It feels like the 4th of July here at DU tonight! No more hostage taking! More good Democrats to help Obama's agenda and end obstruction! The GOP is in a rout!

rout (noun):

a disorderly retreat of defeated troops : the retreat degenerated into a rout | the army was in a state of demoralization verging on rout.

a decisive defeat: the party lost more than half their seats in the rout.

an assembly of people who have made a move toward committing an illegal act that would constitute an offense of riot.

a disorderly or tumultuous crowd of people: a rout of strangers ought not to be admitted.


rout (verb)

defeat and cause to retreat in disorder: in a matter of minutes the attackers were routed.

put to rout put to flight; defeat utterly: put a gang to rout.


ORIGIN Middle English: ultimately based on Latin ruptus ‘broken’

‘breakup of an army’

find (someone or something), or force them from a place: Simon routed him from the stable.


After seeing the crazed Congressional stenographer and Cruz's crusade sputter, I think we can safely use that word. They failed every moral test and don't deserve a place in D.C.

go to bed tonight wondering if we're going to be getting our SS checks come November! It was so real.. they wanted it so bad and are still whining they didn't blow up the US Economy and our Lives with it!

thanks for the definitions of "Rout" and so grateful we are talking about this being the teaklan's state of being right now.

Here's to the Blowback on what they've caused to be long lasting and dead on!
