They don’t need them. They have enough liberal Republicans to get them through. A lot of them post on FR.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

My Trust in the Electorate is nonexistent at this point.

Unless they get veto proof majority….
> it’ll be two years of absolutely nothing getting do
> the press blaming everything on the republicans, which will probably ensure a democrat in the WH and them gaining control of Congress, again
> lots and lots of bluster and bullish!t from the president about how Congress wont’ work with him(do what he wants)
> and they’ll be lots and lots of infighting between the Graham/McCain types and the Cruz/Lee types…although, I’d rather have that then ever have to see Pelosi, Hoyer, Reid, Grayson, etc etc etc etc ever again

Pyrrhic victory for sure, but Mary and Mark may survive in LA and AR.

The reason your trust in the voters is lacking is that the voters have shown us nothing positive on the national scale for decades. If Republican primary voters are as ignorant as they seem, how could anything result from November 4 that would encourage us?

Who cares really?

A bullshit GOP

You want to learn your wife is porn star on the side or turning tricks in the locker room at your local tennis club while you’re at work paying for membership?

Late stage melanoma or stage IV pancreatic?

Both choices suck....one only slightly less

Exactly! That’s my read too.

The problem with a Republican White House, is that anything it wants is almost assured by a Republican Congress. When we’re talking RINOs, the GOPe, and the RNC, we’re talking extreme danger IMO.

At least the Republican House does oppose some of what Obama is doing. If a Republican were proposing some of those things, they would sail right through. A massive amount of damage could be perpetrated in four years.

You touched on two obvious examples. Obamacare under the guise of a Republican President, and Amnesty. You read those exactly right.

We’re in full agreement here. AGAIN! :^)
