    Will the Mid-Terms be a Disaster for the Democrats?

    Gallup: Voter opposition to Obama at 16-year high, worse than Bush, Clinton


    Angry and frustrated voters are planning to use the midterm elections in one month to tell President Obama they oppose his agenda, the highest “no vote” percentage in the last 16 years measured by Gallup.

    The Democrats will most likely lose the majority in the Senate.

    No. Unfortunately, neither party ever suffers a disaster.

    Wasn't that hard to play. There's a reason why corporations look for CEOs who have experience and not just pick a random dude off the street to run thier corporation.

    We wouldn't be having this conversation if Hillary was the president

    All the GOP had to do was to obstruct everything long enough to where people would believe it's actually blue's fault.

    If you tell a lie long enough and yell loud enough eventually people will believe you.

    Well they've been doing it since 2009. That's what happened with the 2010 mid-terms.

    Then 2012, turnout from the youth vote was higher, which was missing from 2010. 2014 looks to be a repeat of 2010, which is "the people have spoken". When Obama won in 2012 McConnell and Boehner didn't say "the people have spoken" it was "the people are giving him a second chance to fix it". It wasn't a mandate to get things done in their political speak, but rest assured if they win mid-terms this year it will be a mandate and the "people have woken up". Then I'll have to wait another decade for more baby boomers to die off.

    I just want all these inquiries look into that was shoved under the rug.

    I think this is what Democrats are afraid of. Just like when Chimpy was hiding stuff, he had to sweat it out because of Cheney backdoor deals.


    Witch hunt will be in full effect if the Reps win both sides, but there will be no changes in laws that have went through already as that would be disastrous.

    Which part? That Hillary would be a better president than Obama or its f'ing stupid to put someone in the presidential position with no leadership experience at all.

    Most businesses are ran by people who have no experience. You think small businesses can be ran by people who worked in corporate empires their whole life?

    Not to mention you think Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates are bad CEOs?

    That said nothing in the world prepares you to be president of the USA. Nothing. You think John Adams was a leader before? What about Honest Abe? JFK? Well I guess JFK was a military man, if you want to.

    and America will continue to lose

    I honestly think we need to switch to a parlimentary system.

    I like the idea of the nonpartisan democracy. If you can't just vote for someone cause an R or D you need to actually do research.

    Senate will likely go R. Map really favors them.

    Really misleading poll though. The information doesn't say a whole lot. 32% are voting against the Obama agenda. My guess is about 95% of those folks were voting R anyway. If this were a poll of independents, it would signal a replay of 2010. The 12 percentage point gap is troubling, but it is still going to boil down to what is happening in each state (and that does favor Republicans).
