Under Mitch and Boehner the Senate will go back to the Rats in 16 and the House Repubs will loose 25-40 seats.
Why? Because after giving them the chance to stop Obama they will not only have failed but refused to even fight. Conservatives will sit the election out
My newly elected congresscritter who ran as a “Principled Conservative Leader” voted for Boehner today. He’s on my shit list day ONE,
Yeah. I don’t get it.
I just do not get it.
I wanted to call and tell him to enjoy it while he can because in 2017 the Democrats are going back in the majority.
This commonly-held belief is mostly an exaggeration that liberals began telling themselves to take the sting off their most recent ass-kicking. In fact, the 2016 Senate picture is nothing like a mirror image of 2012. The seats that the Republicans picked up were mostly in red states. The seats that liberals are counting on to be in play are mostly purple. The liberal predictions make questionable assumptions like Mary Landrieu returning to knock off Dick Burr in Louisiana, and Harry Reid defying the odds again in Nevada.
If the Republicans nominate a strong presidential candidate in 2016, it is entirely likely that they will increase their gains in the Senate.
