We must hang together or surely we hang separately.
Here is my perfect-world scenario: we close in on enough Senate seats to be able to ditch McConnell and still re-take it. Then we somehow get Ohioans to ditch Boehner. I still have hope for McDaniel in MS.
In Texas (where we didn’t have any TEA come in and stump for Stockman or Stovall), Cornyn only got 59% of the primary vote.
I’d like to un-support him just enough to let him keep his seat, 51-49, to remind him that 41% of Texas Republicans want him gone.
If I knew for a fact we’d take back the Senate 52-48, I would send $ to Alison Grime’s campaign to help ditch Mitch.
But in the meantime I’m still gloating over Cantor’s defeat.
Problem is, we don't live in a perfect world. What will happen is:
McConnell & Boehner will both be relected, and become the GOPEe "leadership". They will set the agenda. Of course, that agenda will be anti-Conservative in every possible way, but both will come out and talk about how much political capital the GOPe has now against the Tea Party, and it shows just how far right and radicalized the Tea Party really is, and that's gonna piss off a whole lot of Tea Part COnservatives, who then WILL stay home, or at least certainly vote 3rd party in 2016, and by 2020 the GOPe will have pissed off it's entire base, Democrats will be in the majority and will hold the White House for some time.
I say screw it. Rip the bandage off quickly, now, and get us to where we're headed before I'm too damn old to put up a good fight.
