They won't take it. GOP may get some governors, but on the whole it's not going to be pretty. Fraud, a lack of media savvy, and a stupid platform are going to do the party in.

After 2008 & 2012, I have zero confidence that the current batch of GOPers could fight their way out of a wet paper bag.






It's stunning to me exactly how inept they are at messaging a lucid and compelling position without stepping on their dicks along the way.







The GOP, IMO, will snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory every single time.....and I have yet to see any evidence remotely to the contrary.







We'll see.

No, the races will tighten up and there will be plenty of people driving voters to the polls to ensure this doesn't happen.  That party is far more organized and determined in the ground game.

Here we go again, every election the defeatist and Mobys come out in numbers in GD to discourage conservatives from voting. I voted already, things can change if you would get off your basement dwelling collective asses and do something. Look at the recalls we had here, 3 anti-gun dems thrown out of office.

Even if they take the majority by one or two it will make no difference.
Even if the Rhino's mustered up some balls (impossible) and attempted to pass something they will
not have a super majority and the left wing loons will filibuster.

The Rhinos will keep the status quo in an effort to keep power and change nothing.

I'd like to see it. I'm not sure how much difference it will make. Congress has ceded much of it's authority to the bureaucrats and alphabet agencies. Will we get a government, which has taken control of every activity and every decision in our lives, off our backs? Will Obamacare be reversed? Will the swarms of illegals be shipped out and the border secured? Will the able-bodied of the 50% on the dole be required to earn their keep? Will the rule of law be enforced in the inner cities? Will the corruption be exposed and those responsible be held accountable?

I will participate because it is my duty, but what's the best we can expect?  Slow the downward spiral from 100 MPH down to 90?

It will appear that the GOP will retake the Senate when they start reporting the vote count, then the Dems will find enough votes from the urban areas to get them to the lead.

I suspect they'll pickup a few seats, but have my doubts about them taking the Senate.  I suspect they'll pickup a few seats in the House also.   In the long run I doubt it'll matter much other than getting the Rs blamed for more.  They won't have an agenda, and they won't stand up to Obama when he exceeds his authority, so they'll just be a bigger punching bag or will go for the same agenda, but a bit slower.  More RINOs is not the answer.

How many Republicans voted for Medicare Part D? They are good at opposing the Dems (sometimes) but given power they abuse it themselves just as readily.

It's not "McCain did X" or "Bush did Y" it's "Every time the GOP has power they pass liberal legislation, deficit spend, and shit on the Constitution." I want that to change. I'm not saying that people should not vote for the GOP, I'm saying that they should not vote for big .gov liberals even if they have an R by their name.

I'll support conservatives when and if they appear. The GOP is currently not run by conservatives. Apparently, wanting the GOP to be conservative and not supporting tax and spend liberals who happen to have an R by their name makes me a moby.

Yep.  I'm done trying to predict things on the national level, because I clearly don't know enough about the ground situation from state to state to say anything with confidence.  I really thought Romney had a good chance to win in 2012.

That's hilarious.

I want to see the fed.gov get smaller, I want to see a stop to deficit spending, I want to see less BS laws passed down from the feds. If I empower people who want to raise my taxes, expand the government, and generally erode the Constitution just because they promise to do it slightly slower than the other guys then I am not achieving my goals. The reason we keep getting demi-liberal candidates from the GOP is because we keep accepting them. I want the GOP to be a conservative party, and the best way to do that is to support conservative candidates and not support liberal ones.

We'll never change the GOP if we keep buying what they're selling, and voting for "kinda sorta slightly less liberal maybe" candidates.

How is your strategy working out? Reagan did some good things, but grew the deficit like a Democrat and started amnesty for illegals. The first Bush was a liberal who mocked supply side economics. Bob Dole wasn't terrible positionally, but was a terrible candidate. Bush the Younger was a "compassionate" liberal, just one that was a foreign policy hawk. McCain is a liberal. Romney is a liberal who flipflopped more than John Kerry and tried to tell us he didn't really mean all that socialist healthcare/pro abortion/assault weapon ban stuff he'd done in his only actual stint in office.

My path is not to stay home and do nothing, my path is to support people who actually align in some way with my beliefs. For me, "He's only a socialist not a full blown Communist!" is no longer a convincing argument, and I believe that the only way we will see candidates that actually align in any way with my beliefs is to not support people who do not.
