question kids will be asking in 20 years when the majority of Republican voters die of old age and the party collapses!
show votes, punishing the poor/rewarding the already wealthy, & gov't shutdowns & it will play right into the hands of non-rw candidates in '16 in which also just happens to be a Prez election year.
The electorate will be reminded of why they cast them into the wilderness the last 6 years & do it again.
