Another way to look at is to compare it to sports teams. Sometimes you need to cut under-performing veterans in order to bring in younger players. The result will surely be a losing season or two but the objective is to have a very competitive team in two to three years.

Your sports analogy is idiotic. In sports, if you lose, you get the better draft picks. Also with the salary cap, a winning team often can not keep its best players.

Politics is just the opposite. The party that wins gets the first draft picks because in politics, the party that wins gets to make the rules. Also, in politics, there is a reverse salary cap. If you win, people give you money.

Bottom line, in sports the game is rigged to have competitive play. In politics, the winners rig the game so there will never be fair play.

I won't argue that my analogies might need a little work!!! However it is definitely a rebuilding year - out with the old, in with the new.
