Now The GOP Needs To Worry About The Senate In 2016

[CaptainObvious]

I think the R's will behave themselves and survive 2016. But if they go Full Tea Party and try and shut down government and try to impeach the Big O, then 2016 will be a disaster and Hillary will be able to declare a public mandate for whatever she has in mind.

Obama is going to force the impeachment issue based on what Maddow said last night, and she is one of Obama's top advisers. Jarrett, Michelle, Rice and Maddow are the top four people who advise Obama. All are radical leftists with their sights now set on 2016. Maddow said last night that impeachment is, "a battle they want to fight." Her exact words.
I'm guessing Obama will bend or break every law he can to force the issue. Once started they can go to the only game plan they have left, race baiting. Of course impeachment is the result of racism. How can it be anything else? This sets the stage for Hillary since race baiting and sexism are basically the same game plan. They really can't run on anything else as everything this administration has done, both foreign and domestic, are abject failures. Impeachment will stir up the rabid leftist base. Vote republican and they'll be told it's back to the cotton fields and coat hanger abortions. Impeachment...it's their only hope for 2016.

The Balance of Power

Republicans’ First Step Was to Handle Extremists in Party
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/05/u...n=span-abc-region&WT.nav=span-abc-region&_r=0

It was late spring, and Republican leaders knew that if they wanted to win the Senate, they needed to crush the enemy: not Democrats, but the rebels within their own party.
And Chris McDaniel, a Senate candidate from Mississippi who had a history of making sexist and racially insensitive remarks, was a problem.

Candidates like Scott Brown, running for the Senate in New Hampshire, called the National Republican Senatorial Committee to complain that if Mr. McDaniel was not stopped, he could drag the whole party down. Strategists inside the committee’s headquarters on Capitol Hill were envisioning nightmares of Democrats caricaturing all their candidates as “mini-McDaniels.”

The committee’s executive director, Rob Collins, dragged complacent donors into the effort, playing recordings for them of some of Mr. McDaniel’s most incendiary remarks and persuading them to underwrite a massive get-out-the-vote effort to defeat him.

In June, the party establishment — just barely — vanquished Mr. McDaniel, reaching a turning point in their dogged campaign to purge the party of extremists and regain power in the Senate.

Republicans’ impressive showing Tuesday night — marking the first time the party will have a majority in both the House and Senate since 2006 — was the result of methodical plotting, careful candidate vetting and abundant preparation to ensure that the party’s candidates would avoid repeating the same devastating mistakes that cost them dearly in 2010 and 2012.

“You get your best players on the field in November, avoid doing something that makes us look like we are not adult enough to govern, and hope the wave is big,” said Senator Mitch McConnell in an interview in March, not long after Republicans scored a major coup by getting Cory Gardner, a congressman from Colorado and one of the party’s strongest candidates this election, into the race.

In interviews, more than two dozen lawmakers and strategists described the meticulous efforts.

Little was left to chance: Republican operatives sent fake campaign trackers — interns and staff members brandishing video cameras to record every utterance and move — to trail their own candidates. In media training sessions, candidates were forced to sit through a reel of the most self-destructive moments of 2012, when Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock’s comments on rape and pregnancy helped sink the party.

What websites are you spending your days on now? You used to sound reasonable.

I'm just quoting Maddox. Maddow is the Head Honcho over at MSNBC. It is an indisputable fact that MSNBC is the media outlet for the Obama administration. It's logical that Maddow has a direct line to the WH. It's also indisputable that Jarrett, Rice and Michelle are top advisers and push Obama in whatever direction they want.
Race bating and sexism is all the democratic party has left. They have no accomplishments of substance to run on for 2016. The leftist vision has been patently rejected. They're desperate.

Your logic may be good, but one of your premises is flawed, since Maddow is not one of Obama's top advisors.

Well one thing I'd bet some money on is that Obama is going to push the envelope and force the hand of republicans to challenge him on what he can and cannot do within the confines of the constitution. Soon as that happens the race card gets played and it gets played hard. The left and their media outlet MSNBC will push that for all it's worth.

The Repubs don't have any accomplishments either, other than shutting down the government. And impeachment is a non-starter. Just more Benghazi.

Yeah, it's not like the House sent any bills to the Senate to review or vote on.

I want to see them reign in , or even hold to account, some of the out of control bureaucracies, but will they? Doubtful. They could start with the EPA, IRS, and so on. Won't be holding my breath, though.

republican or democrat, all bureaucracy is a tool to hand out jobs and appointments.
