They've got to rally at some point. OK, so were only in the first quarter, half time coming up fast. What's the call Coach? Uh, well, ya see, uh, OK, you guys go hard right and...  |
Political campaigning has long been characterized by mud slinging and negativity. It should NOT be that way, but it IS that way.
What can the Democrats say? "The Republicans haven't done anything to help?"
The Republicans can say, "That's right, we haven't done anything to waste Trillions of Dollars and raise taxes for bad bills!"
Right now 80% of the population do not approve of what Congress is doing. And 100% of the disapproved doing is Democrat doing.
Democrat losses are assured, current events and history say so. IF the Republicans had a good strategy and mounted a strong and viable campaign they could wrest control of both houses from the Dems. But that is very unlikely. Dems will keep shooting themselves in the foot with howitzers and lose total control while Repubs shoot themselves with pellet guns and gain some seats by default.
There is NO issue of Republicans being bad and Democrats being 'good.' Both are bad, Democrats, holding the power get the most blame. Republicans gain just by avoiding a major mistake.[Which they are fully capable of making!]
