"The Blue Wave" Is Coming

[CRH]

35. Party now, because you need to touch reality, soon.

Politics has been volatile, since 2000. There is no guarantee what you have today, you will have next year.

Many here 'appear', to either have very short memories or, they don't know much of politics or history.

There is no greater danger than complacency. There was a landslide in 2008, it appeared the republicans were finished for many years to come. Then the mid terms. From Wikipedia, 'US Elections 2010', below.


Approximately 82.5 million people voted.[2] The Democratic Party suffered massive defeats in many national and state level elections, with many seats switching to Republican Party control. Although the President's party usually loses congressional, statewide and local seats in a midterm elections, the 2010 midterm election season featured some of the biggest losses since the Great Depression. The Republican Party gained 63 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, recapturing the majority, and making it the largest seat change since 1948 and the largest for any midterm election since the 1938 midterm elections. The Republicans gained six seats in the U.S. Senate, expanding its minority, and also gained 680 seats in state legislative races,[3][4][5] to break the previous majority record of 628 set by Democrats in the post-Watergate elections of 1974.[5] This left Republicans in control of 26 state legislatures, compared to the 15 still controlled by Democrats. After the election, Republicans took control of 29 of the 50 State Governorships.

With all those govern ships lost, came redistricting aka gerrymandering, with the congressional losses came gridlock and the party of 'NO'. In 2012, oops there goes chairmanship in second house of congress, and between the Speaker and Mitch orchestrating the obstructionism, the power shift prevented the Obama Administration its mark in history. The only thing that could be accomplished in the second term was by Presidential administration of regulatory agencies, through mandate. In 2016, the democrats could not even claim their rightful pick to fill the Supreme Court. Now think, in 2008 we had what (?) the White House after a decisive victory, 58 seats in the Senate and a comfortable House majority.

The republicans are no where near finished, if the same complacency follows this election.

Sorry to be 'Debbie downer', but experience wises arrogance.
