Historical voting patterns strongly suggested that we'd NEVER re-elect a president with a weak economy and high unemployment.

And guess what?

So let's not set our hair on fire just yet. The elections are still six months away, and in politics, six months is a lifetime.

And IF historical voting patterns prove correct, that Democrats will lose the Senate as well, well, then historical patterns prove, beyond any doubt, that the majority of Americans ARE as dumb and ignorant as the back-end of a mule - and they will prove the oligarchs correct, that the people really are a bunch of herd animals to be led off to the slaughter at their whim.
