re: #226 Vicious Babushka

The ‘00 election was not a HUGE victory for the GOP, they won by the tiniest of margins.

But he does have a point. There is a pendulum effect in American politics. One of the most reliable is that we almost always elect a congress opposite the executive within a cycle or two. Republicans should have already gained both houses by now. I think that’s one of the things giving Republican insiders fits. They blew easy political gains by engaging in this nonsense. The party has become its own worst enemy.
