GOP Push For Veto Proof Congress - Clinton Ceremonial Presidency.

[TheMastersNemesis]

The GOP and most likely Kochs will push for a veto proof Congress where Hillary would be ONLY a ceremonial president. As soon as it become certain that Trump will crash and that possibility is still in doubt actually, the GOP will double down to increase their majorities. At best they believe they will have an obstructive majority that will stall the government permanently even on Supreme Court justices.

And they are likely to keep control of key states because of gerrymandering. In their view NO government is good government. So the GOP supports the US and state sinking into the quicksand with nothing being done. And they will continue to erode workers rights and depress the economy for 2018.

The GOP really has NO interest in us staying super power i all actuality. They still aim for a Christianized oligarchy. The GOP is the real enemy of the country who have a permanent 40% of the vote.

Trump could be publicly actually murdering people and 40% GOPPERS will still enthusiastically support him.

The Trouble For Democrats That’s Not Spelled With a Capital T-R-U-M-P
While the party has been making history at the national level, it's losing ground in the states.

Since 2010, in contests for state House and state Senate seats, Democrats have racked up a net deficit of 913 seats. Republicans now control 68 of the nation’s 99 state legislative chambers, a historic high. Of the 31 states where one party enjoys a “trifecta” — holding the governor’s office and majorities in both state legislative chambers — Republicans are in charge in 22.

“In 2010, we gave away the House of Representatives for a decade,” Rathod said, referring to the congressional redistricting maps, redrawn after every new Census. In most states that’s done by legislators, and in most states Republicans controlled the process. The result are district lines that are so favorable to Republicans that many experts believe it will take another redistricting for Democrats to even have a prayer of regaining the House speakership.

There are policy implications as well. SiX just issued a report detailing the difference party control of state legislatures can make, examining legislation the various states passed on such issues as the minimum wage, family leave, immigration, climate change, education, voting rights and gay rights.

In Rathod’s opinion, Democrats have only themselves to blame. Even though both President Obama and outgoing Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz started out as state legislators, “The Democratic Party has effectively ignored down-ballot races,” he says. The situation has become so dire that Politico reports the president will campaign for state legislative candidates this fall. He has a lot of catching up to do. Republicans “have made smart and large investments in both state races and infrastructure building that has allowed them this historic control of state legislative chambers and policymaking at the state level,” Rathod says.

Nick Rathod is a veteran of the Obama White House, the Everytown for Gun Safety Campaign and a founder of South Asian Americans Leading Together, & now heads up the State Innovation Exchange, or SiX, as the group calls itself.

I've read before that dems pay too much attention to national races & not enough to state level races.
