re: #329 HappyWarrior

I don’t disagree but I am saying they will try to push now having control of the Senate as a mandate for them.

Oh, yeah, you’re totally right about that. 2004 was a huge mandate in gop eyes, even though Bush won by a very small margin—one state to be exact.

They didn’t try as hard to claim that 2000 was a mandate. Because when you lose the popular vote by 600,000, even most Republicans have enough shame to realize that’s a shitty argument. But that was 14 years ago.

Today’s Republicans are even worse. Did you know, for example, that the economic collapse that began in 2007 was Obama’s fault? The fact that he didn’t take office til 2009 is beside the point.
