Worst Democrat Blowout in 88 Years!
Vanity | 11/21/2016 | Self

Posted on 11/21/2016 6:16:39 AM PST by CptnObvious

According to the Internet, the last time the Republicans had the Presidency and both houses of congress was 1928. That's 88 years ago!

In 2010 President Obama called it a "Shellacking" when he lost the US House. When he lost the US Senate on top of that in 2014 the press said he was unrepentant.

Now Obama and the Democrats have lost all three plus lost control in more state legislatures and governorships than in a long time.

In short, the Democrats had a Blowout and the Question is whether they will learn from it and turn from the hard leftist path they have been on with Obama.

So far, it doesn't look like it.

Obama refuses to own it. He went to Europe and blamed all the losses on Republicans, accused them of ‘gerrymandering.

11. Clean out all the top levels in the FBI, BATF, Homeland Security, etc., and replace them with real American patriots.

12. Use the Justice Department and the FBI to fully investigate and indict the Clintons on their "pay for play" schemes, the abuse of the Clinton Foundation, e-mail abuses, etc. Go after Podesta, Abedin, and other Clinton associates as well as the Clintons. If the course of the investigation leads to revelation of pedophile activities, turn it over to state authorities.

13. Revive the powers of the antitrust division of the Justice Department to go after monopolistic companies like Amazon and the big media cartels.

14. Send the FBI and other Federal law enforcement agencies to investigate subversive groups like MoveOn, Black Lives Matter, etc. They have been doing the same techniques against white separatist and militia groups for decades. Time for the Left to get a dose of LEO harassment. Indict those who fund these organizations (e.g. George Soros) for contributing to subversion.

15. Use the IRS to investigate the use of tax shelters by wealthy individuals like Carlos Slim and Jeff Bezos to protect their companies' bottom line. Especially since these billionaires used their funds to prop up MSM outlets starved for cash.

It's payback time!

Trump and the GOP will have maximum 2 years to make some serious change. I hope they do it. They will have a huge agenda.

The MSM and their Leftist allies will attempt to move mountains to bring them down in the next election.

That's correct.

That explains why McCain and Romney lost.

It also explains why Donald Trump beat the sh!t out of every GOP establishment candidate in the 2016 primaries.

Public School Reform - blow it up and enact a voucher system, money follows the student not the teachers union.

This is one hill the progressives are willing to die on. Maintaining their control of the public schools and universities is the ONLY chance they have of winning at the ballot box. They educate our kids to hate America and to hate the ideas their parents hold dear - and of course, elect Democrats.

Similar to illegal immigration where they want to import their voters to overwhelm us. If they are willing to die on these two hills we should be equally willing.

And the GOP has the highest percentage of state legislators since the civil war.

Exactly. Their utter ineffectiveness is why I am no longer a republican. That was the defining moment.

If they fixed problems, you'd have no reason to elect them to fix the problems. Besides, Government profits handsomely from the problems opposed on the rest of us and both parties are in on it. That's how I see it, anyway.

Exactly! Eisenhower was a new GOP president with GOP majorities in the House and Senate. Honestly. Never in human history has it been easier to look stuff like this up. And yet we have this foolishness! Here is a chart from 1901 onward.

While we have The White House AND both houses of Congress WE NEED TO PUSH THROUGH ANTI VOTER- FRAUD LAWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or else we will lose it again.

The ONLY way they have grown so big is by voter fraud.

I’ve already sent my idea to Trump’s site. Involves certifying Individual States’ elector certifications by the Joint Session of Congress that IDs conforming to the REAL ID Act were used.

There is a lot you can learn about body language

Trump, disinterested in anything Obama has to say, turning away with a bored look. Closed hands in front.

Odumbell leaning FAR in towards Trump and gesturing expansively towards his direction and with his other arm outwards away from his body, desperately trying to seem important.

You’ve been a Freeper since 1998 and you voted for Obama? Twice?

Slow learner, I guess...

Sharing power, I think that was Trent Lott’s doing there.

For most of W’s 2 terms the RATS controlled one or more houses of congress.

Fella, you need to go back and thread through my comments here. They were all about W and what his legacy got us.

Welfare reform! No more marriage penalty in welfare. Quit paying people to have babies and eat.
