Balanced Budget and no Earmarks was critically important. Dems will play off that.

So let me get this straight: You are saying that the dems will propose no earmarks and a balanced budget amendment?

Remember back when the GOP proposed the balanced budget amendment and the contract with America?
Remember how the Dems successfully took credit for it?
They’ll try to take credit for anything others do.
But back then the internet was young and we weren’t there to “play the tape” so to speak.

Hey think back to this whole period from the dems taking back the congress, obama getting elected, the stimulus slush fund, and the health care plan.
The dems got TONS of traction on saying the money melt down was actually DONE by Bush and the Republicans.
The dems got tons of media and retained supporters by saying health care plan will save the VA, medicare medicaid, social security, and gut the deficit! Many still believe them and support them.
It just goes on and on and the whole thing done by the Republicans was not very smoothly executed.
If I need to go on with all the permutations and scenarios then all I can think is those questioning my post really have not paid any attention to politics or current events for the last 20 years
