"Dems might have taken Congress but they did it on a conservative agenda."
Yup.
There's a lot of teeth gnashing going on right now in conservative circles, but when you stand back and look at what happened, there are some real opportunities here. I think a lot of Democrats, including myself, are about as surprised to have won this election as the Republicans are to have lost it. There will be a lot of analysis within the Democratic party as to why we won and how we can do it again.
I think Democrats are going to work harder to attract conservatives. That is a very good thing for both conservatives and conservatism. It's not so good a thing for the Republican party.
Nice analysis.
However, what you omit is how vocal the Left is in the Democrat caucus and base. Remember 1968? The Left got political amniotic fluid from that bloodbath in Chicago, and now, spiritually, runs that party.
Your intellectual honesty is refreshing. You'd have a home here in the GOP.
