(43,388 posts)and then we got one of those rich guy Goldman Sachs Dem governors. However, this guy seems to be the real thing and I like him. I can tell you that Christie gutted everything from the inside and a lot of these republican characters who became part of the bureaucracy go away the minute the other side takes over. I mean they resign and run away because they know what's coming down the pike.
The other thing I can tell you is that very rapidly things can be put back in order. We, meaning the union, saw, for example, our public employees' relation commission gutted and all the mediators replaced with repuke toadies. They pretty much went away immediately and were replaced with some fairly decent professionals in the field of human resources and experts on employment law. This happened across the board, but I just saw it close up because I am on the executive board of my union.
If we get the right person(s) in the Senate and the Presidency, it could be that way for us as a nation.
It can happen. Don't lose hope.
Also, you should know some of the repuke judges do themselves in because they are so stupid. Things like mouthing off to the police and having to resign, DWIs, sex crimes against people who work for them, politically incorrect speech, etc. Then they are forced to resign. Not a huge factor but it certainly helps to trim the benches of their ilk.
