people will get out and vote, wont be like the mid terms where nobody wanted to vote.

I agree. The future looks dim for the GOP.

I agree...democrats need to stay the course...it will all turn around for them in 2016.

 

That should be the last nail in the coffin for the GOP.

I agree. The future looks dim for the GOP.

What in the past two election cycles would lead you to believe this?

From the last two elections, Big Girl has come to the following conclusion

32 Republican Governorships makes it look dim for the Republicans.

Biggest House of Representatives Majority in decades makes it look dim for the Republicans

Newly gained control of the senate makes it look dim for the republicans

Control of 70% of state legislatures by the Repubs makes is look dim for them

IN 24 states, Repubs have control of the state legislature as well as the governorship- another dim
indicator for the Republicans

Montana elects its first Republican senator in 100 years and West Virginia its first Republican senator since 1956. Two more very dim indicators for the Republicans.

Big Girl- Let me congratulate you on your insightful analysis of the political landscape.

If either party thinks that they have a lock on the government then they are in for a huge letdown. Politics is cyclical. Whining about low turnout is an excuse. The Dems should have done a better job of getting their supporters out.

[stevenash]

If they don't show up, then it may be a stretch to call them supporters. If anyone believes that one party will always has control, he or she needs to wake up. When the country moves either to the left or to the right, the populace often decides that the country has moved too far in one direction and the pendulum thus swings back the other way. My guess is that will never change. I believe the current administration misjudged how much leeway they were going to be given by the public and the last two mid term elections (decisive losses) are statements that you can only go so far in one direction before the public says enough is enough
