Billy, first off your explanation is a fantasy.Tell me King Jew, if the dems are in trouble, what does that make republicans? Have you seen their approval ratings? They are worst than Obama's.After last election's wipeout this is a legitimate question. The Democrat platform of race baiting, woman pandering, and class warfare was shown to be a total failure. So if they can't run on those things, what can they win with? The Democrats increasingly look like a shrinking party, popular only in the inner cities, and on college campuses. Even the non-government unions are sick of them, having gotten royally fucked by Obamacare and other regulatory intitiatives.
A look at their leadership reveals no new faces. Reid is 74. So is Pelosi. Those mentioned as presidential candidates are either retreads, like Clinton, or extreme left wingers who wont attract a following outside the welfare classes.
With the biggest history of failed policies in a generation Democrats seem to be out of ideas. "BOOSH" just doesnt sell like it used to.
The repubs took control for three reasons:
1) People who take the initiative to vote tend to vote republicans. Overall polls showed people wanted dems to retain control. Unfortunately most of those people were too stupid to vote. Repubs only ever had an edge with likely voters, not the general populace.
2) The dem candidates themselves were losers.
3) It is also common at the 6 year mark of a presidency that people turn to the other party. It's a cycle, genius.
Progressivism will never die. I also predict that as income inequality and the failure of republican economics becomes more widely known, repubs will lose.
Second, Democrat policies have produced more income inequality over the last 6 years than the GOP possibly could. Where have you been?
