Interesting take. The author could have referenced the 1948 presidential election for a precedent.

The “prevent defense” always used to drive me crazy too. Madden is right! BOOM!

. . . spent most of the year defending the sequester spending cuts before they were foolishly thrown away at the end of the year . . . That's the moment I lost it with Paul Ryan: Snookered into this "compromise" by the dumbest member of the U.S. Senate, Particia Bin Murray.
This, after he lost a debate to Joe Biden in 2012.

Who gives a damn anyway. America is almost finished and the next couple of years will finish destroying to a point that it would take generations to correct. And that depends if we do not elect more of the same rotten politicians that are so corrupt it make a bank robber look tame.

If anyone can screw this up, the GOP can. They have a lot of practice in this area.

the prevent defense strategy is a huge improvement over the “give them what they want so they don’t say bad things about us” strategy used so far.

Just keep sending Mitt Romney on all the talk shows.
That won’t supress anything.

It's the midterm election of a second term presidency, the party out of the White House is SUPPOSED to make considerable gains, but at the rate things a going the GOP won't even fair as well as the Democrats did in 1986 and that was against Reagan near the height of his popularity.

This has Mitch McConnell written all over it. The only thing he knows how to do is prevent strong action when he has a winning hand.

You can be certain that the money men have given the GOPe their marching orders - and a crushing defeat for progressivism is not on the agenda.

The ONE thing you can count on, that you can be certain of, with the beltway establishment GOP, is, in an election year, to deflate their base.

Best doom and gloom thread EVER!!!...LOL. Some folks are so grumpy all news is bad news. If we win the Senate some people here are going to have the same looks on their faces as the hosts of MSNBC.

Not one dime’s worth of difference. Beavis and Butthead, aka McCornhole and Bonor, are not game changers.
