so, what if they become the majority? Then what will they do? I’d say let’s look at what happened in the years after the 1994 election for an idea.

Ok I get it... I really do... all politicians are suspect and government just s*cks.... but the negativity on anything we have on our side in the least is met with such disdain I see why the party continues to lose..... we need to do a better job at getting a better mind set...

Assuming that the Republicans win the Senate should happen, who will be the "dynamic leader" of the Republican Senate? Why, that mealymouthed old PINO dunce, Mitch McConnell. How will this clueless maroon lead the Stupid Party in the Senate? He's incapable of leadership and he will be a disaster. The Republicans need a Ted Cruz or Mike Lee who CAN lead. The RINOs will oppose with their dying breaths a conservative leader.

You really don’t.

>> all politicians are suspect and government just s*cks...

Your lame sarcasm aside... all politicians ARE suspect, and the government DOES just suck. That’s why it needs to be pared down by 75% to 80%, pronto.

>> I see why the party continues to lose

I assume you mean the Republican party. The reason they continue to lose is that as a group they are LOSERS... rudderless self-serving out-of-touch elites who lack principles and morals. Losers lose; it’s their job.

>> we need to do a better job at getting a better mind set...

Not “we”, party suck-up. The “I” part of “we” has a perfectly adjusted conservative mindset. However, YOU need to screw YOUR head on straight and stop expecting to win with a party view that is NO DIFFERENT than the ‘rats.

I don’t think anyone really thought Romney was going to win in 2012. It is hard to get rid of an incumbent President. We have only done so twice in sixty years.

Three times, if you count LBJ's refusal to run for a second term.

When a sweep like this happens, we frequently see one or two Democrats switch parties to become a Republican.

Don’t be so sure. Reid was running the Senate even when he was Minority Leader, making a monkey out of the incompetent Majority Leader Bill Frist (Frist was fine as a backbencher, he just was not a leader).
