What will happen is cause a lame duck scenario and I’m sure the likes of people like Reid will behind the scenes with his Marxist agendas. Then we have other problems like the issues of the people concerning many of the unconstitutional issues going right over their heads so focused on their own agendas and President knowing he’s left to play golf the rest of his term playing unconstitutional executive orders and the republicans will still be stuck with their lame duck which Armstrong commented on.

Our model actually predicted 52 seats for the Republicans who needed six seats to win control of the 100-member Senate, but by late evening they had the seven. Our model put the maximum at 54 and it showed a minimum of 45, which is where the Republicans were. That showed that the Republicans would certainly not lose any seats. The two Republican victories were in Iowa where Republican Joni Ernst was declared the winner over Democrat Bruce Braley and the Republican Thom Tillis defeated incumbent Democratic Senator Kay Hagan in North Carolina. These were the key seats, but the Republican Senate candidates also picked up Democratic seats in Montana, Colorado, West Virginia, South Dakota and Arkansas.
This is being touted as the “Republican Surge” that is now expected to force Obama to scale back his legislative agenda (or who ever is pulling the strings) but this may not limit his ambitions to either use un-Democratic executive actions, which should be declared unconstitutional since they do not require legislative approval. Meanwhile, Obama is poised to issue executive actions by year’s end to defer deportations of some undocumented immigrants, and over energy policy, as Republican press the president to approve the Keystone XL pipeline carrying oil from Canada. On other issues, like climate change, Obama is likely to continue to take actions on his own.
Now the delusional Republicans, hoping to win the White House in 2016, will find themselves perhaps wishing they had not had this “Republican Surge” for they will not comprehend what is really going on here. The pressure will now be on Republicans to show Americans they are capable of governing something. This is a powerful repudiation of the Obama agenda, and the Obama economy that isn’t working. However, the Republicans stand little chance of correcting anything given Boehner removed from all financial committees anyone who supported Ron Paul demonstrating he doesn’t get it. Boehner will now be re-elected as Speaker and this guy is incapable of creating any positive change himself. He likes Washington as is and sees nothing wrong with the power system.. He went out of his way to defeat any Tea Party candidates so he could rule the Republican Party his way – maintain the status quo. That will DOOM the Republicans for 2016 so Boehner was handed the keys to how to destroy the two-party system. Just watch how nothing will change now.
Boehner cannot grasp that the American people are frustrated with what’s happening in Washington. He will not change anything and see the victory tonight as a confirmation of his delusional view – a huge mistake. A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed 75% of respondents believe the administration needs to “rethink” how it approaches major issues facing the United States and 64% said Obama should replace some of his senior staff after the election. Boehner simply will not grasp this is not a vote for him as much as it is a vote against Washington as a whole. The polls that show the approval rating of Congress are only at 7% – even worse than the Presidency that stand at 39%.
This all sets the stage for 2016. When the people see things do not get better and as the economy turns down 2015.75 – there will be one-year to the 2016 election. We should see a sharp rise in third party (independent) candidates for the first time since the Great Depression.
