In 2008, I prayed "Go Left O go until America is sick of you and yours". Is America sick enough of them yet?

I believe that during W’s term(s) there was a period where HE had the House and the Senate and the martha-farging bastiges did nothing with it.

the last time the Republicans had the Presidency and both houses of congress was 1928. ................................. Yes, but a year later? Lets not go there this time around.

Yes, America is sick of them but unfortunately they will NEVER be gone until they are all six feet under, which cannot come any too soon.

“the Question is whether they will learn from it and turn from the hard leftist path they have been on with Obama.”

I think a bigger question is will the American voter learn from it, and the answer is: probably not.

Once in a few generation opportunity for Trump, McConnell and Ryan. I would take:

1. Demolish both Obamacare and Dodd-Frank.
2. 2 young conservative justices on the SCOTUS to establish a 6-3 balance for at least 20 years. 7-2 would be icing on the cake.
3. Tax reduction and reform at all levels.
4. Drill, baby, drill — bigly.
5. Undo all Obama executive orders.
6. A wall, and all that comes with minimizing immigration, except for those who are coming here with a high level of skills we need.
7. Rebuild and bigly modernize the military.
8. Undo the Iran deal.

No, they will not ‘learn’ from it. They never have and they never do.

To a leftist, the only answer is an even more leftward tilt. As T. Mcauliff said when they lost the 2004 elections, “We didn’t go liberal enough!”...............

The dems can’t learn from this. Being nutjob kooks is the foundation of the “religion substitute” they have created for themselves. They’re too educated, open-minded and superior to be part of a real religion.

I believe he had both houses from 2002-2006. I also remember(I think) that for a while he had 55 in the Senate. That period in my mind was terribly wasted.

2016 map exhibits the Republican Party expansion. 2014 map is Congressional results when the Democrats got slaughtered.

2016 map was better than we could have ever imagined.

=================================================

TRUMP MAP (hat tip NYT)

HILLARY MAP (hat tip NYT)

Trump and GOP congress have 18 months to downscale the Fed govt. Then the next election cycle is underway. They need to work very hard & fast.

In short, the Democrats had a Blowout and the Question is whether they will learn from it and turn from the hard leftist path they have been on

In short, the Republicans had a Blowout win and the Question is whether they will learn from it and turn from the weak-kneed, deal making, reach across the aisle, go along to get along, GOPe leaders and embrace the idea of "Winning With Ideas The American People Support." Time will tell.

Mitt Romney for Secretary of State? Seriously? Haven't we had enough dolts in that position?

Obama refuses to own it. He went to Europe and blamed all the losses on Republicans, accused them of ‘gerrymandering.

Trump and the GOP will have maximum 2 years to make some serious change. I hope they do it. They will have a huge agenda.

The MSM and their Leftist allies will attempt to move mountains to bring them down in the next election.

And the GOP has the highest percentage of state legislators since the civil war.

No wonder we have become so sick as a society. For 3 generations we have gone without a particular form of governance and it is particularly evident.
