At some point “X will come” must change to “X is happening / did happen”.
We’re at a point where it’s all gotta start happening, if anyone has a vested interest in making it happen. We’re at 2 years left in the Obama’s term; considering the realities of making X happen, following through, and cementing/normalizing it to survive past the 2016 election & 2017 coronation, anything anyone wants to do leveraging current conditions must happen soon, and if it hinges-on/manipulates the 2014 election then actions must start now and culminate about mid-October.
The Left is facing loss of the Senate if no serious/dramatic actions are taken to affect the next election. Methinks his initial and repeated election involved clever data-mining, determining the minimum jurisdictions needed to push him over the edge (by whatever means), and could be done with finesse. This time, the statistics are simply not viable, so he crosses from clever & subtle to coarse & overt; opening the gates and declaring amnesty may be sufficient but is not assured, he needs to re-invigorate the disillusioned base with an outrage blamed on his opposition ... and he needs it _soon_ so outrage peaks at the election.
If revolt is coming, those who benefit from it need to initiate it soon - before someone else sparks it first and in their favor, or it happens spontaneously and everything comes crashing down.
And all this leaves us going “yup, gonna happen soon - and there’s not a d@mn thing we can do about it without going where angels fear to tread”.
WOW! You nailed exactly some of the thoughts that made me realize it was now, or never.
What will really happen is that there will be a “build-up” of pressure the next few years, from this year through at least through 2017 before anything really happens. What it will depend on BIG is this year’s midterms. That will be the turning point.
