The Senate is Lost!

[rightwinger]

This is what happens when the republicans do absolutely nothing but hate Obama.

What happens ?

They take the house in two years.

And the senate in six ?

When they were supposed to have neither for a decade ?

Not sure what you are saying.

What has the vaunted Republican Congress done with their victory so far?

What they were asked to do.....nothing.

And people like it so much, they have strengthened the house for the GOP in terms of numbers and moved it farther to the right.

I don't like it, but that's what has happened.

All that celebrating by Republicans so they could do nothing?

They have a short two year window to control Congress after eight years and their master plan is....Lets do nothing?

What happened to those jobs programs, balanced budget, tax cuts, republican healthcare plan, immigration plan? Republicans had an opportunity to shape the agenda and they are satisfied with nothing?

Your president VETO'D or threatened to VETO all of them...

 

[JimH52]

Add in a Presidential election year without a strong Republican candidate and you will see the Senate go 54-46 Dems

Now THAT'S funny right there, I don't care who you are! I am not disagreeing with you, but by comparison the GOP is head and shoulders above what Liberals have to offer:

The candidates for the DNC are an old, criminal elitist liar staying 1 step ahead of going to jail, an admitted Socialist, and a VP known more for his gaffes than anything who hasn't even entered the race yet!

No one is a bigger clown than Trump. Not even close!

Carson?

He doomed himself when he said he would not have invaded Afghanistan. He will not win the nomination.

 

[rightwinger]

How inept can the Republican Congress be?

Their first order of business was they were going to ram the Keystone Pipeline down Obama's throat

Guess how that went?

So then...the GOP did NOTHING.

As I stated, I don't like it myself.

But, it seems that they were primarily elected to counter President Obama.

And doing nothing has gotten them more seats and the senate.

Can't help those facts.

In a sense, they did shape the agenda.

IME, they've done worse than nothing.

Like what....repealing Obamacare ? (which I agree with doing)

However, the republicans, true to form, had not started conversations of any value on any key issues.

As an example:

I don't like Obamacare. I don't want the fed in healthcare.

THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE. WE'VE HAD ONE FOR 20+YEARS AND THE GOP HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO EVEN STEP UP AND ADMIT IT.

Did Obamacare solve much ? Not a thing. We still have a HUGE issue.

The GOP would do well to admit that and offer up leadership that might include states instead of the federal government.

But no....the have to deal with KIM DAVIS and this kind of publicity.

Seems Obama is winning on every issue and the mighty Republican Congress just sits on the sidelines and fumes

The reason repeal Obamacare is not in the GOP script is they know most Americans now see its value. Their opposition will hurt them.

Republicans could have easily passed the Keystone Pipeline

But their political ineptness assured it would be vetoed

 

[ogibillm]

can't gerrymander senate seats

 

[jon_berzerk]

When you can't tell the difference between Republicans and Democrats based on their actions, how can you say one party having more seats than the other is truly a 'loss'. For Conservatives, after Americans punished Liberals in historic record-setting fashion last November and the GOP immediately came into power and took up right where the Democrats left off - doing the same exact things, the Senate was lost THEN.

It is not the GOP's loss; however - It was America's loss. The majority of Americans made their voices clear by rejecting the Liberal agenda...and they were immediately ignored and given a double dose of it.

It ain't a 'party' thing...It's an 'America' thing!

yup as far as i am concerned

it is time for a constitutional convention

 

[easyt65]

Seems Obama is winning on every issue and the mighty Republican Congress just sits on the sidelines and fumes

It's not a matter of who is right or wrong...it is a matter of having the courage to do anything or not or just simply focus on being re-elected. I agree, the GOP, like the DNC, are gutless, self/party-serving career politicians...

 

[Slyhunter]

The senate is going back to the Dems. The current make up is 54-46. The Dems have 10 seats up and really only one vulnerable seat (Reid), while the Rep have 24 seats up. I see 3 seats as easy wins: Kirk in Il, Johnson in WI and Toomey in PA. CO in a presidential election sways left, so I see that open seat going blue and then I see Portman getting outed in OH. If the gov runs in NH that seat is lost also. 60 seats won't happen, but the majority will be blue.

Thank god!!!! More so if they're dumb enough to shut down the government = toast. We don't need people that don't want to govern in power.

I think your political thinking on the senate is well reasoned and very likely to occur.

If the government shuts down it'll be because Obama did it. The Republicans did their part, they passed the bill. Now it's Obama's turn.

How can Obama shut down Government?

Only Congress can approve continued spending

Congress has already approved it.
Obama will shut it down by vetoing their bill.

Kind of hard to get pass that road block of Obama's veto.

The GOP will be blamed. Count on it......

Republicans overplayed their hand on Keystone (don't they always?)
They took what should have been a rubber stamp by the President and turned it into a political football.
They drew a line in the sand in trying to force the issue and the President sent them packing

The Senate should be modified,......it doesnt represent anything really in a rational manner.

The Roman Senate was officially advisory only...maybe we should go to that....

Franklin didnt want a Senate at all. ......Senators certainly dont represent the states they come from...they just represent special interests......

The first thing to do would be to outlaw all money from outside the state in Senate campaigns.

Wow! You could say that about the House also!
