Which Republican Party won the midterms?

[Wry Catcher]

Thomas E. Mann is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Norman J. Ornstein is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. They are the co-authors of “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism.”

All of those who have embraced the politics of extremism ought to read this link below. You are the people are parents warned us about, and my dad fought against in WWII.

Even if you're one of the many willfully ignorant, take a moment to read this article and think. It's written by adults for adults, so to those extremists who feel they know everything take the risk, cognitive dissonance isn't fatal and what doesn't kill you may make you smarter.

Oh STHU, loser. Dirtbags like you are out the window. Didn't you hear?

 

[S.J.]

Hopefully it's the one that'll impeach Obama.

Good article.

 

[Two Thumbs]

good lord, what a hack article

the far left bullshit being slung just proved that he wrote this while his butt was still hurting

lame and not news worthy

It doesn't matter which Republican party won...

All we care is that the Democrat/Progressive/ COMMIE party was kicked out, now sit back and lick your wounds.

 

[Mr. H.]

Not Democrats.

That's all that matters.

Not Democrats.

That's all that matters.

yep.

for what?

The only extremism is in WCs head. If the dems continue with their war on everything, their numbers will continue to dwindle in the house and senate. Perhaps the OP needs to contemplate the incompetency and ineptitude of his beloved party.

Just more incessant sobbing.

The dumbest of the dumb are the few who can't/won't comprehend anything which conflicts with their weltanschauung (world view). A perspective formed via lies, half-truths, rumor, innuendo, hate and fear promulgated by those who hope to profit; whose sole purpose is to regain power and fundamentally change our government into the Plutocracy long sought by the power elite.

Those who really want to see another impeachment fiasco are parrots, fools who echo sedition and suggest the POTUS should be charged and brought to trial in the Senate for "light and transient causes".

Radicalism has run its course, if and only if the current Republican Leadership acts in the interest of all American's, something MB&Co have never before done. We live in interesting times, and all should keep in mind the answer Franklin gave to someone over two centuries ago: "You have a Republic if you can keep it"

There is only one Republican party just as there is only one Democratic party both parties have a far right and far left element but they are all part of the same party. You could just as the question which Democratic party lost the midterms?

Progressives were shallacked. American hate Socalism

Americans realized they made a horrible mistake in trusting Democrats with political power. If Starkey Republicans think they can continue down the path of Statism and dependency they too will be kicked to the curb

It’s one of life’s little ironies that the political party most often screaming about “democracy!” is also the party least likely to care what the majority of citizens actually vote for. Tuesday’s election sent a clear message: We don’t like what the Democrats have been doing. What did Democrats hear? Well, one senior Democratic aide told Politico, “As a party, we need to change. [Voters] like our policies. All this leftie [talk], the country likes, but somehow the message about us as individual members of the conference isn’t breaking through.” Yes, people love the policies of the past six years....

Thank you for you opinion. Explain why the term RINO is tossed around freely and no one ever suggested the Blue Dogs were DINO. The modern D Party has always voted for its principles, and yet there is never uniformity of opinion, and why it has become common to describe the D Party as a herd of cats, all going in different direction yet seeking the same goal.

Those on the partisan right should read the article, as it is indeed correct:

'Welcome to the 114th Congress, in which the warfare within the GOP will only be amplified by the party’s new power. The pragmatic desire of mainstream Republicans to transcend their “party of no” label and show that they can actually govern will clash with the forces that continue to pull the GOP to the right and oppose anything the president does. This fight within the party will define the new Congress nearly as much as the battles with a Democratic president.

In the Senate, even candidates such as Iowa’s Joni Ernst and Arkansas’ Tom Cotton, who had the blessing of the GOP mainstream, embraced nearly every policy idea and conspiracy theory of the tea party wing. And you only need look at Sen. Marco Rubio’s repudiation of his own immigration reform bill to see where the party is headed.

McConnell’s hope for a return to the Senate of old will prove an illusion.'
