Good News, Democrats, You’re Going to Lose!
"................Underlying the Republican predicament is that they are on the brink of a big victory despite being deeply unpopular. Shutdown, balkanization, obstruction and investigation has earned congressional Republicans an approval rating of 19 percent, far worse than President Obama’s numbers. Winning the Senate will not be validation of a party philosophy or platform, especially when one has not been offered. It simply allows the House’s haphazard governing approach to spill over into the Senate. This is not a recipe for restoring the party’s battered brand. Voters in November may throw out several Democratic incumbents and hand the reins to Republicans because they want less dysfunction in Washington. They will receive a rude awakening when they realize dysfunction is all that a divided Republican Party can provide. No longer accountable for any “Washington” gridlock, liberated Democrats will giddily run against “Republican dysfunction” in 2016, which not only will abet the presidential nominee but also smooth the path to retaking the Senate as several blue state Republicans will be on the ballot. For the Democrats, losing the Senate couldn’t come at a better time......"
Voters don't care about dysfunction, gridlock or whatever else the Beltway calls it, they want to STOP the function of government that is destroying the country, the economy, their jobs, their income, their health insurance, their schools, their hospitals, etc. This is way to much function that the Big Government Democrats are accomplishing.
It's not that the government isn't functioning, it's that it's functioning all too well in a destructive way.
