Will Obama make Mitch McConnell a "One term Senate Majority Leader"?

[Zander]

How does McConnell propose to keep his job past 2016? He will need Obamas help if he wants to carry any legislative accomplishments into 2016. Can Republicans run in 2016 on a Do Nothing Congress?

Obama has been protected by Reid. That shit is over. The real "Do nothing" is Obama. The emperor has no clothes.

 

[Roadrunner]

No. Obama is through. Wad spent. He even looks defeated. McConnell and the GOP controlled Congress will send popular proposal after popular proposal to Obama's desk and force the Ideologue-in Chief to veto them.

Obama still has that pen that McConnell needs

2016 is going to be tough for Republicans in the Senate. They have to defend 24 seats they won in 2010, Democrats only need to defend 10. Many of those 24 seats Republicans must recapture are in blue states.

What will those Senators run on in 2016? Gridlock?

For McConnell to save his job, he will have to have something those Senators can run on

If there is one thing these elections have proved, it's that the Republicans are NOT the ones getting the blame for gridlock in Washington.

All the Republicans have to do is to make Obama the choke point at which popular legislation dies.

That's what happened to the Senate.

Democrats think that American's are idiots, that if they can get the liberal media to blame Republicans for gridlock, they can make the dumbasses citizens believe that.

But Americans saw through that crap. They saw the truth...that Reid and the Democrat controlled Senate was the choke point....and they moved to eliminate it.

Now it's Obama's turn. He will be forced to do his own obstructing.

How do they make Obama the choke point if they can't even get bills out of the Senate? Reid couldn't beat filibuster with 55 votes, how can McConnell do it with 54? McConnell needs to get Obama to agree to his legislation to even make it through the Senate.......How can he do that when his own party considers ANY compromise with Obama to be unacceptable?

You don't seriously think ALL Democrats will stay in the sheep-fold like the did on Obamacare do you?

Democrats running in 2016 are going to have to point to bi-partisan votes with the R's to have a chance of being re-elected.

 

[jwoodie]

Boehner hasn't done his job and has permanent job security.

McConnell declared war on the US and on President Obama the night he was elected.

LOL, don't forget Blacks and women!

This is Senate map for the 2016 elections. The reds are the states where a Republican is up for re-election.

Simple math and politics tell you that the GOP is far more vulnerable in 2016 than even the Democrats were this year.

How does McConnell propose to keep his job past 2016? He will need Obamas help if he wants to carry any legislative accomplishments into 2016. Can Republicans run in 2016 on a Do Nothing Congress?

They just got elected to stop Obama and the Democrats.

In 2016, the run on having stopped him, and on what they plan to do when they have the WH too.

They have two years to carefully craft issues and thoroughly vet potential candidates.

In the meantime, the Dems have to totally repair their shattered image.

Shattered Image? WTH are you talking about? This changeover was entirely expected. All the Dems have to do is sit back and watch the GOP not govern, fight amongst themselves, and react like schoolgirls every time Obama vetoes their nonsense. Trust me, it's an easy ride for a couple of years now. Having to govern is the hard part and the GOP says government doesn't. Whenever they are in control of anything they're correct, it doesn't.

 

[Katzndogz]

obola is already unpopular. As he has no political future, he doesn't care how disliked he becomes. With obola, it's all about him so he doesn't feel need to prepare the nation for a democrat in 2016. He will thrash around and strike out at his perceived enemies until the entire democratic party becomes toxic.

Democrats still have to come to grips with the loss of Hillary Clinton as a viable candidate. They have no one else. All their electable eggs were put in the Clinton basket.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Low information lefties actually thought that the republican majority in congress caused gridlock even though Harry Reid's senate stalled about 3,000 bills originating from congress. The floodgates will be open in January and Reid will no longer be able to run interference for do-nothing incompetent Barry Hussein. Barry will have to stick around D.C. and work for a living even if he uses the veto pen.

Most bills require 60 Senate votes to get to the floor. How many seats are GOP now?

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Democrats running in 2016 are going to have to point to bi-partisan votes with the R's to have a chance of being re-elected.

They can all vote for the bills, knowing that Obama will veto them anyway. See how that works now?

After what Republicans have pulled in the Senate for the last six years, you don't really think that Democrats are going to vote with the Republicans do you?

They are especially not going to side with Republicans if they know the bill will eventually be vetoed

 

[NYcarbineer]

The problem for the GOP is, there is little that is popular on their actual, real life, nuts and bolts agenda.

If they happen to pass something that is popular with the voters, Obama can sign it and get half credit for passing it.

If they pass anything that is unpopular with the voters, Obama can win favor by vetoing it.

52 was the last count I saw. That helps keep bills from the floor but doesn't help a damn when you have to actually pass them.

Obama has been protected by Reid. That shit is over. The real "Do nothing" is Obama. The emperor has no clothes.

How many Congressional bills have crossed his desk?

Do Nothing Congress will remain do nothing unless some compromise is obtainable

Keep repeating that to yourself.

Hell, he's lost Jordan(BB player) and will soon lose Jordan(country) to the ISIS.

Hillary wins by having nothing to do with the POTUS. The more distance, the bigger the difference, the better. The best thing he can do for her is be who he is. How long before you people figure this out?

There will be no compromise. The game is on boys.

So far, all I hear at the top of the GOP to do list is the Keystone pipeline, as if that's the be-all end-all of domestic economic policy.

The President has them by the balls on that because he can let go through or stop it based on public opinion. Wherever public opinion is, the President can either get credit for blocking or steal credit from the GOP by signing it.

Because Democrats can read the tea leaves even if Obama won't.

They all understand #HillaryLosers. Zero coattails to ride in 2016...and 2018 may look a lot like 2014 if Democrats continue to obstruct the will of the people.

They saw Massachusetts, Illinois and Maryland elect Republican Governors...and that means (GASP) it could happen to them as well. No matter how safe they felt yesterday, they feel vulnerable today.

That's why at least a few will choose self interest over Obama.

They stuck with Obama, and look what it got them?

That may work in the Red States but how are Republicans going to win in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and North Carolina on a Do Nothing resume?

How long before you figure out that nobody but you little morons give a fuck? The country wants nothing to do with Muslim, Arab, Israeli wars. The whole place could turn back to sand for all most of us care. We've had it. We're burned. We want better paying jobs and the bridges and potholes fixed. Fuck ISIS, they can have that shithole.
