About Last Night…
I haven’t blogged about the 2014 election… until now. Am I disappointed Republicans now control the House and the Senate. Yes. Am I devastated? No. And here’s why.
Since 2010 the Republican battle cry has been that the House can’t get its crazy past the D controlled Senate. This worked for them – it was like a constant campaign commercial. It worked for the so-called “sane” Republicans as well. Vote to repeal the ACA for the gazillionth time? Sure. Why not. The D controlled Senate would block it and the Rs would get to keep their Conservative street cred while doing nothing. It’s why there were so many votes taken to repeal the ACA – every Republican wanted a chance (or two, or forty) to go on the record with that meaningless vote.
But now that vote isn’t meaningless, and I’m seeing problems on the horizon.
