I would encourage you both to review the US Constitution regarding the powers of the Vice Presidency visa via the US Senate:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.
- - show me where one party won four consecutive presidential elections - -

All I could find was this:
-
Ulysses S. Grant.....1869-1873
Ulysses S. Grant.....1873-1877
Rutherford B. Hayes..1877-1881
James Garfield.......1881-1883
Chester A. Arthur....1883-1885
-
William McKinley.....1897-1901
Theodore Roosevelt...1901-1905
Theodore Roosevelt...1905-1909
William H. Taft......1909-1913

Don’t know how accurate it is...
Post civil war the republicans did maintain control of the presidency.
Post reconstruction is a different story.
After the Civil War the Republicans would have had to been as incompetent as todays pubbies to lose an election.
In the political world of today it is virtually impossible for one political party to maintain power.
Information is more available quicker and to more people.
The electorate is just about as fractured as it was pre civil war only with more factions. Too many people offended about every little thing.
Short of a complete and total meltdown by either major party, I don’t think we will see either keep control for 16 consecutive years.
“Cruz is a once-in-a-generation candidate. Why settle for second best?”
DITTO!
bkmk
What you posted is not FR slang. Here is further proof of your ailment: many hours later and your HDS is still active because you lack the maturity of me simply posting Huckabee/Cruz.
Can’t ever recall going off the deep-end (”Bwhaaa” to cut it way short) and responding many times even after long hours because someone simply posted Name/Name. You are a case study, actually.
According to the 2015 Billionaires List here, Trump is worth $3.9 billion. Still plenty.
My fellow Cruz supporter (Cruz the ONLY guy in the race worth voting for), please allow me to correct you: Trump voted for McCain and Romney, if he is to be judged by his words on-the-record. He was a Democrat when McCain ran, yet officially endorsed McCain in 2008, and by the time Romney ran, had switched parties (for the third time in 26 years) to Republican. Just FYI.
All I had to see to understand that Trump is out of the running for my own vote was his explanation as to why McCain was only a war hero "because he was captured," and wasn't therefore really a war hero. I was stunned, shocked ... and enlightened. Cruz is absolutely the only guy in the race worth voting for.
Trump claims to be worth 9 billion
That’s my source
My point is that people say he inherited his money and 200 million divided among heirs at the age of 53 is not 9 billion nor is it 2.3 billion or one billion nor is it all of the money spent building buildings and employing people, which none of tge other candidates who get no scrutiny even on this forum get
I can tell you very definitely with my BA in English and my B in Science, having taught how to write research papers, that Wikipedia on this forum FR is quite substantial as people do not do the simplest Google search
And more specifically, my point about Trump is well mad from wiki as the difference between what you say, which refutes even Trump , 3 or whatever billion
So as mark levin would shout, ‘get off my phone!!!!!”

What makes you think McCain was a war hero?
DITTO!
Double DITTO!!
Exactly.
All the things that made America great.
The Founding Fathers were great schmoozers! Who knew!
FOUR billion would be the dif between Trump's claim and/or Wikipedia source and the 2015 billionaires list linked. MORE THAN DOUBLE a diff in the claim.
The kind of folks who trust Wikipedia, trust Trump, apparently.
Wikipedia may be okay with you on this forum -- but it's OUT for me on any forum except if it's a paid gig and I'm really desperate and it's only cotton-candy info that doesn't matter anyway. But to really on Wikipedia for really important info -- bad idea. Beware.
Do you think that the guys who were in the Bataan Death March weren't war heroes?
