Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer projected a big win for the Republicans in November, giving them a 70 percent chance of winning the Senate.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
“If the GOP can’t win back the Senate in a climate like this, maybe the party ought to look for another country,” he told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly Tuesday.
Krauthammer explained why he thinks the climate is ripe for the win:
"The reason is this is essentially a referendum on Obama. In 2010 it was a referendum on his ideology. The overreach with Obamacare, the stimulus, cap and trade, and now, six years in, it’s referendum on ideology, but now added on to that, it’s on shear competence.
When you are not only the party in government, you are the party of government, and you preach about the glories of government and in fact you get Hillary saying the other day, you know, it’s not corporations that create jobs. The implication being it’s government, then if you are incompetent and lose the confidence of the people you are in trouble. You have every scandal there is. Everything from the VA, to the Obamacare rollout to the Secret Service and now with Ebola. Where they are running around, have no idea what to do and they change the protocols every other day.
So, given the climate, I think it would be, you know, if the GOP can’t win back the Senate in a climate like this, maybe the party ought to look for another country."
LOL at Charlie Kraut’s pique. At least knows how Bill Buckley felt all through the 50’s and 60’s as they backed up continuously under the liberal assault.
Mitch McConnell has prematurely capitulated on 0bamacare before the win is in the bag.
What a pathetic bunch of wussies are the GOPe.
***Krauthammer explained why he thinks the climate is ripe for the win***
No explanation is necessary, Mr. Krauthammer. We’ve all been paying attention.
If the GOP can’t win the Senate, it deserves to go the way of the Whigs. We need a US version of UKIP.
BZZZZZZT! Erratum! Sorry, guys .... the word is, "sheer".
McConnell is trying to sabotage the Win by saying what he said, the last thing these assholes want is to make their friends the Demonrats, mad.
Wow. I actually agree with Krauthhammer?
I think we are already there just due to the fact that it is pretty much 50/50 that they win it. This should have been a slam dunk for months. And even if they do “well” on Nov 4 it will be by the slimmest of margins.
What a pathetic Party to represent Conservatism.
The GOP needs to clean out the Old Senile Farts
The party does not represent Conservatism, in fact the party resents conservatism
Well, perhaps someone out there is judging Obama on his inability to trim a sheep properly?
The outrage if the RINOs backstab our support will be enormous.
This may—2014 to 2016—spell the end of the Republican party if they screw us again.
They better not.
Tonight, Cassidy will debate Landrieu. And if he follows the pattern of most Republican candidates, he will do a lot of furious talking. If he has good points, and he does against someone like Landrieu, he will lose them in tons of verbiage. Instead of slowing down and repeating notable points, he will bury them in an onslaught of words. Romney was great at doing that.
No matter who wins, the American people LOSE: the size and scope of government NEVER get smaller.
Bingo.
The GOP does not need Krauthammer. He and Rove should both just go away.
but now added on to that, it’s on shear competence.
I dunno, we are talking about the Republican party, and there's def. #2:
ShearSo, it may be entirely dependent on the fact that the Republican party has shorn competence.
