(25,183 posts)about fifteen years ago. Oh, some will crow about it, but they're never going to get farther than a few sound bites on television.
We will see no significant legislation enacted for those two years, in fact, that's already started now. Extended unemployment compensation and immigration reform are dead, despite those going on the Sunday morning talk shows to do CPR on those topics. The game the Republicons are playing now is "keep the Democrats from doing any more of their agenda", and I'm sure they're using fear of Hillary in this effort. They know they haven't got a realistic shot at winning the White House in 2016, so they've scared the rural rabble into getting out to vote to block the progressive agenda.
Unfortunately, it seems to have been working for them.
