What a moronic article.

When does impeachment start?

That was hilarious. The temper tantrums being thrown today by the libs are a joy to see.

<gloat,gloat>

I will be an entertaining two years. I don't think it's all bad for Democrats to have lost the Senate (unless a liberal SC Justice dies). Obama wasn't going to do anything for the next two years anyway, and Democrats will have an evil Congress to run against in 2016. This year set up perfectly for the GOP. 2016 sets up perfectly for Democrats.

Meh, expected result. In 2012. Its never good to lose, but this is annoying, not stunning. A conservative won statewide in North Carolina in an off year election with low voter turnout. They also did so Arkansas, and in West Virginia, and in Kansas. Is this shocking? No. Its expected.

Here's where your elections were more distressing. Maryland and Illinois governors (although Quinn had lots of trouble). Ernst in Iowa. Udall losing in Colorado (although Hickenlooper did win reelection).

The real issue is that the GOP retains the same issue that they had two days ago, still no evidence they can win high turnout elections. If they started to move towards the center, I'd be more scared.

But 2016 starts today. The Dems playbook is transparent, call the GOP candidate a captive of the Koch Brothers, anti-Mexican, anti-Black, anti-woman, anti-middle class, not responsible for governance, and anti-Gay. If the swing voters see those charges as credible, the GOP will lose. Keep that checklist handy when the GOP tries to bust unions, pass punitive measures against Mexican immigrants, tries to gut civil rights/voting rights legislation, tries to block equal pay for women in the workforce, gut consumer protections, shut down the government, end Obamacare without a replacement that works for middle class Americans, and engages in crass homophobia all while being funded by the Oligarchs. You know the Dems playbook, the goal is to not fall into the trap. Lets just say I'm skeptical that the GOP will even attempt to not fall into that trap.

Totally chilled here.

It's going to be a hoot watching these clowns trying to govern with Tea Party Wacko Cruz going against Establishment Turtle McConnell at every turn.

Libs squirming and spinning their butts off today.

That is an awful playbook. Hope that is what the Dems do, no solutions of course.

Yea, how pathetic. Demonize, Demonize, Demonize. Divide and conquer, stoke the embers of racism, do nothing productive and simply focus on the politics of personal destruction.
That's the dim playbook alright, has been for some time now, funny to see one actually admit it.

People are slowly turning sour on the incessant race baiting and "war on women" nonsense.

Voters more and more are going to expect something deeper than a campaign just based on calling the other side racist, sexist, ect.

I think that is one of the few lasting positive effects that Obama will accidentally have on politics. People have just had enough of this race & sexist baiting. It insults peoples intelligence by assuming they can't understand any of the actual details.......just know the person is evil.

Obama's butt smoochers have way overplayed the race card way too many times.

The funny thing is, nobody can tell what the Republican "solutions" are from this election, but they still won. (So yes, it could come back and bite them in the butt in 2016).

But does that not tell you something?

Locally you can't? I can't tell you exactly what Tillis specifically campaigned on in his race in NC, but I can sure as heck tell you what Brat and Gillespie ran on here in Va.

Is there some overarching theme throughout? Sure, fixing and/or replacing that crap ACA, economic expansion through tax reform, removing obstacles, stopping punitive regulatory burden and several others. Google what you're interested in and I'll bet you can find many such proposals by Repubs that are serious efforts.

I'm referring to the national platform and general voters, JMU.. Again, locally I only had one national race to vote in (and I knew that might vote was gonna get overflooded by hardcore Democrat voters).

And for which I saw ZERO ads for Clay's opponent on TV.

You only quoted half my post. There were and are overarching themes that the R's ran on. But, for local elections the candidate will focus on local issues. Once they get to DeeCee they can develop their "list" of solutions.

They have always been the blatantly scummier of the two parties.

The idiots have so convinced themselves that the other side is so evil, racist and sexist that "win by any means neccisary" is not only supported, its a MUST. Look at the laughable voter ID arguments they make about "voter suppression". They know they benefit from voter fraud and they don't care as long as they win.

They would burn the entire country down with racial riots if they thought it would bring their party permanent power. They already have no problems stirring racial animosity at every single opportunity. The damages it does to society are meaningless to them because the ends justify the means.

They are scum on every level.
