If the Democrats fail to take the House, it will be devastating to the Democrat Party. Nancy Pelosi has already got all the moving boxes ready to move into the Speaker’s office. The chances of them taking the Senate are slim to none.

Heh. Not just them. I don't think the country can take much more of this single party rule for as long as you can stuff. The damage from the GOP's war on critical thinking is going to outlast the current occupant of the WH anyway.

Those judges and justices will serve for life. That can be a long times.

More good things can get done when the right party is in the majority.

A big key is that the Republicans will still control the Senate. As we all know it now only takes a simple majority to confirm judges and justices.

It's not Republican professors that have been indoctrinating the young into not critically thinking.

It's Social Marxist professors that do not teach by the Socratic method.

I guess that's great when your party is the one in charge.

Very true, we can thank Senator Harry Reid (D) for making that change. We had the filibuster option to protect the minority party for how long? Reid decided to change it to get a large slate of nominees approved for President Obama. Then the Republicans returned the favor and made it only take a simple majority on SCOTUS appointments.

The moral of the story: BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU DO; IT COULD COME BACK AND BITE YOU IN THE ASS LATER!
