2014 was a great wave for the GOP. No doubt about it. The "anti-Obama" platform worked well for the Pubs, this time.

All these obits for the Democrats are extremely premature. 2016 will be entirely different.

Every presidential year, their base is roused. Many of them are too ignorant to be bothered by mid terms elections, but presidential elections are easy for them to understand. They see Dem candidate as someone with a stash of money, that if they get to the polls and vote for that candidate, they're gonna get some of that stash. That type of motivation is absent in midterms, thus a sizeable chunk of the socialist base (i.e. the Democrat party) doesn't bother to show up.

These Democrat voters (both real and phantom) will be out in force in 2016 to pull the lever for Hillary or whichever Marxist/Alinskyist the Dems/MSM are running. The war on women meme, which some on our side have pronounced defeated, will be resurrected. Race card played again. Massive support from minority groups. It will all be in our face again in 2016, providing unbelievable headwinds for the GOP.

The best way to counter the inevitable Dem tactics is to run a true conservative. I say that because common sense conservatism is the medicine this suffering nation needs at this time if it ever hopes again to lead the world again.

Note to the GOP power brokers: We've tried moderate candidates in the last two presidential elections. How about if we try running a real conservative this time?

I struggle with this question:

Why can the Dems inspire the “Entitlement Army” to vote every 4 years but not every 2 years. Somehow the difference in physical activity required does not seem that great....?

[Alas Babylon!]

We've tried moderate candidates in the last two presidential elections.

Actually, the last 7:

Romney
McCain
