Election Day will produce a new Republican Congress, or so the latest polls tell us. If so, the huge losses for the Obama Democrats — both in 2010 and this year — will have come in large measure from the economic failures of a party that has moved radically left over the past 20 years.
Hillary Clinton just argued that corporations and businesses don’t create jobs, and that a higher minimum wage and other government actions do. It showcases just how far the Democrats have moved left since her husband, working with a Republican Congress, launched pro-growth supply-side policies like free trade, welfare reform, lower investment tax rates, limited spending and a strong dollar.
I’ve always believed the 1990s were Ronald Reagan’s third term. And while mistakes were made over the years, the U.S. created about 50 million new jobs between 1981 and the onset of the Great Recession in 2007.
Unfortunately, the free-market model has largely been discarded in recent years — not only in the U.S., but around the world — as Keynesian spending, over-regulating, tax-the-rich redistribution, and berserk money have come into vogue.
It’s all wrong. The poor results show it.

No.
No, but an increase Republican Governors and Statehouses will give Obola enough good economic news to steal the credit for.
He’ll veto everything the Repubs send him...so, no.
Someone has to convince the Republican Congress to adopt it first.
They "Can" Impeach his illegal alien ass as REQUIRED by LAW!
If the GOP can't figure out how to blow such statements and the person who made them out of the water, they don't deserve anyone's vote.
They could get some pactice by first impeaching some federal judges.
You are correct.
I think conservatism suffered a setback post-2010, largely because many of us at the grass roots level failed to realize that merely controlling the House was not sufficient.
We are in a fight for the conservatism of the Republican party, the body politic, and the culture as a whole.
This is going to be a war won in increments, not in one fell swoop.
THIS should be what we're asking EVERY Pub Senate/Congressional candidate, this election.
If we can convince the GOP to grow a pair, they can.
There will be very few, if any democrats voting with the majority on anything. They will use their status as minority to stymie any effort to improve the economy because they don’t want the republicans to get credit like they did in the 90’s. This is why it was important to compete for every senate seat because the greater the majority, the more leverage we have against the obamanation. I wish more people would understand that. We won’t get what we want out of a partisan majority in the house and a slim majority in the senate. Fifty-two seats might be a majority on paper but it won’t amount to much and it will scare those running in 2016 to appear “centrist”.
Kudlow is completely wrong about “free trade” - despite the dogma in macroecon textbooks, free trade has not been very beneficial to average Americans in its modern forms.
Too late for Obama. He was programmed as a socialist/communist by his parents and maternal grandparents from childhood to young adult. Then, it was Frank Marshal Davis’and Bill Ayers’turn.
Partly because other countries don’t practice it so we wind up unilaterally disarming
Didn’t you hear? Hillary was just shorthanding her real point which was the exact opposite of what she said
If you want someone who will shake things up, help Annette Teijeiro in Las Vegas.
I am working on the Annette Teijeiro Congressional campaign in Nevada (Las Vegas) against left wing Dina Titus. Dear Lord, we should be crushed in a heavily Democrat district, but we are less than half a point behind as we finish early voting.
It will all depend on every last Repub and conservative independent showing up at the end to push over the top. This is crunch time, time to raise the dead and go vote.
This would be a jaw dropping win, so if you know anyone in Las Vegas please give them a call, Facebook, email or tweet.
If Dr. Annette gets in we have a fearless advocate against Harry Reid, and Annette is smart as a tack. We got zero PAC money to, so we are beholden to no one.
Please call, tweet, facebook, do whatever. People need to know how winnable this is.

List of United States presidential vetoesSo if Republicans win big on Tuesday then Obama is practically out of the picture if voters are willing to show Congress that voters are the boss.
If Obama had any Bill Clinton in him he would adopt some
aspects of Reaganomics, then run to the front of the parade
and claim them as his own. Not that Clinton ever followed
the wisdom of Reagan but what he did do was allow himself to
be dragged by the GOP legislators into welfare reform. It is
not likely that Obama’s hard core lib handlers would let him
do anything different than he already has and he is not
likely to see the light, anyway. But, if he did and the
economy started booming then things would be looking up for
the Dims in ‘16. Of course, the world would be spared the
truth by the left wing media.
Maybe not. But they sure as hell can take the money out of every OBAMA idea. That is the only defense a republican congress has. They can also take money from every ALPHABET GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. Every time a government agency makes an unconstitutional “RULING”, they can take the funding away.
