I think they will stomp and fume and throw hissy fits but they aren't going to change much. Nothing good will pass either but it wasn't going to anyway. We set our sights for 2016 and let them get their panties in a wad. Think of all the money they spent for nothing.

including at a min. a major change to the left. People aren't going to put up with this meandering, wait it out, corporate outlook anymore. They want REAL OPPOSITION. And soon.

Dems could spend the next two years showing Americans what they could have if they really want it.

nothing these anti democratic Fascists bring up for the next two years . They gave the finger to the majority for 6 years.
We need to do the same for the next two .

You know how alcoholics often need to hit rock bottom before they can admit they have a problem? America has a Republican problem.


(Yes, I know they'll do damage that can never be undone, and they'll do everything possible to solidify corporate rule. I'm just being facetious looking for the silver lining)
