If those comparisons hold up, what I’m thinking is that the election would be akin to the 1894 (not 1994) midterm (where the GOP reached almost what it got in 1920), which occurred as a result of the Panic of 1893 (and against the Cleveland administration). We discussed that weeks ago, where the GOP made inroads in heavily Dem locales in the Deep South and border states, but a lot of it eroded in 1896, even as we elected McKinley.

A repeat of 1894/96 would sure beat a repeat of 1994/96.

I wonder what our Republican ‘leaders’ would do with a massive majoirty. Hopefully the newly elected young Turks would join with our reformist conservatives and take over from the pathetic Boehner types.
