The title is self explanatory for Democrats…….I have been saying that the Dems have not done a very good job of framing their positions for the upcoming midterms……I have also stated that with the increase pressure from the GOP on Obamacare failures and the run up to making it more difficult for normally Dem voters…… the likelihood that the Senate could be lost to the GOP come November.
Imagine the screwing that the American people will take with the legislative branch and the judicial in the hands of conservs…….NOTHING will be accomplished for the next two year…..all of which is what the GOP would like….it will make it a little easier for them to take the White House if they can show how badly the Dems govern……..the sad part is that Dems are giving this scenario to the GOP because they are just too good to bother to vote in the midterms…..
But do not take my word for it…….Nate Silver, a political calculus dude, has been very successful in his predictions of political races…..he was spot on in 2012 and now he speaks on his calculations for the mid-terms……
From his blog “FiveThirtyEight.com”……………
When FiveThirtyEight last issued a U.S. Senate forecast — way back in July — we concluded the race for Senate control was a toss-up. That was a little ahead of the conventional wisdom at the time, which characterized the Democrats as vulnerable but more likely than not to retain the chamber.
Our new forecast goes a half-step further: We think the Republicans are now slight favorites to win at least six seats and capture the chamber. The Democrats’ position has deteriorated somewhat since last summer, with President Obama’s approval ratings down to 42 or 43 percent from an average of about 45 percent before. Furthermore, as compared with 2010 or 2012, the GOP has done a better job of recruiting credible candidates, with some exceptions.
Note: I will press the whole post so that you may see just what and how he is predicting this
Only person to blame when this occurs is oneself….if you did not vote because it was not interesting enough for you to waste your time……
“Imagine the screwing that the American people will take with the legislative branch and the judicial in the hands of conservs…….
NOTHING will be accomplished for the next two year…..all of which is what the GOP would like …” I’m not seeing where Nate Silver voiced the same when you said “Don’t take my word for it”.
There’s no “imagining” at all in the screwing the American people have taken at the hands of team Obama. It’s a reality pointing to a Democrat spanking later this year, according to Mr. Silver.
It is all propaganda….we can call i whatever we like but it is all propaganda……the Dems are screwing themselves and the Repubs should take advantage of their wimpiness……I do not think it will be good for the US…but by all means take it to the limit…..the screwing that we both allude to is all perception……but we agree the Am ppl are stupid….some think becuz they voted for Obama 2 times and others becuz they buy into BS we will just have to wait and see which is which, huh?
Yes, time will tell. Personally I think we’re screwed either way.
Steve sorry if that last reply was scattered…I was trying to do two things at once…..trying to talk on the pone and type is not something I should do….
I will agree with you….surprise!…….we are in for a few hard years…..chuq
