US midterm elections: Outcome is likely to be a more conservative America

I'm listening to the results come in on the internet.

Looks like it's a Republican wave.

Bye bye Harry Reid.

Republicans own both Houses.

In fact...



U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell waves to supporters with his wife, former United States Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, at his midterm election night rally on Tuesday in Louisville, Kentucky. U.S. television news networks are projecting that McConnell will win the election

Resurgent Republicans captured seats in Arkansas, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia on Tuesday as they reached for control of the Senate and a tighter grip on the House in elections certain to complicate President Barack Obama's final two years in office...

I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that GOP retained control of the House and regained control of the Senate. I'd say the only surprise is the extent to which they did.

The GOP is also partying at the State Level Gov. Mansions and Legislature's. Very critical for a Constitutional Convention to fix the Citizenship, Senate Articles to name a few.

Republican Governors in places like

Illinois

Maryland

Taxxachusetts


Death grip on the House, solid majority in the Senate.

Biggest Congressional Republican lead since WW2.




Meanwhile, Fearless Leader has spent the most time playing
golf since Eisenhower.

Thanks, Obama.

Does this Republican wave mean that they will elect another Democrat President?


Probably.

It's morning in America again!

Should make for interesting times.

Democrats prove yet again they're incapable of holding a lead.

BAM!

Too many Democrats are complete gutless wonders. And they deserve what they're going to get over the next two years if they couldn't bother to show up and vote if they were in some kind of a snit just because President Obama didn't turn out to be the 1960's era mega-liberal they wanted him to be.

Let's just look at one case study: the Montana Senate seat the Democrats lost last night.

Montana has a long tradition of sending Democrats to the Senate, dating back to Majority Leader Mike Mansfield, who hosted JFK the day before he died. The incumbent Max Baucus, Finance Committee chairman and an extremely popular legislator, retired early to become Ambassador to China. The Dem Lt. Governor John Walsh was appointed to the seat. Mr. Walsh decided to run for a full term in 2014. Running against him was Steve Daines, the GOP who was finishing his first term in the House.

July comes around, and The New York Times finds that John Walsh plagiarized a paper he submitted to graduate from the Army War College in 2014. Montana Democrats call for him to exit the race, but national Democrats tell him to stay. More campaign missteps emerge, including that the claim that John Walsh had survived hundreds of IED attacks in Iraq applied to his unit; he survived one.

John Walsh eventually exits in shame and the Democrats Sarah-Palin it by nominating state representative Amanda Curtis, known for being young, a woman, and not much else.

Unsurprisingly, the Republican Steve Daines won in a landslide.

Also, you can't win if you don't vote!

That's really interesting how they mirror each other, and how the young turned up but the oldsters didn't during Obama elections. It's like there's a cultural meme about who's going to win, it's decided long before the vote, and the anti side doesn't bother showing up. IF that pattern repeats, Hilary is in for 16.
