Just as in 1972, the great Silent Majority will go to the polls and sweep out the trash.

I think so. The more these varmints push the envelope the more they will alienate the great mushy middle. This country is confused and screwed up but has no taste for public violence.

How did they sweep out the trash? Even though Dems lost Congressional and Senate seats in 1972, they still held strong majorities in both. I hope we can do much, much better than that.

And, the incumbent "sweeper" was a "crook" who left office in shame just a year and a half later.

Sorry to be such a downer, but 1972 is not an election year for Republicans to emulate. I'd rather build on a 2010 model.
