We Need A New Word For The Latest Republican Wave

In 2010, President Obama lost six seats in the Senate and 63 in the House and he called it "a shellacking." Four years before that, President George W. Bush lost six seats in the Senate and 30 in the House and called it a "thumpin.' "

We need a new term for the midterm mojo that once again struck the president and his party last night. This time, it was a derecho — sudden and destructive, blowing down the vulnerable and blasting through some incumbents' fortifications.

The White House had braced for the loss of half a dozen seats or more in the Senate, implying the loss of the majority in that chamber and the last of Obama's leverage on Capitol Hill. There also was resignation about the probable loss of another dozen or so seats in the House, pushing the GOP to its biggest majority since the 1940s and making it look all but impregnable.

My big fear is that this “wave” will become known as nothing but a FART.

All stink….. no substance - with the Ruling Class Establishment already giving us signs of surrender.
